the problem of propagation of plane wave including body and surface waves propagating in a transversely isotropic half-space with a depth-wise axis of material symmetry is investigated in details. using the advantage of representation of displacement fields in terms of two complete scalar potential functions, the coupled equations of motion are uncoupled and reduced to two independent equations...

To determine the normal values of P wave duration and P dispersion (Pd=maximum P wave duration-minimum P wave duration) in healthy children, electrocardiograms of 232 healthy children (143 boys, 89 girls, aged 7 to 15 years) were examined. There was no significant gender difference in maximum P wave duration (103+/-9.5 msec vs 102+/-8.4 msec, p=0.23) or P dispersion (27.2+/-5.3 msec vs 26.8+/-6...

Gas hydrate model and free gas model are established, and two-phase theory (TPT) for numerical simulation of elastic wave velocity is adopted to investigate the unconsolidated deep-water sedimentary strata in Shenhu area, South China Sea. The relationships between compression wave (P wave) velocity and gas hydrate saturation, free gas saturation, and sediment porosity at site SH2 are studied, r...

We investigate a mixture of ultracold fermionic K40 atoms and weakly bound Li6K40 dimers on the repulsive side of a heteronuclear atomic Feshbach resonance. By radio-frequency spectroscopy we demonstrate that the normally repulsive atom-dimer interaction is turned into a strong attraction. The phenomenon can be understood as a three-body effect in which two heavy K40 fermions exchange the light...

Relative travel time delays of teleseismic P and S waves, recorded during the Mantle Electromagnetic and Tomography (MELT) Experiment, have been inverted tomographically for upper-mantle structure beneath the southern East Pacific Rise. A broad zone of low seismic velocities extends beneath the rise to depths of about 200 kilometers and is centered to the west of the spreading center. The magni...

The purpose of this Letter is to examine briefly the consequences of a certain class of four-wave mixing. This mixing involves two intense pun-p waves E1 and EB of the same frequency w traveling in opposite directions and two "weak" waves E 3 and E4 of the same frequency w, which aiso travel in opposition to each other but along a direction different from that of E1 and E2 . The geometry is ill...

We demonstrate tuning of interactions between fermionic 40K and bosonic 87Rb atoms by Feshbach resonances and access the complete phase diagram of the harmonically trapped mixture from phase separation to collapse. On the attractive side of the resonance, we observe a strongly enhanced mean-field energy of the condensate due to the mutual mean-field confinement, predicted by a Thomas-Fermi mode...
