(paper pages 133-156) zagros active fold-thrust belt lies on the northern margin of the arabian continental crust it is a young fold-thrust mountain belt currently shortening, thickening and uplifting as a result of the collision of the arabian and iranian plates. rethickening of crust during collisional orogenies could have been carried out by reversal of fault motion along the mesozoic normal...

Abstract This report summarizes the seismicity in Switzerland and surrounding regions years 2017 2018. In 2018, Swiss Seismological Service detected located 1227 955 earthquakes region under consideration, respectively. The strongest event analysed period was M L 4.6 Urnerboden earthquake, which occurred border of cantons Uri, Glarus Schwyz on March 6, 2017. earthquake within since 5.0 Vaz 1991...

Cervical spondylosis was defined by Brain (1948), by Brain, Northfield, and Wilkinson (1952), and by Frykholm (1951). Its essential features are protrusion of the annulus fibrosus and changes in the adjacent vertebral margins. The size of the cervical spinal canal may play a major part in the neurological manifestations of cervical spondylosis. The antero-posterior diameters of the cervical can...

the nnw-trending dena fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of zagros fold-thrust belt in borujen region. the fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. this study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of dena fault based on field evidence....

In this work, we prove the usefulness of morphometric analyses, typically applied to basin-border faults, define tectonic geomorphology a slow-moving, intrabasinal structure: Galera Fault (Guadix-Baza Basin, southern Spain). The is 30 km-long, oblique-slip fault with major left-lateral and minor vertical slip components. Through geological structural for first time detailed surface geometry fau...

The northern piedmont of the western Kunlun mountains (Xinjiang, China) is marked at its easternmost extremity, south of the Hotan-Qira oases, by a set of normal faults trending N50E for nearly 70 km. Conspicuous on Landsat and SPOT images, these faults follow the southeastern border of a deep flexural basin and may be related to the subsidence of the Tarim platform loaded by the western Kunlun...

The paper introduces a new method based on deterministic search to fractal image compression. In order to find a good region-based partitioning, we propose a deterministic search method for finding the blocks to be merged. For each range, a list of best N domains is maintained. When two ranges are to be merged and their common edge disappears, for the new range the best N domains are selected o...

The characteristics of near-fault ground motion are investigated considering heterogeneous slip distribution on the fault plane. Areas on the fault plane with large slip in compare with the average slip on the fault are known as asperity. The characteristics of strong ground motions in near-fault area are strongly affected by faulting parameters such as asperity location, maximum slip of asperi...

Summary In the current plate tectonics paradigm, relative motions are assumed to remain unperturbed by temporal stress changes occurring during seismic cycle, whereby slowly built up along tectonic boundaries is suddenly released rapid fault slip earthquakes. However, direct observations that could challenge such a tenet have not been identified so far. Here we show rigid motion of whole Anatol...
