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....

[1] In contrast to far-field tsunami amplitudes that are fairly well predicted by the seismic moment of subduction zone earthquakes, there exists significant variation in the scaling of local tsunami amplitude with respect to seismic moment. From a global catalog of tsunami runup observations this variability is greatest for the most frequently occurring tsunamigenic subduction zone earthquakes...

Protein crystallization screens frequently yield salt crystals as well as protein crystals. A simple method for determining whether a crystal is composed of salt or macromolecules is suggested. A drop containing one or more crystals is transferred to a glass cover slip and the cover slip is then passed through the flame of a Bunsen burner. Macromolecule crystals are destroyed by this treatment,...

This paper concern with the investigation of peristaltic transport of a micropolar fluid in an asymmetric channel in the presence of induced magnetic field. The effect of slip velocity on the boundaries of the flow field is taken into account. The analysis is carried out by using long wave length and low Reynolds number assumptions. Mathematical expressions for axial velocity, stream function, ...

Abstract This paper discusses continuum models for simulating earthquake sequences on faults governed by rate-and-state dependent friction. Through detailed numerical analysis of a conventional strike-slip fault, new observations regarding the use various are presented. We update recently proposed plasticity-based model using consistently linearized formulation, show its agreement with discrete...

The level-set method of Sussman et al. [J. Comput. Phys. 148 (1999) 81] is extended such that flows with multiple moving contact lines can be simulated, accounting for inertia, a relation between contact-line speed and contact angle, slip and contact-line hysteresis. The convergence properties of the method are investigated, with particular attention on the resolution of the contact-line stress...

The East Anatolian Fault in southern Turkey ruptured on 6 February 2023, causing a Mw 7.8 earthquake (EQ1), one of the largest strike-slip events recorded land. ∼9 hr later, 7.7 (EQ2) occurred to north EQ1. We investigate here near-field coseismic ionospheric perturbations (CIP) caused by acoustic waves (AWs) excited vertical crustal movements. find that observed CIP periods were somewhat longe...

The article is devoted to a motion control problem for a differentially driven mobile robot in the task of trajectory tracking in the presence of skid-slip effects. The kinematic control concept presented in the paper is the Vector Field Orientation (VFO) feedback approach with a nonlinear feed-forward skid-slip influence compensation scheme. The VFO control law guarantees asymptotic convergenc...

We study in this paper the movement of a rigid solid inside an incompressible Navier-Stokes flow, within a bounded domain. We consider the case where slip is allowed at the fluid/solid interface, through a Navier condition. Taking into account slip at the interface is very natural within this model, as classical no-slip conditions lead to unrealistic collisional behavior between the solid and t...
