Soft-Sediment Deformation Structures Interpreted as Seismites in the Kolankaya Formation, Denizli Basin (SW Turkey) by Savaş Topal, Mehmet Özkul

“…The deformation mechanism and driving force for the soft-sediment deformation are related essentially to gravitational instability, dewatering, liquefaction-liquidization, and brittle deformation. Field data and the wide lateral extent of the structures as well as regional geological data show that most of the deformation is related to seismicity and the structures are interpreted as seismites. …”

GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MAFIC ROCKS IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE YENISEI-KHATANGA TROUGH AND THEIR BELONGING TO THE SIBERIAN TRAP PROVINCE by O. P. Polyansky, Yu. F. Filippov, A. Y. Selyatitskii, P. O. Polyansky

“…The geochemical characteristics of mafic rocks, presenting in the sedimentary complexes of the YKT, correspond to three types of mafic rocks allocated to the Siberian LIP: Nadezhdinsky (low Ti), Morongovsky (low Ti), and, in limited quantities, Ivakinsky (rift-related high Ti). Based on the seismic data, there was constructed a deep structural-tectonic cross-sectional model, and there was considered the position of mafic intrusions in the sedimentary section in the western junction zone of the Siberian Platform and the Kara (Taimyr-Severozemelsky) orogen. …”

Genomic patterns of strain-specific genetic structure, linkage, and selection across fall armyworm populations by Ashley E. Tessnow, Rodney N. Nagoshi, Robert L. Meagher, Todd M. Gilligan, Ben M. Sadd, Yves Carrière, Holly N. Davis, Shelby J. Fleischer, Kelly Richers, John C. Palumbo, Patrick Porter, Jose Carlos Verle Rodrigues, Gregory A. Sword

“…We also show that a region of the Z-chromosome containing a circadian clock gene implicated in allochronic reproductive isolation is under strain-specific selection. Our data indicates that strains differ in their geographic distributions and exhibit distinct patterns of geographic sub-structuring indicative of unique dispersal patterns. …”

The impact of environmental conditions of Persian Gulf on the probability of chloride corrosion initiation in reinforced concrete structures by Hossein Rahami, shahram abedini, S. M. Mirhosseini Hezaveh, Mohammad GhanooniBagha, Ehsanollah Zeighami

“…According to the technical literature, the amount of chloride that is transported by air from the sea surface depends on the amount of salt in the seawater in that area, the speed and direction of the wind, and the distance from the sea. Accordingly, data on the highest annual wind speed and direction of the wind are collected in several reinforced concrete structures (RC structures) in southern cities near the Persian Gulf at different distances from the sea. …”

Damage identification based on the inner product matrix and parallel convolution neural network for frame structure by Yingying He, Ji Feng, Baogang Sun, Feixue Wang, Likai Zhang, Jidi Jiang

“…To overcome this limitation, this study proposes a novel approach that combines an inner product matrix (IPM) with a parallel CNN (IPM-PCNN) to extract multidimensional features for detecting structural damage in a steel frame structure. The proposed IPM-PCNN framework consists of a one-dimensional (1D) CNN branch for processing time series data, a two-dimensional (2D) CNN branch for handling structural modal data, and several fully connected layers. …”
