Fold-and-thrust belts have a high variability of structural styles, whose investigation provides continuous updates the predictive models that try to better approximate geometries recognized in field. The majority studies are focused on geometry and development folds thrust surfaces amount displacement, taking into account role played by involved stratigraphic succession assumed as layer cake. ...

During the initial phase of space trajectory planning and optimization, it is common to have to solve large dimensional global optimization problems. In particular continuous low-thrust propulsion is computationally very intensive to obtain optimal solutions. In this work, we investigate the application of machine learning regressors to estimate the final spacecraft mass mf after an optimal low...

the zagros fold-and-thrust belt is tectonically active and often has active faults with insensible and slow motions. determining the rate of movement and displacement in these faults requires very precise measurements. one of the measurement methods of fault movements is using geodetic and micro-geodetic studies. this research is focused on one of the active faults in the north of shiraz city, ...

Abstract The foraminiferal contents of the lower–middle Miocene succession exposed in three sections north Nur Abad on northwestern side High Zagros Thrust Belt were studied. Assemblages larger foraminifera from these can be referred to Zone SBZ 25 (and Miogypsina globulus and intermedia subzones), which correlates with Burdigalian Stage. For first time, planktonic documented area document Lang...
