the doruneh fault is one of the longest and most prominent faults in iran. however, only two recorded historical earthquakes with magnitudes more than 7 might be related to this fault. for getting more information on this fault more investigation in different fields are required. fault displacement is one of the most important parameters needed to explore the fault activity. in this study, with...

(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...

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....

Freshwater picocyanobacteria including Synechococcus remain poorly studied at the genomic level, compared to their marine representatives. Here, using a metagenomic assembly approach we discovered two novel Synechococcus sp. genomes from two freshwater reservoirs Tous and Lake Lanier, both sharing 96% average nucleotide identity and displaying high abundance levels in these two lakes located at...

Catedrático emérito sociología por Universidad Burdeos y director estudios Escuela Altos Estudios Ciencias Sociales, ha publicado numerosos libros, muchos ellos traducidos, entre los cuales se hallan Sociologie l’expérience (1994) Le déclin l’institution (2002) o temps des passions t...

Une équipe d’entités mobiles (robots), identiques et sans mémoire, doit explorer un arbre anonyme en visitant tous ses nœuds. Les robots démarrent depuis des nœuds différents et arbitraires de l’arbre et opèrent suivant des cycles RegarderCalculer-Aller (Look-Compute-Move). A la fin, chaque nœud doit avoir été visité par au moins un robot, et tous les robots doivent s’arrêter. Dans un cycle, un...

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and reliability of transorbital ultrasound (TOUS) measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in healthy rabbits and evaluate the influence of body weight and head circumference on the ONSD biometry. Methods: TOUS was performed to measure the ONSD 3 mm behind the optic disk in 31 adult male New Zealand White rabbits independently ...

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...
