refractor ambiguities are big problem in seismic refraction method especially in seismic engineering. there can be hidden subsurface geological phenomena such as hidden faults and shear zones which are not simply predicted by the travel-time graph or some geophysical methods. head wave amplitudes are used to show the resolution of refractor ambiguities and the existence of anisotropy in complex...

The present investigation deals with the propagation of waves in a micropolar transversely isotropic layer. Secular equations for symmetric and skew-symmetric modes of wave propagation in completely separate terms are derived. The amplitudes of displacements and microrotation were also obtained. Finally, the numerical solution was carried out for aluminium epoxy material and the dispersion curv...

Head-on collision and overtaking collision between a KdV solitary wave and an envelope solitary wave are first studied in present paper by using Particle-in-cell (PIC) method in a dusty plasma. There are phase shifts of the KdV solitary wave in both head-on collision and the overtaking collision, while no phase shift is found for the envelop solitary wave in any cases. The remarkable difference...

footdrop is a relatively common deficit among the neurological disorders, which has different causes with various levels of involvement in neuromuscular system, including central nervous system (brain cortex, spinal cord), fifth lumbar root, peripheral nerves and muscles. peroneal nerve injury at the fibular head has been reported to the most common cause of foot drop, which can be due to infar...

Phase-averaged organized oscillation velocities (U,V,W) and random fluctuation Reynolds stresses ( uw , uv , ww , vv , uu ) are presented for the nominal wake of a surface ship advancing in regular head (incident) waves, but restrained from body motions, i.e., the forward-speed diffraction problem. A 3 × 3 × 100 m towing tank, plunger wave maker, and towed, 2D particle-image velocimetry (PIV) a...

PURPOSE To investigate whether there is a significant correlation between the photopic negative response (PhNR) of the electroretinogram (ERG) and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and optic disc topography in glaucomatous eyes. METHODS Ninety-nine eyes of 53 patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and 30 eyes of 28 normal volunteers were studied. Photopic ERGs were elicited by red stimuli ...

The amplitudes of P and S head waves in a full waveform acoustic log microseismogram are studied numerically as a function of borehole and formation parameters. The technique used is contour integration around the respective branch cuts in the complex wavenumber plane (Tsang and Rader. 1979). The results showed that the P wave amplitUde depends on the Poisson's ratio, but the S wave amplitude d...
