[1] On Venus a 1000-km-long, 50to 200-km-wide, anastomosing shear zone system (Thetis Boundary Shear Zone (TBSZ)) separates the eastern Ovda and northwestern Thetis Regiones. Previous workers mapped a part of this shear zone and interpreted it as a sinistral strike-slip shear zone containing an extensional jog. In the present study it is reexamined for a detailed structural and kinematic analys...

BACKGROUND Running popularity has increased resulting in a concomitant increase in running-related injuries with patellofemoral pain most commonly reported. The purpose of this study was to determine whether gait retraining by modifying footstrike patterns from rearfoot strike to forefoot strike reduces patellofemoral pain and improves associated biomechanical measures, and whether the modifica...

The Internet allows musicians and other artists to collaborate remotely. However, network latency presents a fundamental challenge for remote collaborators who need to coordinate and respond to each other’s performance in real time. In this paper, we investigate the viability of predicting percussion hits before they have occurred, so that information about the predicted drum hit can be sent ov...

in reporting of wildlife strikes with civil aircraft and in identification of species struck under a primarily Executive Summary Reporting of wildlife strikes with civil aircraft is voluntary for airports and pilots but strongly encouraged by the FAA via Advisory Circulars and other activities. In 2009, the FAA undertook a review of the trends in strike reporting from 1990-2008 to determine if ...

We used scaled experimental (analog) models with wet clay to investigate how conjugate sets of steeply dipping strike-slip faults affect deformation patterns during a subsequent phase of extension. In all twophase experiments, an initial phase of strike-slip deformation produces a long, wide deformation zone consisting of subvertical Riedel shears; synthetic R-shears and antithetic R'-shears tr...

New shape control implementations and dynamics studies on the National Spherical Torus eXperiment (NSTX) (Ono et al 2000 Nucl. Fusion 40 557–61) are summarized. In particular, strike point position, X-point height and squareness control, and two new system-identification methods/control-tuning algorithms were put into operation. The PID controller for the strike point was tuned by analysing the...

The decomposition procedure suggested for magnetotelluric (MT) data in a companion paper is illustrated by examples. Adjacent pairs of stations are examined to test for common features in their MT response. The method analyzes the real and quadrature parts of an impedance tensor separately, and the results for the real and quadrature parts are compared, and in some cases combined, at the end. V...

We consider a model of wage determination with private information in a duopoly. We investigate the effects of unions having relative concerns on the negotiated wage and the strike activity. We show that an increase of unions' relative concerns has an ambiguous effect on the strike activity.

We describe a case of bilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage after a lightning strike to the head documented by a CT scan. Review of the literature shows this to be the most common brain imaging finding that can be attributed to a lightning strike. Several mechanistic theories are discussed, with the most plausible one being related to preferential conduction pathways through the brain.
