Spectral analyses of complementary lithologic and paleoecologic data sets from the Cenomanian-Turonian Bridge Creek Limestone are used to test for Milankovitch periodicities. Because the analyses quantitatively assess variance in the data sets through the study interval, they also offer a new method for evaluating relationships between different components of the depositional system. The analys...

Abstract. Transform margins represent ∼ 30 % of non-convergent worldwide. Their formation and evolution have traditionally been addressed through kinematic models that do not account for the mechanical behaviour lithosphere. In this study, we use high-resolution 3D numerical thermo-mechanical modelling to simulate investigate intra-continental strain localization under oblique extension. The ob...

STUDY DESIGN Matched cohort. OBJECTIVE To compare the unit rod instrumentation (UR) technique with all-pedicle screw (PS) constructs in the surgical care of scoliosis in Gross Motor Function Classification System IV/V non-ambulatory spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy patients. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Over the past 20 years, there has been a transition from the UR technique to the use of...

Introduction: Greenhouse effect of CO2 may have been the most important factor for the Martian surface environment throughout the history of Mars. Polar ice caps and surface regolith are considered to be large CO2 reservoirs to exchange CO2 with the atmosphere on the Mars (atmosphere-ice caps-regolith (AIR) system). In this respect, Mars has an essentially different climate system from that of ...

Many Sun-like stars are observed to host close-in super-Earths (SEs) as part of a multi-planetary system. In such system, the spin SE evolves due spin-orbit resonances and tidal dissipation. absence tides, planet's obliquity can evolve chaotically large values. However, for SEs, dissipation is significant suppresses chaos, instead driving into various steady states. We find that attracting stat...

Recent advances in sub-millimeter observations of young circumstellar nebulae have opened an unprecedented window into the structure protoplanetary disks, which has revealed surprising ubiquity broken and misaligned disks. In this work, we demonstrate that such disks are capable torquing spin axis their host star, representing a hitherto unexplored pathway by stellar obliquities may be generate...
