[1] This work explores the control of fore-arc structure on segmentation of megathrust earthquake ruptures using coastal geomorphic markers. The Arauco-Nahuelbuta region at the south-central Chile margin constitutes an anomalous fore-arc sector in terms of topography, geology, and exhumation, located within the overlap between the Concepción and Valdivia megathrust segments. This boundary, howe...

We have found that for extreme dilaton black holes an inner boundary must be introduced in addition to the outer boundary to give an integer value to the Euler number. The resulting manifolds have (if one identifies imaginary time) topology S1×R×S2 and Euler number χ = 0 in contrast to the non-extreme case with χ = 2. The entropy of extreme U(1) dilaton black holes is already known to be zero. ...

Assembly of replication complexes at the replication origins is strictly regulated. Cdc45p is known to be a part of the active replication complexes. In Xenopus egg extracts, Cdc45p was shown to be required for loading of DNA polymerase alpha onto chromatin. The fission yeast cdc45 homologue was identified as a suppressor for nda4 and named sna41. Nevertheless, it is not known how Cdc45p facili...

conclusions our results demonstrated no significant correlation between the ird5 lifespan and the trehalose concentration. likewise, the correlation between lifespan extension, trehalose accumulation, and cellular resistance to hydrogen peroxide was not significant. results the lifespan of the ird5 mutant was significantly longer that of either the ird11 mutant or the wild type cells. under rep...

Primitive processes involved in auditory stream formation are measured with indirect, objective method. A target melody interleaved with a distractor sequence is followed by a probe melody that was identical to the target or differed by 2 notes. Listeners decided whether the probe melody was present or not in the composite sequence. Interleaved melody recognition is not possible when distractor...

A model based on the macroscopic-microscopic approach for calculating the fission-fragment properties is presented. Using this model, a large set of experimental data measured in lowand high-energy fission can be reproduced using one and same set of model parameters.

Abstract This study investigates the spatial and temporal pattern of rock exhumation inboard highly oblique Yakutat–North American plate boundary.

the radiophotoluminescence property of some materials makes it possible to use them for dosimetry purposes. the silver activated metaphoshate glass 1 as an rpl dosimeter when exposed to x. or y radiations , forms fluorescent centers with long lived states ( metastate ). the silver ions (ag+) in unirradiated state produces vacancies when energy is supplied by irradiation the release of electrons...

In order to improve on current prompt fission neutron spectrum measurements, a gamma multiplicity tagging method was developed at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Gearttner Linear Accelerator Center. This method involves using a coincidence requirement on an array of BaF2 gamma detectors to determine the timing of a fission event. This allows for much larger fission samples to be used due t...
