We use a genetic algorithm to attack the receiver function inversion problem where the objective is to retrieve shear wave velocities of rock layers as a function of depth. The receiver function inversion is a non–linear, multi–modal, and multi–parameter optimization problem suited for genetic algorithms. We implement a three operator genetic algorithm consisting of selection, single–point cros...

The current geological and tectonic setting of Iran is due to the ongoing convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian Plates, which resulted in the formation of the Iranian plateau, mountain building, extensive deformation and seismicity. The Iranian plateau is characterized by various domains including the continental collision and the oceanic plate seduction. Based on S receiver functions ar...

Neurological findings in preeclampsia fulfill diagnostic criteria of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), which is related to cerebral autoregulation impairment associated with high blood pressure. In preeclampsia, PRES may occur without a significant increase in blood pressure. Our aim was to investigate the association between ophthalmic artery resistive index (OARI) and clini...

Microseismic event back-azimuth is an indispensable parameter for source localization in downhole microseismic monitoring, and the accurate orientation of horizontal components seismic receivers vital reliably determining back-azimuth. Variation monitoring data quality may jeopardize accuracy receiver which will further affect estimation. To mitigate this issue, we proposed a new probabilistic ...
