We investigate whether a shallow-dipping thrust fault is prone to waveslip interactions via surface-reflected waves affecting the dynamic slip. If so, can these interactions create faults that are opaque to radiated energy? Furthermore, in this case of a shallow-dipping thrust fault, can incorrectly assuming a transparent fault while using dislocation theory lead to underestimates of seismic mo...

The converted electric field in the seismoelectric effect can be used to monitor salinity of reservoir. Compared some conventional excitation methods (e.g., Monopole source), response law borehole shear-horizontal transverse-electric (SH-TE) waves fluid is unique. In order explore its physical mechanism, we study influence on SH-TE wave fields this paper. First, analyze field, simulate for diff...

The conversion-efficiency for second-harmonic (SH) in optical fibers is significantly limited by extremely weak second-order nonlinearity of fused silica, and pulse pump lasers with high peak power are widely employed. Here, we propose a simple strategy to efficiently realize the broadband continuous wave (CW) pumped SH, transferring crystalline GaSe coating onto microfiber phase-matching diame...

The momentum budget of the Transformed Eulerian-Mean (TEM) equation is calculated using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis (ERA-40) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Reanalysis 2 (R-2). This study outlines the considerable contribution of unresolved waves, deduced to be gravity waves, to the forcing of the zonal-mean flow. A tren...

In this article, we present a T-matrix method for numerical computation of second-harmonic generation from clusters arbitrarily distributed spherical particles made centrosymmetric optical materials. The electromagnetic fields at the fundamental and (SH) frequencies are expanded in series vector wave functions, single sphere entries computed by imposing field boundary conditions surface particl...

[1] The tomographic P wave model for the Japan subduction zone derived by Zhao et al. (1994) has two very striking features: a slab about 90 km thick with P wave velocities 3– 6% higher than the surrounding mantle and a mantle wedge with 6% low-velocity anomalies. We study three-component seismograms from more than 600 Hi-net stations produced by two earthquakes which occurred in the downgoing ...

In this paper we give, for the first time, a qualitative description of the asymptotic dynamics of a class of non-tilted spatially homogeneous (SH) cosmologies, the so-called exceptional Bianchi cosmologies, which are of Bianchi type VI −1/9. This class is of interest for two reasons. Firstly, it is generic within the class of non-tilted SH cosmologies, being of the same generality as the model...

A model for the mass sensitivity of Love wave and layer guided shear horizontal acoustic plate mode ~SH–APM! sensors is developed by considering the propagation of shear horizontally polarized acoustic waves in a three layer system. A dispersion equation is derived for this three layer system and this is shown to contain the dispersion equation for the two layer system of the substrate and the ...

1. Background, Motivation and Objective : Point of care testing (POCT) which is defined as diagnostic testing at or near the site of patient care has been required for future home healthcare. There are various important requirements for the biosensor platform for POCT, such as portable, cost per test, maximum achievable sensitivity and specificity, ease of use and wireless connectivity. 2. Stat...

worldwide networks of seismic recording instruments mostly record only translational ground motion in two or three orthogonal directions. rotational component of earthquake is not commonly recorded. several theories are available to estimate a torsional component from recorded translational components of ground motion. in this paper detailed investigations are made to study the relative perform...
