Relict Back‐Arc Basin Crustal Structure in the Western Greater Caucasus, Georgia by Dylan A. Vasey, Eric Cowgill, Jill A. VanTongeren, Catherine O. Anderson

“…Abstract Back‐arc basins frequently form within subduction zones, creating sources of lithospheric weakness that can accommodate subsequent compressional deformation. The crustal structure of these basins, including whether they contain extended preexisting crust and/or new crust formed by seafloor spreading, can thus exert a major influence on strain partitioning in orogenic belts. …”

Improvement of urban passenger ground transport structure based on coordinated development of subsystems by D. A. Dryuchin

“…Theoretical provisions reflecting a conceptual approach to ensuring the efficiency of urban transport systems based on the coordinated development of subsystems, based on the magnitude of the proposed integrated efficiency indicator, are presented. Based on the data obtained from the results of analytical studies and field experiments, a calculation was made that made it possible to determine the structural parameters of the subsystems of the urban passenger transport system of one of the cities, ensuring the maximum value of the efficiency of transport activities provided by structural coordination of the subsystems that make up the material basis of the urban passenger transport system.Discussion. …”
