Determining the relationship between crustal movement and faulting in thrust belts is essential for understanding the growth of geological structures and addressing the proposed models of a potential earthquake hazard. A Mw 5.9 earthquake occurred on 21 January 2016 in Menyuan, NE Qinghai Tibetan plateau. We combined satellite interferometry from Sentinel-1A Terrain Observation with Progressive...

because of its kinetic nature and computational advantages, the lattice boltzmann method (lbm) has been well accepted as a useful tool to simulate micro-scale flows. the slip boundary model plays a crucial role in the accuracy of solutions for micro-channel flow simulations. the most used slip boundary condition is the maxwell slip model. the results of maxwell slip model are affected by the ac...

This paper offers a simple macroscopic approach to the question of the slip boundary condition to be imposed upon the tangential component of the fluid velocity at a solid boundary. Plausible reasons are advanced for believing that it is the energy equation rather than the momentum equation that determines the correct fluid-mechanical boundary condition. The scheme resulting therefrom furnishes...

The climbing fibers (CFs) that project from the dorsal cap of the inferior olive (IO) to the flocculus of the cerebellar cortex have been reported to be purely sensory, encoding "retinal slip." However, a clear oculomotor projection from the nucleus prepositus hypoglossi (NPH) to the IO has been shown. We therefore studied the sensorimotor information that is present in the CF signal. We presen...

In this paper the factor of safety (FS) and critical line-segments slip surface obtained by the Alternating Variable Local Gradient (AVLG) optimization method was presented as a new topic in 2D. Results revealed that the percentage of reduction in the FS obtained by switching from a circular shape to line segments was higher with the AVLG method than other methods. The 2D-AVLG optimization meth...

Abstract Coastal uplift is a common feature of Pacific Rim tectonic deformation. The 1989 Mw 7.0 Loma Prieta earthquake illustrated that reverse-oblique slip on transpressive segment the predominantly horizontal San Andreas transform fault produces coastal uplift. In west-central California 400 km long Gregorio-Hosgri system near-vertical to steeply northeast-dipping, reverse-oblique, dextral s...
