A seismic and gravity survey along the eastern front of the Sierra Nevada, California, between southern Owens Valley and the Garlock fault, outlines a series of basins with maximum depths ranging from 5,000 to 9,000 ft. These basins follow the front of the Sierra Nevada in a continuous chain with one interruption of about 10 miles near Little Lake. The gravity anomalies indicate that the basins...

This paper deals with the handling of deformable linear objects (DLOs), such as hoses, wires or leaf springs, bases on force/torque sensing. First, we describe the characteristic change of force and moment for all single-contact transitions which may occur between DLO and a rigid polyhedron obstacle. Second, we present data processing algorithms for the automated detection of state transitions ...

This paper introduces ‘treatable’ theories, a large class of first-order theories each having a unique countable recursively saturated model.Important examples of such theories are DIS and DLO. It turns out that resplendency or parameter-free resplendency for such theories is implied by a Σ1(Π1 ThN)-statement. Other results concerning resplendency and Σ1definability are obtained.

Clowes et al. presented an informative article on the results of seismic reflection experiments conducted along four lines for LITHOPROBE on southern Vancouver Island. The various reflections indicated in the profiles, which are distributed as deep as the Mohorovicic discontinuity, formed the basis for proposing various scenarios for the tectonic development of the crust. Two of these hypothese...

Using the techniques of linear and quadratic programming, it can be shown that the isostatic response function for the continental United States, computed by Lewis & Dorman (1970), is incompatible with any local compensation model that involves only negative density contrasts beneath topographic loads. We interpret the need for positive densities as indicating that compensation is regional rath...

Intraplate ranges are topographic features that can occur far from plate boundaries, the expected position of orogens as described in tectonics theory. To understand lithospheric structure intraplate ranges, we focused on Spanish-Portuguese Central System (SPCS), most outstanding feature central Iberian Peninsula. The SPCS is an Alpine range exhumes Precambrian-Paleozoic rocks and located at >2...

Distributive lattices with operators (DLO) are a natural generalization of the notion of Boolean algebras with operators. An operator in a bounded distributive lattice A is a function f : An → A which preserves ∧ (or ∨) in each coordinate. In the last few years these classes of algebras have been actively investigated since they appear as algebraic counterpart of many logics. Some important con...

While handling deformable linear objects (DLOs), such as hoses, wires or leaf springs, with an industrial robot at high speed, unintended and undesired oscillations that delay further operations may occur. This paper analyzes oscillations based on a simple model with one degree of freedom (DOF) and presents a method for active open-loop damping. Different ways to interpret an oscillating DLO as...

Synopsis The yield-line method of analysis provides a powerful means of identifying the ultimate load carrying capacity of reinforced concrete slabs. Benefits of the yield-line method are that it will often identify additional reserves of strength when applied to the analysis of existing slabs, and to highly economic slabs when used in design. Traditionally a hand-based method, the yield-line m...

Abstract The article presents new data on the study of ore deposits in Uzbekistan recent years laboratory “Structure lithosphere”. Based complex regional geophysical data, a three-dimensional geological and analysis relief, basement Mohorovicic surfaces was carried out software ArcGIS 10.1. A spatial dynamic model Central Kyzylkum Ore-Magmatic concenter developed basis methodology, including an...
