Abstract Gold mineralisation is spatially and chronologically correlated with fault/shear zones in many of the world-class gold mines. Hence, indirect exploration for Au linked shearing complex structures areas. general, need a rapid, effective new technology that reflects structure set-up, shear zones, faults related structural elements crucial industry. In this article, we present an example ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the trend of the incidence and costs of hip fractures in Italy. METHODS The incidence of hip fractures after 45 years of age in both females and males during the years 1999-2002 was obtained by analyzing the Italian Ministry of Health national hospitalization database, according to the diagnosis codes of International Classification of Diseases...

 Abstract Background: Osteoporosis is a major public health threat, and hip fracture is a serious consequence of osteoporosis. Apatient with an osteoporosis-related hip fracture has an increased risk for a second hip fracture. The effect of osteoporosis management on the risk of recurrent hip fracture was evaluated in this study. Methods: 58 hip fracture patients older than 50yr and BMD < 2.5 w...

The geothermal potential of West Mesa has historically been assumed to be small because it is thought to be dominated by a left-stepping transpressional regime that is generally tight and not conducive to open fluid pathways. This may not be the complete picture, however. The 85 MWe Heber geothermal project appears to be located in a right stepover from the northwest trending seismogenic extens...

During large earthquakes, seismic sources tend to split in several sub-events that rupture neighboring fault patches called segments. The scaling of such segmentation plays a decisive role earthquake dynamics, especially for strike-slip events. Using numerical modeling we demonstrate when pristine layer brittle material is sheared, the first oblique Riedel fractures nucleate with regular spacin...

osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease. in addition to morbidity, osteoporotic fractures also increase mortality risk in affected patients. enough evidence is not available to indicate that, like western countries, osteoporosis is a public health problem in iran. therefore emrc planned to estimate the burden of osteoporotic fractures in year 2001 based on existing sources of dat...
