Thermal origin of mid-plate hot-spot swells

Space-eecient Hot Spot Estimation Space-eecient Hot Spot Estimation

This paper is concerned with the problem of identifying names which occur frequently in an ordered list of names. Such names are called hot spots. Hot spots can be identiied easily by counting the occurrences of each name and then selecting those with large counts. However, this simple solution requires space proportional to the number of names that occur in the list. In this paper, we present ...

Uplift at lithospheric swells—II: is the Cape Verde mid-plate swell supported by a lithosphere of varying mechanical strength?

S U M M A R Y The Cape Verde mid-plate swell is the largest amplitude oceanic mid-plate swell on Earth at ∼1800 km in diameter, with a crest ∼2.2 km high, and long-wavelength positive geoid, gravity and heat flow anomalies of 8 m, 30 mGal and 10–15 mW m−2, respectively. These characteristics and its location on the slow moving-to-stationary African Plate, which concentrates the volcanism and as...

Origin of the Cameroon Line of Volcano-Capped Swells

Swells of the Cameroon Line, a 1000-km-long line of 10 volcano-capped swells, resemble other volcano-capped topographic and bathymetric swells on the African plate. However, individual swells of the Cameroon Line are about 10 times smaller in area and distinct in being arranged in a straight line, half on the continent and half on the ocean floor. These peculiarities are here interpreted as rel...

Hot Spot Analysis of Zones

"Hot spot" on hepatic scintigraphy [Persian]

Filling defects are often observed on 99mTc sulfur colloid liver scans. Hot spots are much less frequently seen. Superior vena cava syndrome is the most frequent cause of this finding. In this report 3 patients with S.V.C and budd - Chiari syndrome with HOT SPOT on liver scan are presented. Mechanisms of scintigraphic patterns are reviewed.
