Geological and structural mappings of Tayyib Al-Ism area were carried out using the rocks finite strain data, the Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) data and the field based observations. To analyze the finite strain in the studied rocks, the R_f /? and Fry methods are applied to feldspar porphyroclasts and mafic grains from nine metavolcano-sedimentary samples (Hegaf Formation), four diorite-gabbros suite samples (Sawawin Complex), two meta-granite samples (Ifal suite) and five Zuhd alkali granite samples. The obtained data indicate traces of high to moderate level of deformation in the meta-granite and metavolcano-sedimentary rocks. The axial ratios along the XZ section range from 1.70 to 4.80 for the R_f/? method and from 1.50 to 4.50 for the Fry method. A sub-vertical trend of short axes in association with sub-horizontal foliation is also observed. These informations allow us to conclude that a finite strain in the deformed granitic rocks is of the same order of magnitude as in the metavolcano-sedimentary rocks. The contacts between the metavolcano-sedimentary and granitic rocks in Tayyib al Ism area were formed during the granitic intrusions along some of the faults under brittle to semi-ductile deformation conditions. These faults have significantly influenced the geometry and style of rifting in the Red Sea during the Neogene. The finite strain was accumulated in the area during the process of deformation, which superimpose the already existed nappe structure. It indicates that the nappe contacts formed during the accumulation of finite strain. In addition to finite strain analysis, band ratio images (3/1, 5/3, 7/5) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique have been used, which proved effective in mapping geological and structural features of various rock bodies exposed in the study area.  相似文献   

Measurement of seasonal variability of hydro-environmental characteristics of Kuwait Bay     

Tanuspong Pokavanich  Yousef Alosairi 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2016,9(16):671

To fill in the large existing data gap, this study presents results of a comprehensive data set from Kuwait Bay (KB), showing the horizontal and vertical distribution of its prominent hydrodynamic variables (i.e., water temperature, seawater salinity, seawater density) and water quality variables (i.e., chlorophyll-a concentration, turbidity, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, DO saturation, apparent oxygen utilization, photosynthetic active radiation). Field measurements were carried out between 11 September 2014 and 17 August 2015 covering number of monitoring stations in the entire bay. The results revealed significant seasonal variations and apparent three-dimensional features of the measured variables exemplifying the necessity of not considering the bay as a well-mixed water body in the future oceanographic studies anytime of the year. However, well-mixed conditions (with the Brunt-Vaisala frequency of about 0.0002 s^?1) were existent only in the winter. Bay’s water column began stratifying in late spring, and these were significantly intensified (with the Brunt-Vaisala frequency of about 0.0008 s^?1) during the summer and early autumn. The stratification, together with the increase oxygen demand for decomposition processes and decrease in DO solubility in summer, led to the formation of a lower DO water mass (daytime DO concentration <4.2 mg l^?1) at the lower layers. Results also suggested that the water of the KB is more transparent (indicated by lower turbidity) compared to the adjacent sea water. Measurement of light intensity along the water column indicated that the light extincts rapidly (i.e., the light reduced to approximately 10 % of the surface values at water depth of 2–6 m) in KB and many times absent at the water near the seabed. This study also suggested that the KB can be classified at a year-round negative, hypersaline, inverse, and hyperpycnal estuary.  相似文献

A ground motion prediction equation for JMA instrumental seismic intensity for shallow crustal earthquakes in active tectonic regimes     

Kenneth W. Campbell  Yousef Bozorgnia 《地震工程与结构动力学》2011,40(4):413-427

The JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency) seismic intensity scale has been used in Japan as a measure of earthquake ground shaking effects since 1949. It has traditionally been assessed after an earthquake based on the judgment of JMA officials. In 1996 the scale was revised as an instrumental seismic intensity measure (I_JMA) that could be used to rapidly assess the expected damage after an earthquake without having to conduct a survey. Since its revision, Japanese researchers have developed several ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for I_JMA using Japanese ground motion data. In this paper, we develop a new empirical GMPE for I_JMA based on the strong motion database and functional forms used to develop similar GMPEs for peak response parameters as part of the PEER (Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center) Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) project. We consider this relationship to be valid for shallow crustal earthquakes in active tectonic regimes for moment magnitudes ( M ) ranging from 5.0 up to 7.5–8.5 (depending on fault mechanism) and rupture distances ranging from 0 to 200 km. A comparison of this GMPE with relationships developed by Japanese researchers for crustal and shallow subduction earthquakes shows relatively good agreement among all of the relationships at M 7.0 but relatively poor agreement at small magnitudes. Our GMPE predicts the highest intensities at small magnitudes, which together with research on other ground motion parameters, indicates that it provides conservative or upwardly biased estimates of I_JMA for M <5.5.

Fuzzy analytical hierarchy process and GIS for predictive Cu porphyry potential mapping: a case study in Ahar–Arasbaran Zone (NW, Iran)     

Kaveh Pazand  Ardeshir Hezarkhani  Yousef Ghanbari 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2014,7(1):241-251

Selection of potential areas for mineral exploration is a complex process and needs many diverse criteria. Combining analytic hierarchy process (AHP) modeling with geographic information system (GIS) provides an effective means for studies of mineral potential mapping evaluation. Fuzzy AHP is an extension of conventional AHP and by using fuzzy theory is obtained the advantage rather AHP method. In this paper to provide, potential mapping for Cu porphyry mineralization used fuzzy AHP and GIS in the Ahar–Arasbaran areas, several criteria, such as geology, geochemical and geophysical data, alteration, and faults were used. Each criterion was evaluated with the aid of fuzzy AHP and mapped by GIS. The method allowed a mixture of quantitative and qualitative information with group decision. The results and its validation demonstrate the acceptable outcomes for copper porphyry exploration.  相似文献

Conditionally-periodic solutions of the Hamiltonian systems with multiple resonance     

M. K. M. Ahmed  M. H. A. Yousef 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1988,43(3):289-298

A method is developed to construct conditionally periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems in the case of deep resonance and in the presence of more than one resonant vector (multiple resonance). The method depends on modification of a standard perturbation method. It is applicable to systems with more than one degree of freedom.  相似文献   

Parameter estimation of copula functions using an optimization-based method     

Amin?AbdiEmail author  Yousef?Hassanzadeh  Siamak?Talatahari  Ahmad?Fakheri-Fard  Rasoul?Mirabbasi 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》2017,129(1-2):21-32

Application of the copulas can be useful for the accurate multivariate frequency analysis of hydrological phenomena. There are many copula functions and some methods were proposed for estimating the copula parameters. Since the copula functions are mathematically complicated, estimating of the copula parameter is an effortful work. In the present study, an optimization-based method (OBM) is proposed to obtain the parameters of copulas. The usefulness of the proposed method is illustrated on drought events. For this purpose, three commonly used copulas of Archimedean family, namely, Clayton, Frank, and Gumbel copulas are used to construct the joint probability distribution of drought characteristics of 60 gauging sites located in East-Azarbaijan province, Iran. The performance of OBM was compared with two conventional methods, namely, method of moments and inference function for margins. The results illustrate the supremacy of the OBM to estimate the copula parameters compared to the other considered methods.  相似文献
