the upper cretaceous ganj complex, a part of the jazmurian ophiolitic belt, is located on the western boundary of jazmurian depression and separated from kahnuj ophiolitic complex by north-south trending jiroft fault. the complex consists of lava flows, pillow lavas, acidic plutonic and sedimentary rocks which are intruded by northwest-southeast trending dykes. it does not resemble a classical ...

This work deals with a new methodology for the definition of volcanic susceptibly hazard maps through Cellular Automata and Genetic Algorithms. Specifically, the paper describes the proposed approach and presents the first results to the South­Eastern flank of Mt. Etna (Sicily, Italy). In particular, resulting hazard maps are characterized by a high degree of detail and allow for a punctual and...

An impression technique called optical impression using intraoral scanner has attracted attention in digital dentistry. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the optical impression, comparing a virtual model reproduced by an intraoral scanner to a working cast made by conventional silicone impression technique. Two implants were placed on a master model. Working casts made of plaster wer...

The Kalkarindji continental flood basalt province of northern Australia erupted in the mid Cambrian (c. 511 505 Ma). It now consists of scattered basaltic lava fields, the most extensive being the Antrim Plateau Volcanics (APV) a semi-continuous outcrop (c. 50,000 km) reaching a maximum thickness of 1.1 km. Cropping out predominately in the SW of the APV, close to the top of the basalt successi...

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques are used to calculate the volume of eruption at Okmok volcano, Alaska by constructing precise digital elevation models (DEMs) that represent volcano topography before and after the eruption. The pre-eruption DEM is generated using TOPSAR data where a three-dimensional multiaffined transformation is used to account for the misalignments...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the influence of restoration thickness to the fracture resistance of adhesively bonded Lava™ Ultimate CAD/CAM, a Resin Nano Ceramic (RNC), and IPS e.max CAD ceramic. METHODS Polished Lava™ Ultimate CAD/CAM (Group L), sandblasted Lava™ Ultimate CAD/CAM (Group LS), and sandblasted IPS e.max CAD (Group ES) discs (n=8, Ø=10 mm) with a thickness of respec...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate bond strengths of zirconium-oxide (zirconia) ceramic and a selection of different composite resin cements. STUDY DESIGN 130 Lava TM cylinders were fabricated. The cylinders were sandblasted with 80 µm aluminium oxide or silica coated with CoJet Sand. Silane, and bonding agent and/or Clearfil Ceramic Primer were applied. One hundred thirty compo...

Introduction: On Mars, long lava flows have been described as the first volcanic stage at the formation of a plains-style volcanic region (e.g. [1]). They have been identified and described on the eastern flanks of the Tharsis Montes (e.g.[2 4]), as well as on Tempe Terra [5] and Syria Planum [6]. This type of volcanism have been described as a consequence of magmatism near larger magmatic prov...
