Long-period surface waves recorded on the north-south Pasadena strainmeter are used to determine the seismic moments and fault parameters of the 19 May 1940 Imperial Valley, California, the 16 December 1954 Dixie Valley and Fairview Peak, Nevada, and the 18 August 1959 Hebgen Lake, Montana, earthquakes. Synthetic strain seismograms are matched with the observed strainmeter seismograms. Source p...

Normal mode solutions for • spherical earth model are superposed to obtain realistic synthetic surface waves for various force systems. The calculation of excitation functions is greatly facilitated by the variational technique. The effects of attenuation anal instrument response are included in the synthesis. The synthesized seismograms are compared with the actual seismograms for wave form, a...

Detecting temporal changes of the medium associated with major earthquakes has implications for understanding earthquake genesis. Here we report temporal changes of surface wave velocity over a large area associated with 3 major Sumatra earthquakes in 2004, 2005, and 2007. We use ambient noise correlation to retrieve empirical Green's function (EGF) of surface waves between stations. Because th...

Viewing desperate love as marked by urgency, neediness, dependence, a great need for reciprocation, indealization, and affective extremes, personality traits leading to desperate love were examined. A sample of 251 undergraduates, in desperate love, nondesperate love, and random groups, completed several questionnaires examining characteristic qualities of self and important others and attitude...

through a mystical glance, jami looks, understands and explains the universe. in such an interpretation, love is the most determining concept. love, in this view, isn’t just an emotional relation between two humans- though it is too- but is a widespread and pervasive category that helps you to find creation stimulus and interrelations in different universal phenomenon. what stimulate god to cre...

“layla wa madjnun” is one of the most prominence of lyric stories that is in it’s structure‚ content and motifs similar with “orwe wa afrae” story. both of them are an appearance from ozri love. therefore this loving stories are fitting for comparison. writers in this article intend to compaire‚descrip and analysis in this two stories; and show the most important features of ozri love. writers ...

A model for the mass sensitivity of Love wave and layer guided shear horizontal acoustic plate mode ~SH–APM! sensors is developed by considering the propagation of shear horizontally polarized acoustic waves in a three layer system. A dispersion equation is derived for this three layer system and this is shown to contain the dispersion equation for the two layer system of the substrate and the ...

The effect of dispersion on acoustic wave sensors is considered. The discussion is focused upon layer guided surface acoustic waves ~Love waves!, which obtain their high mass sensitivity for the first Love wave mode by optimizing the guiding layer thickness, d, such that d;l l/4; the wavelength in the layer is given by l l5 f /v l where f is the operating frequency and v l is the shear acoustic...

The lateral heterogeneity and apparent anisotropy of the upper mantle are studied by measuring Rayleigh and Love wave phase velocities in the period range 100-250 s. Spherical harmonic descriptions of the lateral heterogeneity are obtained for order and degree up to 1 = m = 10. Slow regions are evident at the East Pacific Rise, northeast Africa, Tibet, Tasman Sea, southwestern North America, an...
