As part of the European ACT-sponsored research consortium, DETECT, we developed an integrated characterisation and risk assessment toolkit for natural fault/fracture pathways. In this paper, describe DETECT experimental-modelling workflow, which aims to be predictive fault-related leakage quantification, its application a field case example validation. The workflow combines laboratory experimen...

The extensional history of the Malad and Bannock ranges in southeast Idaho and northern Utah involves multiple phases of Tertiary normal faulting and synextensional deposition. Detailed geologic mapping, structural and stratigraphic analyses, and geochronologic data from this study elucidate previously defined deformational events in the region, and define two new extensional episodes. The larg...

: Sera from 1,448 adult ewes in 91 flocks, representing all 26 counties in the Republic of Ireland, were examined for pestivirus antibodies using a commercially available ELISA which detected IgG1 antibody to border disease virus. Eighty-one sheep (5.6%) in 42 flocks (46.0%) were antibody-positive. Within infected flocks, the mean seroprevalence level was 11.4% with a range of 6.3% to 30.0%. Th...

This paper presents a new investigation to detect various faults within the three-phase star and delta induction motors (IMs) using frequency response analysis (FRA). In this regard, experimental measurements FRA are performed on three IMs of ratings 1 HP, 3 HP 5.5 in normal conditions, short-circuit fault (SC) open-circuit (OC) conditions. The SC OC applied artificially between turns (Turn-to-...

considering recent developments in earthquake engineering, researchers has detected different effects of earthquakes far and near from the fault. investigations that have been done in this area show that near fault earthquakes have shorter time period comparing far fault earthquakes and in the velocity of near fault earthquakes, there are one or more impacting pulses with a big domain and perio...

Neogene extension in the Death Valley region, SE California, has produced a variety of sedimentary basins. Diachronous movements on an array of strike-slip and normal fault systems have resulted in the uplift and preservation of older basins in modern ranges. One of the best exposed of these is the Nova basin on the western flank of the Panamint Mountains. The Nova basin includes over 2000 m of...

Many studies have provided evidence for the existence of universal constraints on color categorization or naming in various languages, but the biological basis of these constraints is unknown. A recent study of the pattern of color categorization across numerous languages has suggested that these patterns tend to avoid straddling a region in color space at or near the border between the English...
