Paired metamorphic belts revisited

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Eclogite HP granulite Paired metamorphic belts UHPM UHTM The modern plate tectonics regime is characterized by a duality of thermal environments, one representing the subduction zone and the other representing the arc–backarc or orogenic hinterland. This duality is the hallmark of one-sided (asymmetric) subduction, and the characteristic imprint of one-sided subd...

Respiratory belts and whistles

In this talk we will discuss to what extent breathing kinematics can be used as a cue to turn-taking behaviour in spontaneous multiparty conversation. We improve on existing accounts by considering all possible transitions between speaker states (silent, speaking, backchanneling) and by not relying on global speaker models. Instead, all features (including breathing range and resting expiratory...

0 Setting Confidence Belts

We propose using a Bayes procedure with uniform improper prior to determine credible belts for the mean of a Poisson distribution in the presence of background and for the continuous problem of measuring a non-negative quantity θ with a normally distributed measurement error. Within the Bayesian framework, these belts are optimal. The credible limits are then examined from a frequentist point o...

Seat Belts and Neck Injuries

This article, part of a recently CO!ll> l eted research project on safety belts, presents results on neck injuries. A total of 3927 injured front seat occupants (drivers and passengers) i nvol ved in two-car crashes were considered • ..Wang them, 725 sustained a neck sprain (ICD9:847. 0), some af them may have sustained ather injuries as well. The more serious injuries to the cervical spine wer...
