We used scaled experimental (analog) models with wet clay to investigate how conjugate sets of steeply dipping strike-slip faults affect deformation patterns during a subsequent phase of extension. In all twophase experiments, an initial phase of strike-slip deformation produces a long, wide deformation zone consisting of subvertical Riedel shears; synthetic R-shears and antithetic R'-shears tr...

The aim of this study was to explore whether strike patterns or shoe conditions have significant influence on running impact and plantar pressure. A total of 12 healthy male volunteers were requested to run under shod and barefoot conditions with heel and forefoot strike to complete 3 trials for each condition. Kinetic data were recorded during the experiment. For ground reaction force, shod ru...

objective: an abrupt refusal by the infant to breastfeed is often called “nursing strike”. in fact a common reason for cessation of nursing is infant’s refusal to breast feed. this problem can often be overcome. this paper has aimed to identify the causes of “breast feeding refusal” or “nursing strike” in 6 month old infants visiting the east tehran health center for their scheduled vaccination...

the zagros fold- thrust belt as a part of alpine- himalayan orogenic belt, is one of the most active continental collision zones on the earth, which extends from the tarus mountains in south eastern turkey to the minab fault in the east of the strait of hormoz in southern iran. structurally, its formation is related to the continuing convergent movement between the arabian plate to the southwes...

Fling-step and forward directivity are two important characteristics of near-field earthquakes. Forward directivity occurs when the rupture propagates toward the site and arises in fault‐normal direction for strike‐slip faults. Fling-step is the consequence of permanent ground displacement imposed by near-field earthquakes and arises in strike-slip faults in the strike parallel direction. Fling...

Blowfly strike and the methods used to combat blowfly strike were recorded on 33 properties in the Rûens area of South Africa during 2003/2004. Data were recorded on Merino and Dohne Merino hoggets (n = 4951) with at least 3 months' wool growth. The following data were captured: presence or absence of strike, site of the strike (body or breech), presence or absence of dermatophilosis as well as...

For large earthquakes occurred at and around plate boundaries, we examined relations between seismic moment M 0 , fault length L, fault width W and average fault slip D, and found the following scaling laws. For interplate strike-slip events, the well-known L-cubed dependence of seismic moment M 0 breaks when L exceeds 30 km, and D and M 0 increase with L as D = L==(L+) and M 0 = WL 2 =(L +), r...
