3-D numerical model of the flexural isostatic response to extension induced by crustal scale listric normal faulting
Juan García Abdeslem
Geofísica internacional , 2003,
Abstract: The flexural isostatic response of the lithosphere, induced by listric normal faulting, is modeled by assuming that simple-shear extension takes place in the brittle upper crust while the lower crust and upper mantle extend in pure shear. The partial differential equation describing the equilibrium state under the action of applied loads provides simple analytical expressions for computing the flexural isostatic response 3-D. An example using an analytically defined curvilinear normal fault is provided.

Abstract: we study the paranaguá graben, which is part of the cenozoic rift system of southeastern brazil. specifically, it is considered a gravimetric-magnetic model of the top of the precambrian basement under the cenozoic sediments of the paraná state coastal plain. we aim to identify the main structures of the paranaguá graben. we also evaluate the thickness of the sedimentary section and the mesozoic basic intrusions in the basement. we use a regional geophysical survey that extends for more than 55 km of gravimetric profiles with 500 m of spacing between the stations and about 45 km of magnetic profiles with spacing of 25 m. the geophysical profiles were located between paranaguá bay and the saí-gua？ú river outlet, both in the context of the central region of the ponta grossa arch (pga). data were collected along ne-sw acquisition lines, perpendicularly to the principal trend of the pga. we present a 2-d geologic model using on gravity and magnetic data. we incorporate prior knowledge about the basement depth provided by boreholes. the identification of gravity high was related to a basement uplifting (canoas structural high). contiguous gravity lows had been interpreted as structural lows and called albatroz and shangri-lá, whose maximum thickness of the sediments is 130 m. the magnetic model allowed to estimate the thicknesses of the basic dykes and to calculate an average crustal extension of 27% related to 45 km of the magnetic profiles.
AN EXTENSION AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE CLOUDSIM SIMULATOR
Ghalem Belalem,Said Limam
International Journal of Digital Information and Wireless Communications , 2011,
Abstract: Cloud computing has become a signi cant technology trend. With the cloud computing technology, users use a variety of devices to access programs, storage, and application- development platforms over the Internet, via services offered by cloud computing providers. Advantages of the cloud computing technology include cost savings and high availability. Access to the infrastructure in Cloud Computing incurs payments. To design and develop Cloud technologies focus on defining novel methods, policies and mechanisms for efficiently managing Cloud infrastructures. To test these newly developed methods and policies, researchers need tools that allow them to evaluate the hypothesis prior to real deployment in an environment where one can reproduce tests free of cost. Simulation- based approaches offer significant benefits. CloudSim enables seamless modeling, simulation, and experimentation of emerging Cloud computing infrastructures and application services. In the CloudSim simulator there are two problems: Lack of links between Datacenters and no possibility to create a virtual machine (VM) in more Datacenters. In this paper we propose a ring topology to allow the exchange and the sharing of information and services between different Datacenter, and we improve the method of creating VMs to allow the creation of VMs in several Datacenter, which improves fault tolerance in this type of environment.
Ages and geochemistry of Mesozoic-Eocene back-arc volcanic rocks in the Aysén region of the Patagonian Andes, Chile
Parada,Miguel A.; Lahsen,Alfredo; Palacios,Carlos;
Revista geológica de Chile , 2001, DOI: 10.4067/S0716-02082001000100002
Abstract: eighteen new radiometric ages (fourteen 40ar-39ar, four k-ar), combined with previously published ages, confirm the existence of three main extensional back-arc volcanic events, previously defined by stratigraphic relationships, in chilean patagonia (aysén region). these three events developed during the middle jurassic -early cretaceous (160-130 ma). cretaceous (114-75 ma), and eocene (55-46 ma). based on distinct geochemical data and sr-nd isotopic characteristics of the back-arc volcanic rocks collected north and south of 46°30's, two mesozoic-eocene magmatic domains are recognized: northern magmatic domain (nmd) and southern magmatic domain (smd). most analyzed basalts and intermediate volcanic rocks of the nmd have alkaline affinities and depleted to slightly depleted sr-nd isotopic values similar to those derived from an asthenosphere-dominated source. the smd mafic volcanic rocks have a subalkaline character and more enriched sr-nd isotopic signatures, comparable to those derived from a lithospheric source. the felsic volcanic rocks of the smd have lower end values and slightly higher initial 87sr/86sr ratios than the nmd felsic rocks, suggesting a larger crustal contribution in the magma sources. the geochemical and isotopic distinction between nmd and smd felsic rocks could be influenced by the presence of paleozoic metamorphic rocks as basement of the volcanic rocks of the smd. moreover, the compositional distinction between basalts of both domains may correspond to differences in magnitude of extension, the nmd being the one where the extension would have been greater and, consequently, the lithosphere thinner

Journal of Service Science and Management (JSSM) , 2014, DOI: 10.4236/jssm.2014.72006
Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine the perception of farmers on extension services of ADP in Kano state of Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was used, in which three local governments were randomly selected. Secondly, three wards (divisions under local government) from the selected local governments (Danbatta, Gaya and Madobi) were randomly selected. Thirdly, three villages (one from each ward) were selected. The total number of sample respondent was 120, i.e. 40 farming households from each village. The data collected were analyzed with SPSS using descriptive statistics, and Likert scale. The results revealed that, farmers of 35 years of age and below have the highest percentage and 105 out of 120 farmers interviewed were found to be literate. The farmers ranked radio as first extension methods, followed by farm and home visit. Finally, to satisfy their need, farmers should be involved in planning and implementation of extension service.

Creative Education (CE) , 2015, DOI: 10.4236/ce.2015.617193
Abstract: This study was developed at Universidade do Planalto Catarinense—UNIPLAC, an university established since 1954, located in the city of Lages State of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. The city of Lages has approximately 160,000 inhabitants. In 1997, the Planalto Catarinense University (UNIPLAC) created the Scientific Exhibition (Mostra Científica), intended to disclose scientific works brought about by their faculty, researchers and students. The goal is to identify UNIPLAC’s scientific output from 1997 to 2012 in the Scientific Exhibition. A survey of existing reports on the exhibition was executed. 3237 scientific works have been published since the creation of the event in 1997 until 2012. Initially, the Scientific Exhibition was intended for the presentation of degree requirement works and was extended to works of research and extension developed within UNIPLAC and other institutions. There was a considerable increase in the number of works presented along the years of Scientific Exhibition, and therefore there was also a greater integration between the university and the community. The exhibition motivates students to submit their ideas, writings and findings. The young scholar shows greater motivation towards his studies. Academic exchange operates in several ways: between teachers and students of an institution and towards colleagues from other institutions. The scientific and technological advancements of a nation depend on the quality of its researchers, on the awareness of its science and the interaction between industry and science.

Abstract: Considering the widespread disease transmission among butchers/meat inspectors and a possible risk of exposure to diseases due to the attitude of some butchers and nature of meat inspector’s jobs. Ignorance and lack of awareness of such dangers has also been identified to be responsible for some of the problems encountered in most instances as well as the presence of some predisposing factors for diseases. In view of the above, this model is developed as a means of demonstrating the use of the abattoir and other registered related slaughter premises in the provision of the physical facility, where the primary role of extension personnel to develop the capacity and capability of target groups in the abattoir and livestock producing community, in order to enhance animal/zoonotic disease surveillance and control. The model if adopted and fully utilized will create awareness among target groups of dangers of disease transmission and ways of curtailing such problems, government through their agencies, professionals and private organizations should be involved in the implementation of this model in order to achieve the desired response.
