Water chemical analysis of 100 springs from the Orco and the Tinée valleys (Western Italy and Southern France) and a 7 year groundwater chemistry monitoring of the 5 main springs were performed. All these springs drain from crystalline rock slopes. Some of these drain from currently active gravitational slope deformations. All groundwaters flowing through presently unstable slopes show anomalie...

Background: Comminuted fractures happen frequently due to traumas. Fixation without opening the fracture site,known as minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO), has recently become prevalent. This study has beendesigned to assess the outcomes of this treatment for tibial and femoral comminuted fractures.Methods: A total of 60 patients with comminuted femoral or tibial fractures were opera...

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...

This paper presents the design and prototype implementation of an reactive system that facilitates the fault detection and fault tolerance for a loosely integrated heterogeneous database system. The database system consists of a number of fully autonomous databases that, through their willingness, can share some portion of their information. Sensors (functions that expose some part of the state...

conclusions higher age of cyclists and increasing speed of the accident opponent significantly increase the likelihood of sustaining facial fractures. the use of bicycle helmets does not significantly reduce the incidence of mid-facial fractures, while being correlated with an even increased incidence of mandibular fractures. background the effectiveness of bicycle safety helmets in preventing ...

Bearing faults account for over 40% of induction motor faults, and this reason, several decades, much attention has been paid to their condition monitoring, through vibration measurements and, more recently, electromagnetic signal analysis. Furthermore, in the last few years, research focused on evaluating deep learning algorithms automatic diagnosis these faults. Therefore, purpose study is pr...

The region of Beni-Ilmane (District of M'sila, north-central Algeria) was the site of an earthquake sequence that started on 14 May 2010. This sequence, which lasted several months, was triggered by conjugate E-W reverse and N-S dextral faulting. To image the crustal structure of these active faults, we used a set of 1406 well located aftershocks events and applied the local tomography software...

Mutation analysis inserts faults into a program to create test sets that distinguish the mutant from the original program. Inserted faults must represent plausible errors. Standard transformations can mutate scalar values such as integers, floats, and character data. Mutating objects is an open problem, because object semantics are defined by the programmer and can vary widely. We develop mutat...

the study area is situated in the middle part of the tabas block. it contains outcrops of rocks that formed along longitudinal faults in early cimmerian orogenic phase. the basin subsided along these faults from the late triassic to early cretaceous, which include two sedimentary cycles. a sedimentary cycle, related to upper triassic to bajocian is known as shemshak group. another sedimentary c...
