The Northern Branch of the North Anatolian Fault System controls and deforms Izmit Basin Sapanca Lake in study area. Unlike Basin, oblique normal faults with WNW–ESE trending maximum length 5 km south basin have contributed to deformation process formation Basin. fault sets mainly incline north. N-S width dextral strike-slip active was determined as 9 at 3.8 basin. Further, minimum principal st...

Abstract Over the past few decades, tectonic geomorphology has been widely implemented to constrain spatial and temporal patterns of fault slip, especially where existing geologic or geodetic data are poor. We apply this practice along eastern margin Bull Mountain, Southwest Montana, 15 transient channels eroding into flat, upstream relict landscape in response an ongoing period increased base ...

Tectonic stresses governed by the Arabia – Central Iran collision are transferred throughout Iranian Plateau. The orientation of maximum horizontal stress (σ 1 ) significantly changes (~90°) in Persian block NW Iran. However, exact spatial extent and boundary conditions for these poorly defined. This study investigates late Cenozoic regime a key region including Mahneshan Mianeh Basin (MMCB), G...

[1] New slope measurements from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA), in conjunction with the Rock Mass Rating system (RMR), permit inversions of slope height and angle from wallrock and interior deposits within Valles Marineris troughs for strength and lithology. Wallrock (50 < RMR < 65) is stronger than interior deposits (30 < RMR < 55). These values are consistent with layered igneous roc...

Due to the automation and centralisation of railway operation the demand for train monitoring systems arises to guarantee operational safety in times of liberalisation of the railway market. The motivation for wayside train monitoring has it’s origin in national considerations and regulations. Accordingly monitoring systems are designed for national use, but the market of railway undertakings i...

Twelve anesthetized mongrel dogs underwent left thoracotomy with placement of a removable ligature around the left circumflex coronary artery. Following a 3 to 6 hour delay, ECG-gated spin-echo MRI was performed. The ligature was then removed reperfusing the heart, and after a 10-15 min period, MRI repeated. Finally, post-sacrifice images were obtained, and the hearts chemically stained for inf...

the concept of fault, like other social phenomena, is always changing, following the variable justice. the economic, moral, and philosophical consideration, are the most influential factors in the process of change. however, it seems that, apart from exceptional issues of revolutionary changes, the economic and material factors lead the way. in this historical process, the definitions of fault ...

BACKGROUND Tinea capitis affects mainly children. The frequency and causative organism vary from region to region. OBJECTIVES To provide epidemiological and mycological data on tinea capitis collected in urban and rural areas of the Dominican Republic. METHODS Samples were obtained from 118 patients with tinea capitis. Sixty-three of these were from 2 schools in urban areas of the Dominican...
