A geological and speleological investigation was conducted in the famous Blue Cave (Modra špilja) Monk Seal (Medvidina on Biševo Island (Croatia) to promote island’s geoheritage through new Visitor Centre. The island is mainly composed of Cretaceous Paleogene neritic carbonates, which form bedrock, whereas parts are covered with thin Quaternary sediments. caves small dimensions a simple layout,...

Animal welfare during transport became an largely issue because of increasing demand for improved animal standards. Most studies on the transportation have concentrated atmosphere and temperature truck compartments. Thus, objective study was to collect quantify three axis acceleration determine effect bedding transporting pigs from farm slaughterhouse. A total 2,840 crossbred fattening with a l...

In this paper, we describe a new technique for the automatic orientation of bedding in drill core from digital images. Images are planar pictures of the drill core, and we show that it is possible to determine layer orientation without rotating the core on the full circumference. More precisely, we show that angle information can be extracted by applying image processing and a mathematical desc...

The Wells 6.0 magnitude earthquake of February 21, 2008, occurred on a previously unrecognized northeast-striking southeast-dipping fault situated beneath Town Creek Flat, a few miles north of Wells, Nevada. Focal depth of the earthquake was 5 miles (8 km). Bedrock geology in the surrounding ranges did not indicate the existence of the fault prior to the earthquake, and no surface rupture has b...

Abstract Radiogenic strontium isotopes ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) of vein carbonates play a central role in the tectonometamorphic study fold-and-thrust belts and accretionary wedges have been used to document fluid sources fluxes, for example, along major fault zones. In addition, Sr ratios can trace diagenetic metamorphic evolution pore fluids accreted sediments. Here we present from Infrahelvetic flysc...

The objective of this observational study was to determine the association of exposure to selected bedding types with incidence of subclinical (SM) and clinical mastitis (CM) in primiparous Holstein dairy cows housed in identical pens at a single facility. At parturition, primiparous cows were randomly assigned to pens containing freestalls with 1 of 4 bedding materials: (1) deep-bedded new san...
