We examined the spatial relationship between seismicity and upper crustal structure in the Wakayama region, northwestern Kii Peninsula, Japan, by investigating microearthquake focal mechanisms and the local stress field. The focal mechanisms of most events studied fall into three categories: (1) normal faulting with N–S-oriented T-axes mainly occurring at shallow depths, (2) reverse faulting wi...

Seismic hazard in continental rifts varies as a function of strain accommodation by tectonic or magmatic processes. The nature of faulting in the Sevier Desert, located in eastern Basin and Range of central Utah, and how this faulting relates to the Sevier Desert Detachment low-angle normal fault, have been debated for nearly four decades. Here, we show that the geodetic signal of extension acr...

[1] Mars Orbiter Laser Altimetry (MOLA) data have been used to characterize lobate scarps along the dichotomy boundary in the eastern hemisphere of Mars. These structures are the surface expression of thrust faulting of the southern highlands. Displacement on the thrust faults is generally less than 1 km except in the case of the Amenthes Rupes thrust fault, where the maximum displacement is on...

Active deformation in Alborz range is due to N-S convergence between Arabia and Eurasia. This paper provides geomorphic traces of regional deformation in NW Iran in order to characterize active faulting on major faults. Soltanieh and North Zanjan fault systems are involved in convergence boundary extent between South Caspian Basin and Central Iran. Soltanieh and North Zanjan faults are major re...

This work investigates the effect of the explicit inclusion of queueing delays due to locking overhead in a performance study of a two phase locking concurrency control method. A mean value analysis is used to calculate the system's performance measures, response time and throughput. It is found that the locking overhead's contribution to delay depends largely on the degree of page faulting act...

We have compared aftershock patterns following several moderate to large earthquakes with the corresponding distributions of coseismic slip obtained from previous analyses of the recorded strong ground motion and teleseismic waveforms. Well-located aftershock hypocenters are projected onto the main shock fault plane, and their positions are examined relative to the zones of coseismic displaceme...

The protocol with RJS at UCLA requires that all programs and data to be transmitted on the data connection be blocked[2]. This means that we simulate records and blocks with special headers. This we found to be another problem because of the computation and core space involved. This computation took an appreciable amount of time and core space we found because of our real core size that we were...

We consider how a persistent programming language might offer performance competitive with that of non-persistent languages, at least on memory resident data. We are concernedwith object-oriented languages, and with implementing persistence via object faulting, where the system detects uses of non-resident objects and fetches them on demand. We present some background on object faulting and mea...
