We present a new crustal cross section through the east-west trending ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) Dabie Shan orogenic belt, east central China, based on a 400km-long seismic refraction profile. Data from our profile reveal that the cratonal blocks north and south of the orogen are composed of 35-km-thick crust consisting of three layers (upper, middle, and lower crust) with average seismic velocit...

Biplane left ventricular angiography was performed in 22 patients with isolated obstructive disease of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery and with an anterior aneurysm following transmural myocardial infarction. Six patients were restudied between 6 and 10 months after aneurysmectomy. Left ventricular reserve was estimated by analysis of a spontaneous postextrasystolic b...

We describe a method to improve the reading of active pixels, so that this FPN is cancelled, with as final result a better cosmetic quality of the image. Several solutions to this problem have been proposed in literature. We described a technique based upon shifting the threshold voltage of the source follower transistor in the pixel [1] and a correction technique with a dedicated co-processor ...

The Reynold’s equation and energy equation has been solved using finite difference method to study the effect of variation in offset factor on the performance characteristics such as oil-film temperatures, thermal pressures, load carrying capacity, power loss, and Sommerfeld’s number of offset-halves journal bearing. Numerical solution of Energy equation is achieved using Parabolic Temperature ...

We compare a variety of methods for estimating the gas/ice depth offset (1depth) at EPICA Dome C (EDC, East Antarctica). (1) Purely based on modelling efforts, 1depth can be estimated combining a firn densification with an ice flow model. (2) The diffusive column height can be estimated from δ15N and converted to 1depth using an ice flow model and assumptions about past average firn density and...

This paper proposes a new method for parameter estimation of distorted single phase signals, through an improved demodulation-based phase tracking incorporated with a frequency adaptation mechanism. The simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared to the conventional SOGI (Second-Order Generalized Integrator)-based approach, in spite of the dc-offset and harmon...
