Active deformation in Alborz range is due to N-S convergence between Arabia and Eurasia. This paper provides geomorphic traces of regional deformation in NW Iran in order to characterize active faulting on major faults. Soltanieh and North Zanjan fault systems are involved in convergence boundary extent between South Caspian Basin and Central Iran. Soltanieh and North Zanjan faults are major re...

In south China the Lushan massif forms a Jurassic through Early Triassic [e.g., Mattauer et al., 1985, topographic high of the South China Block south of the 1991; Okay et al., 1993; Hacker et al., 1996; Gilder et al., Qinling-Dabie belt. The Lushan massif consists of two main 1999]. The noah directed continental subduction of south lithotectonic units separated by a major tectonic ontact: a Ch...

As social media continues to grow, the zeitgeist of society is increasingly found not in the headlines of traditional media institutions, but in the activity of ordinary individuals. The identification of trending topics utilizes social media (such as Twitter) to provide an overview of the topics and issues that are currently popular within the online community. In this paper, we outline method...

The Wadi Hodein area in the south Eastern Desert of Egypt is occupied by Neoproterozoic Pan-African (Precambrian) basement rocks including metamorphic and intrusive assemblages. The metamorphic assemblage comprises dismembered ophiolitic metamorphosed ultramafic rocks and island-arc calc-alkaline metavolcanics. On the other hand, the intrusive assemblage rocks include syn-tectonic tonalite-gran...

The potential cardiovascular benefits of several trending foods and dietary patterns are still incompletely understood, and nutritional science continues to evolve. However, in the meantime, a number of controversial dietary patterns, foods, and nutrients have received significant media exposure and are mired by hype. This review addresses some of the more popular foods and dietary patterns tha...
