Although recent studies have revealed more widespread occurrences of magnetofossils in pre-Quaternary sediments than have been previously reported, their significance for paleomagnetic and paleoenvironmental studies is not fully understood. We present a paleo- and rock-magnetic study of late Miocene marine sediments recovered from the Guadalquivir Basin (SW Spain). Well-defined paleomagnetic di...

Taking into account the importance of Lake Sevan and Lake Sevan basin’s rivers for Armenian economy, the main goals of our investigations were the documentation of water quality and the biodiversity of invertebrates developed in Lake Sevan basin’s rivers and selected tributaries. Moderately satisfied ecological condition for the biodiversity of Lake Sevan basin’s rivers has been established, an...

The Peshawar basin is situated along the junction of the northern margin of the IndoGangetic foredeep and the southern margin of the Hindu Rush-Himalayan Ranges. During the late Cenozoic, southward encroachment of tectonic disruption into the foredeep terminated molasse deposition and delineated the Peshawar intermontane basin through uplift of the Attock Range along the southern margin of the ...

In this paper, we propose a fast 2-D block-based motion estimation algorithm called Particle Swarm Optimization Zero-motion Prejudgment(PSO-ZMP) which consists of three sequential routines: 1)Zero-motion prejudgment. The routine aims at finding static macroblocks(MB) which do not need to perform remaining search thus reduces the computational cost; 2)Predictive image coding and 3)PSO matching r...

This section contains statements of our results on homotopy operations as well as some applications of these results. The proofs depend on material in §2 and will be given in §3Note that, aside from the computations in ~,S at the end of this section, all the results here apply to the homotopy of any H ring spectrum Y. Let ~:DpY + Y denote the structure map. The order of results in this section ...

Introduction Dichelobacter nodosus is the causative agent of severe footrot, a contagious debilitating disease which affects ruminants particularly sheep and goats. The disease is characterised by separation of the hom of the hoof from the underlying soft tissues resulting in lameness, loss of body condition and reduced wool production (Rood et al. 1996). The first case of footrot in Malaysia w...

hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basin is an unstable phenomenon which causes some complexities in controlling of the   jump. this paper considers the stability of free hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basins from a theoretical point of view. a minimum value of upstream froude number is needed to produce the free hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basins which was presented by a theoretical...

The Weather Research and Forecasting model is used to perform large-eddy simulations of thermally driven cross-basin winds in idealized, closed basins. A spatially and temporally varying heat flux is prescribed at the surface as a function of slope inclination and orientation to produce a horizontal temperature gradient across the basin. The thermal asymmetry leads to the formation of a closed ...
