The morphological evolution of a carbonate fault line scarp from southern Italy, generated by transpressional faulting and evolved by slope replacement, has been reconstructed. C dating of faulted slope deposits (ages included between 18 ka and ~8 ka BP) have been performed to constrain the Late Pleistocene — Holocene evolution of that scarp. Longto short-term denudation rates have been also ev...

High-quality seismic data recorded during the 1999 Taiwan Chi-Chi earthquake (Mw=7.6) show that a smallscale orogenic process of both mountain-building and crust-thickening was simultaneously accomplished along one set of crustal-scale conjugated faults. Mountain-building near the surface was primarily produced by the main shock along an eastward low-angle thrust fault in the upper crust. In th...

The interpretation of a densely spaced and well-calibrated seismic grid sheds new light on the development and evolution of key regional and local structures in the Wessex Basin. The results help to resolve long-standing controversies concerning the tectonic significance of apparently anomalous outcrop patterns and the role of important, local ancillary structures with respect to the major mono...

The excavation in the Wanfung area has provided evidence for at least three earthquake ruptures, including the 1999 ChiChi one. The Chi-Chi earthquake formed an obviously major reverse fault, backthrust, and several minor normal faults, accompanied by a teardrop-shape anticline in the fault tip. Paleoseismic ruptures I and II show the vertical displacement of 0.4 m and 1.2 m, respectively, whic...

In this paper, we present a unified framework for sensor validation, which is an extremely important module in the engine health management system. Our approach consists of several key ideas. First, we applied nonlinear minor component analysis (NLMCA) to capture the analytical redundancy between sensors. The obtained NLMCA model is data driven, does not require faulty data, and only utilizes s...

Monitoring a communication line is significant for broadband, mobile phone and so on. In this paper, we propose a new method for detecting a fault point of communication line by use of M-sequence correlation technique. In this method, detecting signal is used as one or plural M-sequences ( same characteristic polynomial, including normal and reverse mark, synchronized ). At receiving tap, we ma...

This paper proves some topological properties of bitonic sorters, which have found applications in constructing, along with banyan networks, internally nonblocking switching fabrics in future broadband networks. The states of all the sorting elements of an N œ N bitonic sorter are studied for four different input sequences ai i N ; @ =1, bi i N ; @ =1, ci i N ; @ =1, and di i N ; @ =1, where ai...

At 00:43 UTC on 27 July 2022, a 15-km deep major earthquake with magnitude (M w ) 7.0 struck Northwestern Luzon, Philippines. The strongest ground shaking felt was at PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS) VII (destructive), equivalent to Modified Mercalli (MMI) VII, in Abra and along the coastal areas of Ilocos Sur. More than thousand landslides, rockfalls tension cracks were mapped, near ...

On 8 January 2022, a Moment Magnitude (Mw) 6.7 earthquake occurred in Menyuan, China. The epicenter was located the western segment of Lenglongling fault Qilian-Haiyuan zone. In this area, Mw 5.9 Menyuan on 26 August 1986 and 21 2016 successively occurred. seismogenic structures earthquakes are Northern fault, which is few kilometers away from fault. After 2022 earthquake, we collected GF-7 Sen...

Reverse order restoration ROR techniques have found great use in sequential automatic test pattern generation ATPG, esp. spectral and perturbation-based ATPG. This paper deals with improving ROR for that purpose. We introduce parallel-fault multipass 2-level polynomial reverse order restoration PROR algorithms with constant complexity of the form H(n)G(n) + c where H(n) is the number of vectors...
