Estimates of Martian crustal thickness from viscous relaxation of topography
Isosta.tica,lly compensated crusta,1 thickness variations and associated topographic contrasts a,t the surface of a planet result in lateral pressure gradients, which may cause the lower crust to flow and reduce the relief. Areas of thicker crust are genera, lly associated with more rapid relaxation of topography. On Mars, topographic features such as impa, ct basins a, nd the hemispheric dicho...
متن کاملShort-Term Clinical Outcomes of Radial Shortening Osteotomy and Capitates Shortening Osteotomy in Kienböck Disease
Background: There is no consensus on the best surgical treatment in Kienböck disease. We compared the shortterm outcomes of radial shortening osteotomy and capitate shortening osteotomy in patients affected with this disease. Methods: In a retrospective study of 21 patients with Lichtman stage IIIA of Kienböck disease, 12 patients with an average follow up of 3.2 ± 0.6 years had radial short...
متن کاملCenozoic shortening budget for the northeastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau: Is lower crustal flow necessary?
[1] Two of the most popular mechanisms for thickening the crust beneath the Tibetan Plateau are (1) pure shear with faulting and folding in the upper crust and horizontal shortening below and (2) flow of lower or middle crust without significant shortening of the upper crust. To help discriminate between the relative contributions of these two mechanisms, well-constrained estimates of upper cru...
متن کاملCauses of inaccurate software development cost estimates
A study of information systems managers and other information systems professionals at 112 different organizations confirmed that information systems software cost estimating is an important concern. Subjects reported the completion of only one of every four systems development projects within their estimates. Although subjects perceived that the major causes of inaccurate estimates were users’...
متن کاملAnesthetic Sevoflurane Causes Rho-Dependent Filopodial Shortening in Mouse Neurons
Early postnatal anesthesia causes long-lasting learning and memory impairment in rodents, however, evidence for a specific neurotoxic effect on early synaptogenesis has not been demonstrated. Drebrin A is an actin binding protein whose localization in dendritic protrusions serves an important role in dendritic spine morphogenesis, and is a marker for early synaptogenesis. We therefore set out t...
