Abstract A pre-existing plane of weakness along the fault is comprised a particular pattern joints dipping at different orientations. The stress state, partially defined by orientation fault, determines potential slip failure and hence evolution permeability. Here influence on permeability was investigated direct fluid injection inside with three sets orientations (45°, 60° 110°), through coupl...

PURPOSE Among the hearing loss patients, we can confirm that the hearing loss of the specific frequency decreases, such as the 2000Hz notch in otosclerosis and the 4000Hz notch (c5-dip) in noise-induced hearing loss. The 1000Hz notch (c3-dip), however, is rarely studied. We fortuitously encountered a group of patients with a 1kHz hearing loss and report it with a review of the literature. MET...

We study how the fault dip and slip rake angles affect near-source ground velocities and displacements as faulting transitions from strike-slip motion on a vertical fault to thrust motion on a shallow-dipping fault. Ground motions are computed for five fault geometries with different combinations of fault dip and rake angles and common values for the fault area and the average slip. The nature ...

bin size is one of the fundamental and key parameters in 3d land seismic operation design and has an important role in the determination and calculation of other design parameters. therefore, optimization of this parameter is vital. in this study a new method for optimization of the bin size has been used. the optimization algorithm is linear and based on a mathematical model. due to the relati...

Di-myo-inositol 1,1'-phosphate (DIP) is a major osmoprotecting metabolite in a number of hyperthermophilic species of archaea and bacteria. Although the DIP biosynthesis pathway was previously proposed, genes encoding only two of the four required enzymes, inositol-1-phosphate synthase and inositol monophosphatase, were identified. In this study we used a comparative genomic analysis to predict...

We have defined a network of interacting Drosophila cell surface proteins in which a 21-member IgSF subfamily, the Dprs, binds to a nine-member subfamily, the DIPs. The structural basis of the Dpr-DIP interaction code appears to be dictated by shape complementarity within the Dpr-DIP binding interface. Each of the six dpr and DIP genes examined here is expressed by a unique subset of larval and...

The ability of the human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1) protein Nef to induce cytoskeleton changes in infected host cells is a key event in viral replication. In renal podocytes, we found that Nef induced loss of stress fibers and increased lamellipodia, pathological changes leading to proteinuria in HIV-associated nephropathy. These morphological changes were mediated by Nef-induced Ra...

Hot-water dips with and without the additives abamectin and sodium hypochlorite were evaluated for control of Ditylenchus dipsaci infection of garlic seed cloves. All treatments were compared to hot water-formalin clove dip disinfection and to nontreated infected controls for garlic emergence, midseason infection, bulb damage, and yield at harvest in field plots in 12 experiments. Hot-water tre...

There are large individual differences in susceptibility to noise exposure. Most hearing impairment begins with dip type hearing loss, and continual evoked otoacoustic emissions (C-EOAEs) are frequently seen in ears with dip type hearing loss. The present study was performed in order to ascertain the relationship between dip type hearing loss and C-EOAE. Brass band members in two junior high sc...

[1] Since the work of Kanamori and Given (1981), it has been recognized that shallow, pure dip‐slip earthquakes excite long‐period surface waves such that it is difficult to independently constrain the moment (M0) and the dip (d) of the source mechanism, with only the product M0 sin(2d) being well constrained. Because of this, it is often assumed that the primary discrepancies between the momen...
