    CHIMNEY (James Cook 152) multibeam bathymetry (MB710) data from Scanner Pockmark, North Sea

    No full text
    Multibeam bathymetry data were collected around the Scanner Pockmark in the northern North Sea, by RRS James Cook (JC152) in August-September 2017 during the CHIMNEY survey (NERC grant NE/N016130/1). The multibeam data were acquired using MB710 along the seismic profiles and processed by the JC152 Science Party. Two grids are available, a larger area (10 m grid interval), and a dense (2.5 m interval) grid provides the micro bathymetry around the Scanner and Scotia pockmarks. Two jpeg images are available to see the lateral extent of the data. Please refer to CHIMNEY NERC grant reference NE/N016130/1 and this DOI when using this data.</span

    Seismic processed data (Ocean Bottom Seismometer working area dataset, profile P400) during RRS JAMES COOK cruise JC228, Guatemala Basin, North Pacific Ocean

    No full text
    The data comprise processed active-source seismic data acquired with ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) along profle P400. The data were collected in the Guatemala Basin of the Eastern Pacific Ocean during the joint German/United Kingdom expedition JC228 of the research vessel RRS JAMES COOK in December of 2022. The data set consists of 11 OBS stations deployed at an interval of 7.5 km receiving shots of a tuned 5000 cubi-inch airgun array, fired at an interval of 75 m, along a 90 km long profile. Each OBS consists of 4 channels (channel 1: hydrophone; channel 2: horizontal component 1; channel 3: horizontal component 2; channel 4: vertical component)

    Controls on spatial and temporal evolution of prism faulting and relationships to plate boundary slip offshore north-central Sumatra

    No full text
    Across- and along-strike variations in the morphology and structure of the north-central Sumatran forearc (~1.5°S to 1°N) are broadly coincident with subducting plate topography and an earthquake segment boundary zone below the Batu Islands. We present a detailed interpretation of multichannel streamer seismic reflection data collected offshore north-central Sumatra, to better characterize the morphological and structural variations, provide insight into fault development, and relate structure to plate boundary rupture and seismicity patterns. We interpret two relatively continuous, major fault structures that divide the prism into three strike-parallel belts that can be characterized by the relative fault slip rates along major and minor fault structures. The midslope break fault(s) and upper slope-bounding fault(s) are major, potentially out-of-sequence thrusts accommodating a significant component of the compressional strain. We propose that the upper slope-bounding fault represents the more mature end-member of an evolving fault system. Landward vergent structures are associated with a relatively thin sedimentary section near the deformation front in the center of our study area and suggest a potentially weak shallow plate boundary associated with the subducting Wharton Fossil Ridge

    Increasing Distributed Generation Penetration using Soft Normally-Open Points

    This paper considers the effects of various voltage control solutions on facilitating an increase in allowable levels of distributed generation installation before voltage violations occur. In particular, the voltage control solution that is focused on is the implementation of `soft' normally-open points (SNOPs), a term which refers to power electronic devices installed in place of a normally-open point in a medium-voltage distribution network which allows for control of real and reactive power flows between each end point of its installation sites. While other benefits of SNOP installation are discussed, the intent of this paper is to determine whether SNOPs are a viable alternative to other voltage control strategies for this particular application. As such, the SNOPs ability to affect the voltage profile along feeders within a distribution system is focused on with other voltage control options used for comparative purposes. Results from studies on multiple network models with varying topologies are presented and a case study which considers economic benefits of increasing feasible DG penetration is also given

    Evidence from North Carolina Shows that Immigrant Students with Limited English Have a Very Minor Impact on Native Students' Performance

    Get PDF
    Much of the recent concern about undocumented immigration into the U.S. can be linked to the perceived burden that these immigrants may create on the public education system. But is this really the case? Through analyzing detailed information on the performance of students in North Carolina,Timothy M. Diette and Ruth Uwaifo Oyelere find that the presence of students with limited English does have a negative, though small, effect on the math and reading achievement of natives that are male and black. They argue, however, that these effects are so small as not to warrant policy interventions.
