Dasht-e-Arjan is a northeast trending graben located 65 km west of Shiraz. It was formed along active segments of the Korrehbas fault, perpendicularly to the Shahnesh in and Salamati anticlines. Oriented sampling from bordering fault planes and striations was carried out to evaluate the relative amounts of paleostress/strain needed to form the graben. Measurements of e-twins and c-axis of calci...

Calderas are important geological features in all volcanic environments due to give directives clues of resources such as geothermal system, mineralization, or even oil and gas potential reserved. The ability recognizing these specific play an role the exploration activities. A good understanding settings will bring right direction make activities becomes optimized cost effective. Gravity metho...

Determining the relationship between crustal movement and faulting in thrust belts is essential for understanding the growth of geological structures and addressing the proposed models of a potential earthquake hazard. A Mw 5.9 earthquake occurred on 21 January 2016 in Menyuan, NE Qinghai Tibetan plateau. We combined satellite interferometry from Sentinel-1A Terrain Observation with Progressive...

Geodetic studies have produced different interpretations of the relative vertical thickening versus escape tectonics occurring within the Los Angeles basin based on calculated horizontal strain rates ranging from 56 10 /yr contraction at N36 E to 85 10 /yr north–south contraction and 60 10 /yr east–west extension. Three-dimensional forward mechanical models of faults in the Los Angeles basin ar...

BACKGROUND Gigantomastia is a rare condition characterized by excessive breast growth and can be physically and psychosocially disabling for the patient. Regarding management of gigantomastia, this study evaluates the outcomes of superomedial pedicle with vertical scar or wise pattern skin excision. METHODS A total of 425 patients who underwent reduction mammoplasty in our institution ...

The Fenwei Basin, which has 612 developed ground fissures, is the most concentrated and severe area in China even world for fissure hazards. Jiaocheng Taiyuan Basin known being longest length causing damage impact China. To discover origin of fissure, surveying, trenching, geophysical exploration were used to study its geological basis, developmental characteristics, genetic processes. With a t...

The surrounding rock stability of an underground cavern group is important issue in the process excavation, which has characteristics large displacement, discontinuity and uneven deformation, so calculation analysis are very complicated. optimized discontinuous deformation for failure method was adopted to analyze a real engineering under different excavation schemes. cracking schemes, depth cr...
