The rocks of the Wadi Umm Gheig/El-Shush area in the central Eastern Desert of Egypt form part of the Nubian Shield, a component of the Neoproterozoic Pan-African Orogeny. The rocks have been divided into three units: (i) low-grade metamorphosed rocks, which consist of metavolcanic rocks interleaved with slices of ophiolitic melange; (ii) high-grade metamorphic rocks, which consist of syn-tecto...

Non-volcanic deep low-frequency tremors in southwest Japan exhibit a strong temporal and spatial correlation with slow slip detected by the dense seismic network. The tremor signal is characterized by a low-frequency vibration with a predominant frequency of 0.5–5 Hz without distinct Por S-wave onset. The tremors are located using the coherent pattern of envelopes over many stations, and are es...

[1] We have analyzed and compared distance dependences of electric and magnetic fields due to a lightning strike to a tall object and due to the same lightning strike to flat ground. In both cases, lightning was represented by a transmission line energized by a lumped voltage source connected at the channel attachment point. The resultant total charge transfer to ground was the same regardless ...

• Ordovician and Lower Devonian OMZ rocks contain an important 1 Ga detrital zircon population. Sahara metacraton provided the grains in Ordovician-Devonian rocks. equivalent terranes were translated eastwards during final Cadomian tectonics. The Ossa-Morena Zone Iberia, northern France Central Europe, are thought to be paleogeographically linked West African Craton at Ediacaran early Paleozoic...

geological studies are basic formof operations for the exploration and development of oil and gas fields.preparation of topographical and geological maps and drawingcross section from thesemaps formspart of these operations. existing lineaments in the study area are important, and should be considered in drawing the geological sections. the evaluation of wells stability is one of the important ...

We use three-dimensional dynamic (spontaneous) rupture models to investigate the nearly simultaneous ruptures of the Susitna Glacier thrust fault and the Denali strike-slip fault. With the 1957 Mw 8.3 Gobi-Altay, Mongolia, earthquake as the only other well-documented case of significant, nearly simultaneous rupture of both thrust and strike-slip faults, this feature of the 2002 Denali fault ear...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the kinetics, kinematics and muscle activity in runners with Achilles tendinopathy. DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING Biomechanics laboratory. PARTICIPANTS 21 runners free from injury and 21 runners with Achilles tendinopathy performed 10 running trials with standardised running shoes. Injured runners were diagnosed clinically according ...
