We have performed particle-resolved direct numerical simulations of many heavy non-spherical particles settling under gravity in the dilute regime. The are oblate spheroids aspect ratio $1.5$ and density . Two Galileo numbers considered, namely $111$ $152$ , for which a single spheroid follows steady vertical oblique path, respectively. In both cases, strongly inhomogeneous spatial distribution...

In this paper we communicate recent developments in theory, experiment, and computer simulations of V-shaped waves in excitable media. The waves appear as the result of oblique collisions of two plane waves, and constitute a one-parametric family of V-like patterns distinguishable by the angle of collision. The shape and position of V-patterns are stable with respect to localized perturbations ...

Integration of geological and geophysical data from the active Banda orogen reveals important variations in structural style with time that reconcile rival hypotheses for the tectonic evolution of the Banda arc. These variations indicate the temporal distribution of strain in the collision zone by vertical and horizontal structural restorations of the collision through time. In the western part...

The far western Aleutian Island Arc is actively colliding with Kamchatka. Westward motion of the Aleutian Arc is brought about by the tangential relative motion of the Pacific plate transferred to major, right-lateral shear zones north and south of the arc. Early geologic mapping of Cape Kamchatka (a promontory of Kamchatka along strike with the Aleutian Arc) revealed many similarities to the g...

[1] Previous Caribbean GPS studies have shown that the rigid interior of the Caribbean plate is moving eastnortheastward (070 ) at a rate of 18–20 ± 3 mm/yr relative to North America. This direction implies maximum oblique convergence between the island of Hispaniola on the Caribbean plate and the 22–27-kmthick crust of the Bahama carbonate platform on the adjacent North America plate. We prese...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin-a (bta) injection into the inferior oblique (io) muscle in releaving the symptoms of superior oblique (so) palsy. methods: the study was conducted on patients who were referred for acquired so palsy with less than 2 years of duration. about 10-20 unit of bta was injected into the belly of the inferior oblique muscle through the inferotemporal q...
