Oblique subduction at a high rate of convergence along much of the Middle America Trench results in northwest-directed trench-parallel block motion. Accommodation of this motion along northwest-striking dextral strike-slip faults has been postulated; however, in Nicaragua such faults are not well developed. We suggest instead that this motion is accommodated by bookshelf faulting that includes ...

The Northeast Under/graduate Organization for Neuroscience (N.E.U.R.O.N.) was established in 1996 to provide a forum for undergraduate and graduate students and faculty in neuroscience to interact with each other. N.E.U.R.O.N. organizes a yearly one-day conference in the Northeast. While scientific meetings exist that serve the purpose of enhancing undergraduate research or neuroscience researc...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to report on the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in lobstermen in the northeast USA. METHODS Crews were randomly selected from those licensed to fish in Maine and Massachusetts and followed prospectively. The survey used a Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire format to characterize musculoskeletal disorders. RESULTS A total of 395 individuals pa...
