Visual hull based 3D reconstruction of shocks in under-expanded supersonic bevelled jets by Lim, Desmond Haoxiang, New, Tze How, Mariani, Raffaello, Cui, Y. D.

“…Compared to existing techniques that can be used to reconstruct 3D shock structures, the proposed technique has the advantage of being totally non-intrusive as compared to point or particle-based measurements, requires significantly less computation than tomographic methods, offers high resolution reconstruction even with limited camera resolution and projected schlieren views, and is easy and cost effective to implement.…”

Kinematics of Active Deformation Across the Western Kunlun Mountain Range (Xinjiang, China) and Potential Seismic Hazards Within the Southern Tarim Basin by Guilbaud, Christelle, Simoes, Martine, Barrier, Laurie, Laborde, Amandine, Van der Woerd, Jérôme, Li, Haibing, Tapponnier, Paul, Coudroy, Thomas, Murray, Andrew

“…To quantify the rate of active deformation and the potential for major earthquakes in this region, we combine a structural and quantitative morphological analysis of the Yecheng–Pishan fold, along the topographic mountain front in the epicentral area. Using a seismic profile, we derive a structural cross section in which we identify the fault that broke during the Pishan earthquake, an 8–12 km deep blind ramp beneath the Yecheng–Pishan fold. …”

Complexities of the San Andreas fault near San Gorgonio Pass : implications for large earthquakes by Yule, Doug, Sieh, Kerry

“…(U/Th)/He thermochronometry supports our interpretation that this south-under-north thickening of the crust has created the region's 3 km of topographic relief. We conclude that future large earthquakes generated along the San Andreas fault in this region will have a multiplicity of mostly specifiable sources having dimensions of 1–20 km. …”

Adjoint-state differential arrival time tomography by Tong, Ping, Li, Tianjue, Chen, Jing, Nagaso,Masaru

“…Instead, it utilizes the eikonal equation to depict the minimal traveltime field from an earthquake location to any position in the computational domain. The process of tomographic inversion is formulated as an optimization problem with the goal of minimizing the difference between observed and theoretical first arrival times, which is subsequently solved using the efficient adjoint method. …”

Analysis and modelling of urban sprawl process and its spatiotemporal patterns in tripoli metropolitan area, Libya by Abdulhadi, Abubakr Albashir

“…Several data were used to conduct spatial analysis, modeling, and predictions for urban expansion such as Land-Sat image 1984, Land-Sat image 1996, Spot 5 image 2002, Spot 5 image 2010,road networks, population data, digital contour map, and topographic map. The general aim of this research is to spatiotemporally analyze, assess, and simulate the urban sprawl of Tripoli metropolis by using remotely sensed data through geographic information systems GIS. …”

Percy Manning’s archaeological survey of Oxfordshire by Roberts, A

“…Thurlow Leeds, Esq., M.A., F.S.A.’.1 The article consisted of a concise topographically organized index of archaeological finds from the county together with a short introduction that stated (p. 227) that the work ‘is almost entirely based on the material in the Manning Collections and stands therefore as a monument to one whose knowledge of Oxfordshire’s past has had few rivals’. …”

Two-step temperature deposited FePt bilayer for tunable magnetic properties by Dutta, Tanmay, Kundu, Shreya, Saifullah, M. S. M., Yang, Hyunsoo, Piramanayagam, Seidikkurippu Nellainayagam, Bhatia, C. S.

“…This resulted in tunable magnetic and improved topographical properties, and was due to the interplay of a number of temperature-dependent factors such as epitaxial growth, new grain nucleation, surface mobility, and difference in the thermal expansion coefficients. …”

Crosslinker energy landscape effects on dynamic mechanical properties of ideal polymer hydrogels by Khare, Eesha, de Alcântara, Amadeus C. S., Lee, Nic, Skaf, Munir S., Buehler, Markus J.

“…We report that, for an ideal network, the energy potential of the crosslinker interaction drives the viscosity of the network, where a stronger potential results in a higher viscosity. Additional topographical analyses reveal a mechanistic understanding of the structural rearrangement of the network as it deforms and indicate that as the number of defects increases in the network, the viscosity of the network increases. …”
