We have inverted magneto telluric (MT) data collected in nine states of the northwestern United States as a part of the EarthScope project for 3D imaging of electrical resistivity to a depth of 500 km using recent advances in extremely largescale electromagnetic modeling and inversion. The results of our mega-cell 3D inversion reveal multi-scale geo electrical in homogeneities in the upper mant...

Graphene has long been envisioned as a promising material in areas, such energy storage, electromagnetic shielding, and electrochemical sensor. However, the fabrication of graphene is complicated, time-consuming, hazardous to environment, thus can hardly realize industrialization. Although exfoliation graphite through method was believed an efficient green approach, intense current non-protecti...

The initiation and evolution of seismic activity in intraplate regions are controlled by heterogeneous stress highly fractured rocks within the rock mass triggered fluid migration. In this study, we imaged electrical structure crust beneath Ganzi fault using a three-dimensional magnetotelluric inversion technique, which is host to an assemblage resistive conductive features extending into lower...

The three-dimensional distribution of fluids and melts under the NE Japan arc was imaged using its resistivity structure, modeled with geomagnetic transfer functions. The data were collected at 37 stations located on a 20-km grid, at periods ranging from 16 to 256 s. In spite of the narrow period band nature, these periods turn out to be sensitive to conductors in the deep crust and upper mantl...

among the intermolecular interactions, the casimir and van der waals forces are the most important forces that highly affect the behavior of nanostructures. this paper studies the effect of such forces on the adhesion of cantilever freestanding nanostructures. the nanostructures are made of a freestanding nano-beam which is suspended between two upper and lower conductive surfaces. the linear s...

[1] An active seafloor hydrothermal system subjects the background sediments of the Grimsey Graben (Tjörnes Fracture Zone) to alteration that produces dissolution of the primary volcaniclastic matrix and replacement/precipitation of sulfides, sulfates, oxides, oxyhydroxides, carbonates and phyllosilicates. Three types of hydrothermal alteration of the sediment are defined on the basis of the do...

-The chemical compositions ofchlorite-smectite mixed-layered minerals (C/S) from the Ohyu caldera (lnoue, 1985) are analyzed using M+-4Si-3R 2§ diagrams. The assumed original saponite has the following composition: Si3.54Alo.460 ~ 0Alo. ~7~Fe 2§ ~.385Mg1.z95Mn0.o2(OH)2M+o.56. Random C/S minerals ( 100 to 80% expandable layers) are interpreted as an interstratification of the starting 2:1 smecti...

Here in, an application of a new seismic inversion algorithm in one of Iran’s oilfields is described. Stochastic (geostatistical) seismic inversion, as a complementary method to deterministic inversion, is perceived as contribution combination of geostatistics and seismic inversion algorithm. This method integrates information from different data sources with different scales, as prior informat...
