Isotopic mapping reveals the location of crustal fragments along a long-lived convergent plate boundarySr-Nd isotopesNew GuineaContinental crustCrustal contaminationAustralian plateNew Guinea has acted as the boundary between the Australian and Pacific plates for hundreds of millions of years. Strike-slip...
1(b), we introduce two dummy nodes (denoted by D1∗ and D2∗) representing the intersections between the region boundary and the main waterway. It seems that, main lines calling at a hub port within this region would pass through these two dummy nodes. If port h is a hub port in...
In this note we study, for a random lattice L of large dimension n, the supremum of the real parts of the zeros of the Epstein zeta function En(L,s) and prove that this random variable scaled by n−1 has a limit distribution, which we give explicitly. This limit distribution is stu...
. The general circulation of the Labrador Sea consists of a boundary current that encircles the basin, with an extended region of cyclonic flow offshore [Lavender et al.,2002]. The preconditioning of the water column is aided by the accumulated buoyancy loss throughout the cool period of the...
of bends DAVID LAWRENCE HALL and AIlNDA FRIEDMAN University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada In three experiments, subjects made shape discriminations of three-dimensional objects differing in orientation, number of bends, and location of bends (e.g., the central arm vs. a minor subarm)....
The present invention relates generally to methods for determining the location of a transitional boundary or “shadowline” between an illuminated region and a dark region on a linear scanned array of photosensitive cells, such methods being particularly applicable to critical angle refractometers where...
The Hotelling game of pure location allows interpretations in spatial competition, political theory, and strategic forecasting. In this paper, the doubly symmetric mixed-strategy equilibrium for n≥4n≥4 firms is characterized as the solution of a well-behaved boundary value problem. The analysis sugg...
Cretaceous convergent deformation at the Western Province-Eastern Province boundary was a two-stage process that first localised on the eastern side of the Takaka Terrane at c. 128-115 Ma during juxtaposition with the Drumduan Terrane. Transpression may have aided terrane accretion. Syn-kinematic ...
Two parametric studies are performed to achieve convergent solutions to dynamic finite element analyses of structures on semi-infinite foundations. The first study considers a linear elastic foundation, whereas the latter is about a structure on a saturated clay foundation. Plane strain conditions are ...
We study the pointwise convergence of the collocation and qualocation methods applied to a simple class of boundary integral equations on a smooth curve, for the case of trial functions consisting of smoothest splines of odd degree. It is shown that both methods can be superconvergent at two ...
