Studies of the most surficial sedimentary record from passive continental margins provide crucial knowledge about dynamics and its changes through recent geological times. These studies allow understanding in detail influence both tectonic activity long-term bottom-current circulation over Late Quaternary dynamics. Using a large dataset multibeam bathymetry, chirp multi-channel seismic (MCS) re...

It is well known that humans run with a fore-foot strike (FFS), a mid-foot strike (MFS) or a rear-foot strike (RFS). A modular neural control mechanism of human walking and running has been discussed in terms of muscle synergies. However, the neural control mechanisms for different foot strike patterns during running have been overlooked even though kinetic and kinematic differences between dif...

According to numerous studies, there are basic and initial scaling relationship for the geometric and kinematic characteristics of faults. The study area is located in the northern part of the Kerman coal province. The statistical calculations are consisting of:  measure the surface density of faults per unite area and division of the area, determining the direction of the dominant faulting and...

Abstract Past intensity of methane release from deep-ocean hydrates continues to be challenging reconstruct reliably. Here, we used fossil ostracode fauna paired with foraminiferal δ13C values in a marine sediment core Vestnesa Ridge, western Svalbard margin, seepage activity during the late Quaternary and examine faunal response deglacial climatic changes. Benthic indicate was relatively stron...

In this study, the active tectonics, paleoseismicity, and seismic hazards of Doroud Fault are examined through high-resolution satellite image interpretations, field investigations, outcrop trench excavations, dating geochronology samples. The (DF), one essential segments Main Recent in northern margin Zagros mountain range, has a historical instrumental background high seismicity. We present f...

The monsoon is a fundamental component of Earth's climate. The Pliocene warm period is characterized by long-term global cooling yet concurrent monsoon dynamics are poorly known. Here we present the first fully quantified and calibrated reconstructions of separate Pliocene air temperature and East Asian summer monsoon precipitation histories on the Chinese Loess Plateau through joint analysis o...

Recurrent cycles of climatic change during the Quaternary period have dramatically affected the population genetic structure of many species. We reconstruct the recent demographic history of the coyote (Canis latrans) through the use of Bayesian techniques to examine the effects of Late Quaternary climatic perturbations on the genetic structure of a highly mobile generalist species. Our analysi...

Radiocarbon dating of late Quaternary deposits and shorelines of Lake Mojave and cation-ratio numerical age dating of stone pavements (Dorn. 1984) on the adjacent Soda Mountains piedmont provide age constraints for alluvial and eolian deposits. These deposits are associated with climatically controlled stands of Lake Mojave during the past 15.000 yr. Six alluvial fan units and three eolian stra...

Strikes are an intégral part of the collective bargaining process and as such must be understood in relation to their dé-terminants in order to properly evaluate the performance of that process. In spite of the importance of such knowledge there has been surprisingly little effort devoted to estimating empirical relationships.
