The North Tabriz Fault is seismologically an active fault with current right lateral strike-slip movements. Restricted mafic to intermediate Late Cretaceous igneous rocks are exposed along the North Tabriz Fault. Whole rock samples and clinopyroxene phenocrysts geochemistry were studied in order to characterize the petrogenesis of these mafic rocks and their possible relation to an oceanic crus...

OBJECTIVE To describe the epidemiology of fractures among children seen with sports injuries in a district general hospital accident and emergency department. METHODS A prospective study of children aged 5 to 15 years who presented with sport related fractures from 1 September 1997 to 31 August 1998. RESULTS The 255 children who had sport related fractures represent 20% of children seen wit...

Brittle deformation can saturate the Earth's crust with faults and fractures in an apparently chaotic fashion. The details of brittle deformational histories and implications on, for example, seismotectonics and landscape, can thus be difficult to untangle. Fortunately, brittle faults archive subtle details of the stress and physical/chemical conditions at the time of initial strain localizatio...

BACKGROUND Little is known about trends and predictors of hardware related infection following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of extremity fractures, one of the major causes of failure following ORIF. The present study was designed and conducted to determine trends and predictors of infection-related hardware removal following ORIF of extremities using a nationally representative d...

We explore the issue of fault reactivation induced in enhanced geothermal systems by fluid injection. Specifically, we investigate the role of late stage activation by thermal drawdown. A Thermal-Hydrological-Mechanical simulator incorporating a ubiquitous joint constitutive model is used to systematically simulate the seismic slip of an embedded critically stressed strike-slip fault. We examin...

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 we...

background fractures of the knee account for about 6% of all trauma admissions. while its management is mostly focused on fracture treatment, it is not the only factor that defines the final outcome. objectives this study aimed to study objective and subjective outcomes after proximal tibial versus distal femoral fractures in terms of knee instability and health-related quality of life. patient...

Fracture is an effective reservoir space and important seepage channel for low permeability sandstone reservoirs, which very exploration development. Conventional fracture prediction methods have high cost, slow operation speed resolution, limits the promotion of identification methods. Therefore, this paper proposes a method based on ant tracking. This post-stack seismic data. Firstly, data de...

With significant geological reserves and high resource abundance, the Xujiahe Formation in Western Sichuan Depression is considered a key target for natural gas exploration development continental clastic rocks within Basin. However, this formation remains underdeveloped. Critical to forming “sweet spots” of tight reservoir presence fractures. Based on available data sources, including core sam...
