In order for airports to manage the bird strike risk effectively, a risk assessment process needs to be carried out to identify the major hazards at the airport, the levels of risk that they produce, and the most cost effective means of reducing that risk. Despite the fact that bird controllers, managers and consultants make informal bird strike risk assessments throughout their working lives, ...

Postencounter and circa-strike defensive contexts represent two adaptive responses to potential and imminent danger. In the context of a predator, the postencounter reflects the initial detection of the potential threat, whereas the circa-strike is associated with direct predatory attack. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural organization of anticipation and av...

because of urgent needs of groundwater resources in the tochal region of north tehran, an integration of electric and electromagnetic methods was applied to investigate the location and the direction of water bearing fractures. first, the vlf electromagnetic profiling was performed on suitable places and two locations were detected for supplementary resistivity surveys. then, a number of vertic...

The authors examined how dispute-related stressors predicted strain experienced by third parties (N = 270) and their perceptions of a potential strike by part-time faculty. Immediately preceding a strike deadline, the authors surveyed students on their support for the union, perceived fairness, perceived effects of the impending strike, and perceived control. The authors also measured perceptio...

Between August 2017 and March 2019, an intense seismic swarm was recorded in the Maurienne valley north of Belledonne massif (Western French Alps). In order to study spatiotemporal evolution swarm, we created a high-resolution catalog based on template matching, double-difference relocation, moment magnitudes. The includes 71,064 events with maximum magnitude 3.5 completeness 0.7. activity is i...

We present a new model for the tectonic evolution of the Tasman Sea based on dense satellite altimetry data and a new shipboard data set. We utilized a combined set of revised magnetic anomaly and fracture zone interpretations to calculate relative motions and their uncertainties between the Australian and the Lord Howe Rise plates from 73.6 Ma to 52 Ma when spreading ceased. From chron 31 (67....

Lake Urmia in northwestern Iran is one of the hypersaline lakes of world. In the Urmia region a Cenozoic island arc was formed by northeastward subduction of Neo-Tethyan oceanic plate beneath central Iran; the lake is therefore located in the fore-arc basin tectonic setting. Satellite imagery of the Urmia region illustrates that the trend of faults are in two main NE-SW and NW-SE directions. Th...

Late Miocene (12-5 Ma) extension around the edges of the Gulf of California has been alternatively attributed to "Basin and Range" extension, back arc extension, or development of the Pacific-North America plate boundary. This extension was ENE directed and similar in structural style to extension in the Basin and Range province. Timing constraints permit nearly synchronous onset of this deform...
