Anderson's fault theory also presents a model for seismic interpretation. [7] This model predicts the dip of faults according to their regime classification. [2] Conjugate walls in any fault will share a dip angle with that angle being measured from the top of the hanging wall or the bottom of the foot wall. [2]
Based on the direction of slip, faults can be categorized as: strike-slip, where the offset is predominantly horizontal, parallel to the fault trace; dip-slip, offset is predominantly vertical and/or perpendicular to the fault trace; or; oblique-slip, combining strike-slip and dip-slip.
The long development of the ACT-R theory gave birth to a certain number of parallel and related projects. The most important ones are the PUPS production system, an initial implementation of Anderson's theory, later abandoned; and ACT-RN, [7] a neural network implementation of the theory developed by Christian Lebiere.
Water chemistry analysis is often the groundwork of studies of water quality, pollution, hydrology and geothermal waters. Analytical methods routinely used can detect and measure all the natural elements and their inorganic compounds and a very wide range of organic chemical species using methods such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry .
The source and sink composite curves is a graphical tool for setting water recovery targets as well as for design of water recovery networks. [5] A 2018 study found by water pinch and water footprint analysis that for bricks with typical materials of clay and shale, the water consumption footprint was 2.02 L of water per brick. [6]
From the kinetic results, the rate of water uptake and water diffusion coefficients can be determined. The equilibrium mass values at the end of each humidity step were used to calculate the sorption and desorption isotherms (Figure 1b). The difference in water vapor uptake between the sorption and desorption isotherms is called the hysteresis ...
Anderson was elected as a member into the National Academy of Engineering in 2006 for leadership in the development of groundwater-flow models. [2] Anderson also served as president of the Hydrology Section of the American Geophysical Union from 1996 until 1998, and was the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Groundwater from 2002 until 2005. [1]
In condensed matter physics, Anderson localization (also known as strong localization) [1] is the absence of diffusion of waves in a disordered medium. This phenomenon is named after the American physicist P. W. Anderson, who was the first to suggest that electron localization is possible in a lattice potential, provided that the degree of randomness (disorder) in the lattice is sufficiently ...
