A D-optimal Multi-position Calibration Method for Dynamically Tuned Gyroscopes
Abstract This paper presents a novel experimental design to greatly improve the calibration accuracy of the acceleration-insensitive bias and the acceleration-sensitive bias of the dynamically tuned gyroscopes (DTGs). In order to reduce experimental ...

Simulations of a vertical axis turbine in a channel
Abstract The power coefficient of a turbine increases according to the predictions from streamtube theory for sites with a confined fluid flow. Here, a vertical axis turbine (optimized for free flow) has been simulated by a two-dimensional vortex...

Mechanism for three types of mafic dyke swarms
Abstract This study proposes three models to explain the mechanism of the three major types of mafic dyke swarms. Parallel dyke swarms form in response to a regional stress field, e.g. the mafic dyke swarms in the North China Craton, whereas small...

Toward real-time regional earthquake simulation II: Real-time Online earthquake Simulation (ROS) of Taiwan earthquakes
Abstract We developed a Real-time Online earthquake Simulation system (ROS) to simulate regional earthquakes in Taiwan. The ROS uses a centroid moment tensor solution of seismic events from a Real-time Moment Tensor monitoring system (RMT), which...

Experiments on a Parallel Nonlinear Jacobi–Davidson Algorithm
Abstract The Jacobi–Davidson (JD) algorithm is very well suited for the computation of a few eigen-pairs of large sparse complex symmetric nonlinear eigenvalue problems. The performance of JD crucially depends on the treatment of the so-called...

Ordering Interfluves: A Simple Proposal for Understanding Critical Zone Evolution
Abstract The Earth's critical zone (CZ) is the integrated life-supportive system between the atmosphere and the deepest bio-geoweathering front of geologic materials1. When human beings are added to the natural workings of the critical zone, great...

Benchmarking and developing numerical Finite Element models of volcanic deformation
Abstract Volcanic deformation during an unrest episode can provide valuable insights into potential magmatic plumbing system dynamics. Paramount to this is a model linking the recorded ground movement to the causative source at depth. Most models...

Chronology of Quaternary coastal aeolianite deposition and the drowned shorelines of southwestern Western Australia – a reappraisal
Abstract Aeolianite successions of low-gradient continental margins commonly show complex records of coastal dune deposition linked to a wide range of sea-level positions and climatic periods of the middle and late Pleistocene, recording both...
