  In this paper the fractal dimension of the aftershocks of the 2013 M 7.8 Gosht-Saravan earthquake and their relationship with the seismicity parameters (such as the b-value) and also the released seismic energies of the main shocks and the aftershocks are investigated. More

  In this paper the fractal dimension of the aftershocks of the 2013 M 7.8 Gosht-Saravan earthquake and their relationship with the seismicity parameters (such as the b-value) and also the released seismic energies of the main shocks and the aftershocks are investigated. The Gosht-Saravan main shock is an intraslab event with normal mechanism. No relationship between the Saravan fault and the main shock is observed. By examining the fractal dimension of the aftershocks and their relationship with the b-value it is confirmed that a linear seismic source (such as a subduction zone) exists. The slip ratio between the primary and secondary faults can be estimated by the fractal dimension. The calculated slip ratio indicates that a low portion of the slips may be related to the near surface fractures which can be verified by the shallow depth aftershocks. The earthquake occurrence in the intermediate depth, releases seismic energy and migrates to the near surface faults and fractures. The occurrence of aftershocks both near the hypocenter and at shallow depths can confirm the activity of these faults. The ratio of the total radiated seimic energy of the aftershocks to the radiated seimic energy of the main shock indicates that a high fraction of the energy related to the main shock and just a small fraction of the energy related to the aftershocks.

  As technology advances, man constantly seeks to learn more about interactions among his internal organs and investigate his body’s reactions in times of illness or interventions, such as electric responses of the heart and brain to external stimuli like visual or auditory ones. Hearing a sound and assessing vital signs is one type of intervention. In this research, the effects of the sound of Quran recitation on heart and brain signals in three stages – before, at the time of, and after listening to Quran recitation – have been studied. The heart and brain signals of 50 girl students aged 19 to 24 with roughly similar religious belief levels was registered at a certain time. The objective was to study the effects of listening to Quran recitation on various characteristics, differentiate various states from one another using chaotic processing methods and statistical tests, and examine the accuracy of the results via support vector machines classification. The results show that listening to the Quran has a profound effect on interactions between heart and brain data and causes an increase in data flow between heart and brain signals based on a study of correlation dimension and fractal dimension, and a rise in the interactions between these two vital organs of the body. From a Cybernetics point of view, a rise in interactions in a bio system indicates an increase in the system’s self-organization and efficiency. Manuscript profile
