We consider whether it is possible to recover the three dimensional strain field tomographically from neutron and X-ray diffraction data for polycrystalline materials. We show that the distribution of strain transverse to a ray cannot be deduced from one diffraction pattern accumulated along that path, but that a certain moment of that data corresponds to the transverse ray transform of the str...

In this paper it is found that the spin four-tensor S can be decomposed into two 4-vectors, the usual “space-space” intrinsic angular momentum S and a new one, the “time-space” intrinsic angular momentum Z, which are both equally well physical quantities. It is shown that an electric dipole moment (EDM) of a fundamental particle, as a four-dimensional geometric quantity, is determined by Z and ...

Accurate earthquake source parameters such as fault mechanism, depth, and moment magnitude are not only important in seismic-hazard assessment, but also are crucial to studies of earthquake rupture processes and seismotectonics. Although large earthquakes (Mw 7+) may cause substantial damage, they occur less frequently. In contrast, moderate earthquakes (Mw 5.0–6.5) occur with much higher frequ...

Rapid procedures (i.e. within 5 to 15 minutes) for earthquake and tsunami early warnings focus on earthquake location, depth, magnitude, and slowness, but initial tsunami early warnings are more often issued without knowing the mechanism of the earthquake. Kawakatsu (1998) proposed using a limited number of stations to automatically detect, locate and determine the source parameters of earthqua...

the study area locates between an active fault system of north anatolian in turkey and active alborz and zagros mountain ranges in iran. the total shortening concluded from arabia-eurasia collision with a rate of 22 mm/year across the ne persia is partitioned  into  two  fault  systems,  right-lateral  strike slip  movements  in  the  turkish-iranian  plateau  like  north tabriz fault system an...
