Venous Embolization of a Lower Extremity Projectile

Foreign body migration into the vasculature and subsequent embolization is a rare complication of both medical procedures and penetrating trauma. Endovascular filters, wires, and pins have been found to travel through the vasculature resulting in a variety of complications, including death [1]. In the case of penetrating trauma, the incidence of bullet migration into the vasculature is approxim...

A Liquefaction Hazard Map of the Las Vegas Valley, Nevada

The potential for basin amplification of ground motion from significant seismic sources 100-200 km (62-124 mi.) from the Las Vegas Valley (such as the Death Valley Fault System) and Quaternary faults in the valley could provide sufficient energy to cause liquefaction. Key criteria of liquefiable soils coupled with a shallow groundwater table (less than 15 m (50 ft)) are met at several sites in ...

550-Year Reconstruction of Streamflow Variability in Spring Valley, Nevada

Spring Valley, Nevada, is one of several areas proposed for the pumping and export of ground-water to Las Vegas by the Southern Nevada Water Authority. Long-term annual-to-decadal variability of water supply in the region is not well understood, so tree-ring records were used to develop a longer baseline of variability in streamflow and drought episodes. Long-lived (up to about 600 years), clim...
