The India–Asia collision, starting from 55 ± 5 Ma, leads to the formation of Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau with great gravity potential energy large forces acting on surrounding blocks. However, subduction transference/jump does not occur in southern Indian continental margin or northern oceanic plate as supposed happen repeatedly during preceding Tethys evolution. Instead, collision orogeny co...

[1] A new three-dimensional seismic model and relocated regional seismicity are used to illuminate the great Sumatra-Andaman Islands earthquake of December 26, 2004. The earthquake initiated where the incoming Indian Plate lithosphere is warmest and the dip of the WadatiBenioff zone is least steep along the subduction zone extending from the Andaman Trench to the Java Trench. Anomalously high t...

Approximately 140 million years ago, the Indian plate separated from Gondwana and migrated by almost 90° latitude to its current location, forming the Himalayan-Tibetan system. Large discrepancies exist in the rate of migration of Indian plate during Phanerozoic. Here we describe a new approach to paleo-latitudinal reconstruction based on simultaneous determination of carbonate formation temper...

A number of geophysical observations reveal that the underthrusting Indian continental plate beneath southern Tibetan Plateau is laterally torn and segmented, with contrasting subduction angles along strike. However, mechanism such kind slab tearing remains unclear. Here, a series 3-D high-resolution numerical models are conducted, which suggest lateral variation (either gradually or abruptly c...

This paper presents Automatic Number Plate extraction, character segmentation and recognition for Indian vehicles. In India, number plate models are not followed strictly. Characters on plate are in different Indian languages, as well as in English. Due to variations in the representation of number plates, vehicle number plate extraction, character segmentation and recognition are crucial. We p...

Chondrocyte differentiation during embryonic bone growth is controlled by interactions between PTHrP and Indian hedgehog. We have now determined that the major components of this signaling pathway are present in the postembryonic growth plate. PTHrP was immunolocalized throughout the growth plate, and semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis of maturationally distinct chondrocyte fractions indicated th...

S U M M A R Y Magnetic anomaly and fracture zone data on the Southeast Indian Ridge (SEIR) are analysed in order to constrain the kinematic history of the Macquarie Plate, the region of the Australian Plate roughly east of 145◦E and south of 52◦S. Finite rotations for Australia–Antarctic motion are determined for nine chrons (2Ay, 3Ay, 5o, 6o, 8o, 10o, 12o, 13o and 17o) using data limited to th...

over the past decade of extensive research works, the thin un-stiffened steel plate shear wall(spsw) has now emerged as a promising lateral load resisting system. considering thedemand of performance-based seismic design (pbsd) philosophy in current and futureseismic design codes, a ductility-based design was recently proposed for spsw systems withpin-connected boundary beams. however, the effe...
