Inversion of Pn traveltime residuals from a 39-station broad-band array provides a high-resolution image of the velocity structure in the uppermost mantle beneath central Turkey. Individually picked Pn phase arrivals from events recorded by the North Anatolian Fault Passive Seismic Experiment and the Kandilli Observatory were combined with additional events associated with the Eastern Turkey Seismic Experiment. Tomography results show no change in Pn velocity across the North Anatolian Fault, although longitudinal variations are evident. A region of very low Pn velocities ( 7.8 kms(-1)) is imaged east of the Central Anatolian Fault Zone (CAFZ), with a transition to faster velocities (> 8.1 kms(-1)) west of the fault. The sharp transition along the CAFZ, which follows the palaeotectonic Inner-Tauride Suture, may represent the location of the edge of the slab window, created when the oceanic slab broke off along the Bitlis-Zagros Suture around 11 Ma, as the Arabian plate collided with the Eurasian plate.

ANALYSIS OF MILLIMETER WAVE-GUIDES ON ANISOTROPIC SUBSTRATES USING THE 3-DIMENSIONAL TRANSMISSION-LINE MATRIX-METHOD BULUTAY, C; PRASAD, S (1993-06-01) Three-dimensional condensed asymmetrical node, variable grid, transmission-line matrix (TLM) method has been used in analyzing several millimeter waveguides on anisotropic substrates. The dispersion characteristics of image guides together with field and energy confinement properties at millimeter-wave frequencies have been investigated. Edge coupled microstrip line on a uniaxial substrate is analyzed for the even and odd mode dispersion characteristics. Finally the same analysis is repeated for bilateral f...
Search for diphoton events with large missing transverse energy with 36 pb(-1) of 7 TeV proton-proton collision data with the ATLAS detector Aad, G.; et. al. (2011-10-01) Making use of 36 pb(-1) of proton-proton collision data at root s = 7 TeV, the ATLAS Collaboration has performed a search for diphoton events with large missing transverse energy. Observing no excess of events above the Standard Model prediction, a 95% Confidence Level ( CL) upper limit is set on the cross section for new physics of sigma 961 GeV is set on the UED compactification radius R. These limits provide the most stringent tests of these models to date.
Search for narrow resonances in dilepton mass spectra in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV and combination with 8 TeV data Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2017-05-01) A search for narrow resonances in dielectron and dimuon invariant mass spectra has been performed using data obtained from proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector. The integrated luminosity for the dielectron sample is 2.7 fb(-1) and for the dimuon sample 2.9 fb(-1). The sensitivity of the search is increased by combining these data with a previously analyzed set of data obtained at root s = 8 TeV and corresponding to a luminosity of 20 fb(-1). No evidence for non-standar...
Detection of hidden patterns in time series data via multiple-time FOD method Erkuş, Ekin Can; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (2019-06-23) The periodicity in time series data can be detected by several frequency domains’ methods, especially, by the Fourier transform (FT). FT is a non-parametric method to convert the time domain data into the frequency domain and it is used in many engineering and data science applications. Recently this method which has been used to detect outliers in time series observations where the data may also include some systematic patterns is called “outlier detection via Fourier transform” (FOD). From our previous ...
Modeling the Brain Connectivity for Pattern Analysis Onal, Itir; Aksan, Emre; Velioglu, Burak; Firat, Orhan; Ozay, Mete; GİLLAM, İLKE; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2014-08-28) An information theoretic approach is proposed to estimate the degree of connectivity for each voxel with its neighboring voxels. The neighborhood system is defined by spatial and functional connectivity metrics. Then, a local mesh of variable size is formed around each voxel using spatial or functional neighborhood. The mesh arc weights, called Mesh Arc Descriptors (MAD), are estimated by a linear regression model fitted to the voxel intensity values of the functional Magnetic Resonance Images (fMRI). Final...
