Mud volcanism was initiated when overpressured muds rose through the Mediterranean Ridge accretionary prism. Early mud volcanism was marked by eruption of coarse clastic sediments forming small cones of debris flow deposits and turbidites, followed by eruption of large volumes of clast-rich matrix-supported debris flows. Eruption was accompanied by progressive subsidence to form moat-like featu...

INTRODUCTION Induced dental root resorption is a common side effect of orthodontic treatment. It is an unpredictable phenomenon, and its etiology is unknown. Odontoclasts responsible for the resorption of the dental tissues--ie, cementum and dentin--share many cytochemical and morphological characteristics with osteoclasts, which are responsible for bone resorption. The aim of this study was to...

This study presents a multimodal hub location problem which has the capability to split commodities by limited-capacity hubs and transportation systems, based on the assumption that demands are stochastic for multi-commodity network flows. In the real world cases, demands are random over the planning horizon and those which are partially fulfilled, are lost. Thus, the present study handles dema...

The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) of late Cretaceous ash-flow tuffs in Chisulryoung Volcanic Formation, southeastern Korea was studied to define the primary pyroclastic flow azimuth. AMS data revealed a dominant oblate fabric with a tight clustering of k3 (minimum axis of magnetic susceptibility) and shallow dispersal of k1 (maximum axis of magnetic susceptibility) and k2 (interme...

Accessibility of main sea ports by road has become increasingly difficult due to rapid growth in container throughput. To deal with this challenge, new ways for handling containers and distribution of cargo flows are needed to define and implement. One possibility is going beyond container transportation and considering cargos inside the containers in the design and operation of transportation ...

The most distinctive feature of the Upper Triassic (Carnian) Quaco Formation, coastal New Brunswick, Canada, is the pervasive occurrence of cm-scale circular to elliptical markings and indentations on the cobble surfaces. Also present on many of the cobbles are fractures that radiate from these indentations and spalled clast margins. The smooth-surfaced depressions that occur on most cobbles li...

A model for traffic flow in street networks or material flows in supply networks is presented, that takes into account the conservation of cars or materials and other significant features of traffic flows such as jam formation, spillovers, and load-dependent transportation times. Furthermore, conflicts or coordination problems of intersecting or merging flows are considered as well. Making assu...

[1] High-resolution X-ray computed tomography (HRXCT) is a nondestructive method used to study the interiors of opaque solid objects. Here we present the results of a first application of the HRXCT method to imaging the interior of impactites, in particular, suevites (glass-bearing impact breccias) from the Bosumtwi (Ghana) and Ries (Germany) craters and a Muong Nong–type tektite from Thailand....

Path flow estimator ~PFE! is a one-stage network observer proposed in the transportation literature to estimate path flows and path travel times from traffic counts in a transportation network. The estimated path flows can further be aggregated to obtain the origin–destination sO–Dd flows, which are usually required in many transportation applications. In this paper, we examine the capability o...
