Presented are the results of an earthquake magnitude homogenization exercise for several datasets of induced earthquakes. The result of this exercise is to show that homogeneous computation of earthquake momentand local-magnitude is useful in hazard assessment of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGSs). Data include records from EGSs in Basel (Switzerland), Soultz (France) and Cooper Basin (Australi...

the purpose of this study was to detect differentially functioning items in the university of tehran english proficiency test (utept) which is a high stake test of english developed and administered by the language testing centre of the university of tehran. this paper is based on the answers of 400 test takers to the test. all participants earned a master degree either in humanities or science...

by application of design spectra in seismic analyses, determination of design spectra for different site conditions, magnitudes, safety levels and damping ratios will improve the accuracy of seismic analysis results. the result of this research provides different design acceleration spectra based on iran earthquakes database for different conditions. for this purpose first a set of 146 records ...

Qualitative interaction (Peto, 1982) is a useful concept, but its practical value i~ limited because its presence is hard to detect. This difficulty arises from trying to detect a treatment effect of opposite direction to the main effect in a small number of subgroups. Simulation results are presented which reinforce this point. A new measure of interaction magnitude, I AI, is introduced and pr...

Numerical cognition is critical for modern life; however, the precise neural mechanisms underpinning numerical magnitude allocation in humans remain obscure. Based upon previous reports demonstrating the close behavioral and neuro-anatomical relationship between number allocation and spatial attention, we hypothesized that these systems would be subject to similar control mechanisms, namely dyn...

Magnitude Squared Coherence (MSC) is a signal processing tool that indicates how well two time domain signals match one with the other by tracking linear dependencies in their spectral decomposition. Spectral Coherence ANalysis (SCAN) was the first way to use it as a Side-Channel Attack (SCA). This paper introduces two ways of using the Magnitude Squared Coherence in side-channel analyses. The ...

We examine the relationship between two different types of ranked data, frequencies and magnitudes. We consider data that can be sorted out either way, through numbers of occurrences or size of the measures, as it is the case, say, of moon craters, earthquakes, billionaires, etc. We indicate that these two types of distributions are functional inverses of each other, and specify this link, firs...

Abstract. Non-uniform filtering of the Navier-Stokes equations expresses itself, next to the turbulent stresses, in additional closure terms known as commutator errors. These terms require explicit subgrid modeling if the non-uniformity of the filter is sufficiently pronounced. We derive expressions for the magnitude of the mean flux, the turbulent stress flux and the commutator error for indiv...
