the makran subduction zone in southeastern iran and southern pakistan is where the oceanic crust of the arabian plate (oman sea) is subducting beneath eurasia. compared to other subduction zones in the world, the makran subduction zone has some unusual features, including different seismicity patterns in its eastern and western parts. also, the quaternary volcanoes in the eastern part of makran...

One well-known method for the verification and certification of NPP I&C and other safety critical systems is the fault injection technique (FIT). FIT is based on a design fault injection and vulnerability injection into the software code and the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) design or a physical fault injection into hardware modules. The requirements for FIT for safety critical applicati...

The role of the forearm (extrinsic) finger flexor muscles in initiating rotation of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint and in coordinating flexion at the MCP, the proximal interphalangeal (PIP), and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints remains a matter of some debate. To address the biomechanical feasibility of the extrinsic flexors performing these actions, a computer simulation of the index f...

Changes in the physicochemical characteristics of a regenerated cellulose (RC) film due to surface modification with room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) are determined. Two ILs (1-butyl-3-metylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate and tricaprylmethylammonium chloride) were selected, was performed by dip-coating process (1 h) corresponding IL. The characterization RC/IL films carried out XPS at vario...

A data set of 41 moderate and large earthquakes has been used to derive scaling rules for kinematic fault parameters. If effective stress and static stress drop are equal, then fault rise time, z, and fault area, S, are related by z = 16S1/2/(7~3/2~8), where ,8 is shear velocity. Fault length (parallel to strike) and width (parallel to dip) are empirically related by L = 2W. Scatter for both sc...

The short-term spectral variability of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy I Zwicky 1 (I Zw 1) as observed in an 85 ks XMM-Newton observation is discussed in detail. I Zw 1 shows distinct modes of variability prior to and after a flux dip in the broad-band light curve. Before the dip the variability can be described as arising from changes in shape and normalisation of the spectral components. Onl...

Water inrush disaster is an important factor in restricting safe production of the coal mine. Taking the roadway in seam in Danhou Coal Mine, as the engineering background, according to the spatial relationship of the roadway, the impermeable layer, the fault and the loading conditions, the fault activation mechanical model under the roadway excavation disturbance was built, and the fault activ...
