Abstract Mw 7.6 and 7.4 earthquakes occurred 16 h apart on April 12 13, 2014, at depths of 15 km 35 km, respectively, southwest Makira Island (San Cristobal) in the Solomon Islands. We study source mechanisms to investigate interrelation between two events, why Islands have a historically high rate doublet earthquakes. Teleseismic P waveform data for both events were used obtain slip distributi...

Fig. 1 : (a) Showing normal diurnal pattern in a normal person. Night time is shown as dark on time scale. SBP as well as DBP dip at night. (b) Showing inadequate nocturnal dip in a person with normal day time BP. (c) Showing nocturnal hypertension in a person with only transient episodes of hypertension during day. Fig. 2 : (a) Showing normal day time BP with over dipping at night. SBP falling...

We present results from analysis of the observation of the dipping, quasi-periodic bursting low mass X-ray binary XB1323-619 made with XMM-Newton in Jan., 2003. In spectral analysis of the non-dip, non-burst EPIC PN spectrum, a number of absorption lines were discovered, notably at 6.70 and 6.98 keV which we identify with scattering by high ionization state ions Fe XXV and Fe XXVI. Such feature...

We report results of analysis of the ASCA observation of the Low Mass X-ray Binary dipping source XB 1916-053 made on 1993, May 2nd, during which dipping was very deep such that in the deepest parts of dips, the X-ray intensity in the band 0.5-12.0 keV fell to zero, demonstrating that all emission components were completely removed. The best-fit orbital period of the binary system determined fr...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014206951 DESCRIPTION A 19-year-old male patient, who had undergone laminectomy for lumbar disc herniation the previous day, reported involuntary upward movement of his eyes. The eyes exhibited conjugate upward movement, followed by a brief tonic phase, and rapid downward movement to ...

Evaporation of fluid at micro and nanometer scale may be used to self-assemble nanometre-sized particles in suspension. Evaporating process can be used to gently control flow in micro and nanofluidics, thus providing a potential mean to design a fine pattern onto a surface or to functionalize a nanoprobe tip. In this paper, we present an original experimental approach to explore this open and r...
