The seismic anisotropy of the shallow oceanic crust across the East Pacific Rise (9330PN) is studied with P-wave refraction data collected during a controlled-source, three-dimensional tomography experiment. The anisotropy is indicated by a cos(2a) pattern of travel time residuals, where a is the receiver to shot azimuth. The travel time data are best fit by a model containing 4% anisotropy fro...

The cold molecular gas in the circumnuclear disk (CND) of radio galaxies provides critical information for understanding mass accretion onto active galactic nuclei. We present first detection and maps HCN J=1-0 HCO+ emission lines from region a nearby galaxy, NGC 4261, using Northern Extended Millimeter Array. Both are detected at radial velocity +-700 km/s relative to systemic they arise CND w...

Abstract Regional-scale estimates of groundwater recharge are inherently uncertain, but this uncertainty is rarely quantified. Quantifying provides an understanding the limitations estimates, and being able to reduce makes more useful for water resources management. This paper describes development a method constrain in upscaled using rejection sampling procedure baseflow remotely sensed evapot...

The subduction zones to the north and east of Australia provide frequent events over a broad range of depths which can be exploited in surface-wave tomography of the Australian region. The mid-ocean ridge to the south of the continent provides a less frequent, but very useful, set of shallow events. There are only a limited number of permanent seismic stations with high-fidelity broadband recor...

[1] The Adare Trough, located 100 km northeast of Cape Adare, Antarctica, represents the extinct third arm of a Tertiary spreading ridge between East and West Antarctica. It is characterized by pronounced asymmetric rift flanks elevated up to over 2 km above the trough’s basement, accompanied by a large positive mantle Bouguer anomaly. On the basis of recently acquired seismic reflection and sh...

An ethno botanical survey was undertaken to collect information from Yanadi tribe of Cheruvukattasangham, Kavali, Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh, India. Kavali is a part of Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt which is a Precambrian fold belt extending over 600 km along the east coast of India from the North of Cuttack in Orissa to Nellore in Andhra Pradesh. Yanadi tribe is most prevalent in this region...

waveguides with low confinement loss, low chromatic dispersion, and low nonlinear effects are used in optical communication systems. optical fibers can also be employed in such systems. besides optical fibers, photonic crystal fibers are also highly suitable transmission media for optical communication systems. in this paper, we introduce two new designs of index-guiding photonic crystal fiber ...

Japanese spotted fever and tsutugamushi disease are tickborne infections that persist in Shimane Prefecture. Their respective causative agents are Rickettsia japonica and Orientia tsutsugamushi. We report here their outbreak characteristics. Since the first report in 1987 (1), Japanese spotted fever has been reported every year, totaling 80 cases at the end of 2005 (Fig. 1). Among 80 cases, it ...
