The Oligocene Balleny Group of Chalky Island, southwestern Fiordland, comprises a typical continental margin sequence 900 m in thickness. Thin nearshore traction deposited sediments at the base are overlain by submarine canyon and fan lithofacies that were deposited by the full range of subaqueous mass-transport processes. A steep-walled channel within Balleny Group is interpreted as a fossil p...

Air traffic system is analyzed from the aspects of system's attributes internal operating mechanisms and external behaviors. A hybrid air traffic simulation model described by the combination of discrete event and continuoustime models is proposed. The simulation model uses Agent-based techniques to describe micro behaviors of the air traffic individuals and integrates micro behaviors into dyna...

Abstract The West Flood Canal River is one of the major rivers that flows central Semarang Bay. west flood canal river located in middle a densely populated residential and used as city drainage Semarang. Unfortunately, upper part has been swallowed up. This unique sedimentation dynamics, so it becomes suitable research object to determine relationship between processes concentration trace elem...

Many types of electrostatic and electromagnetic microactuators have been developed. It is important to understand the fundamental performance limitations of these actuators for use in micro-robotic systems. The most important consideration for micro mobile robots is the effective power density of the actuator. As inertia and gravitional forces become less significant for small robots, typical m...

This open access book presents new theory and methods on compiling lithofacies paleogeographic maps as key tool for guiding geological survey shale gas

Reservoir characterization This paper gives an overview of the activities in geostatistics for the Petroleum industry in the domain of reservoir characterization. This description has been simplified in order to emphasize the original techniques involved. The main steps of a study consist in successively building: • the reservoir architecture where the geometry of the units is established, • th...

Small noncoding RNAs play a critical role in regulating messenger RNA throughout brain development and when altered could have profound effects leading to disorders such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We assessed small noncoding RNAs, including microRNA and small nucleolar RNA, in superior temporal sulcus association cortex and primary auditory cortex in typical and ASD brains from early c...
