The aim of this research was to accurately measure the surface of the semi lunar articular surface of the pelvis (facies lunata acetabuli) and the variability of the acetabular geometry, as well as to determine the correlation between measured parameters. 30 macerated anatomical specimens of pelvic bones were measured. The radius and depth were measured in the classical way, while cartilaginous...

The occurrence of power law relationships in the spatial distribution of sedimentary lithotopes has been identified in both modern and ancient carbonate depositional bodies. In this study, facies patterns and their spatial relationships are investigated quantitatively in an Arabian Gulf shallow subtidal carbonate ramp setting, using a synergy of IKONOS satellite imagery and vessel-based acousti...

6 [1] Clay-rich mass transport deposits (MTDs) in the Ursa Basin, Gulf of Mexico, record 7 failures that mobilized along extensional failure planes and transformed into long runout 8 flows. Failure proceeded retrogressively: scarp formation unloaded adjacent sediment 9 causing extensional failure that drove successive scarp formation updip. This model is 10 developed from three-dimensional seis...

Trichoepithelioma is a benign tumor of follicular unit. It has been rarely described as the cause of leonine facies. We are presenting a classical case of multiple familial trichoepitheliomas (MFTs) with characteristic histopathological features leading to leonine facies.

Identification of specific environments of deposition represented by black shales has been a traditional puzzle for geologists. The present study was undertaken to see whether sedimentary structures, especially biogenic structures, could be used to subdivide the inclusive term "black shale facies." Because of the prevalence of infauna, modern marine muds are typically bioturbate; only where ani...

Introduction: Recent reexamination of the fan-shaped deposits on the NW flanks of the Tharsis Montes and Olympus Mons has revived earlier interpretations [e.g., 13] that these deposits could have a glacial origin. New spacecraft data and improved understanding of cold-base glacier behavior has led to the interpretation that these features are the depositional remains of cold-based tropical moun...

This paper presents for the first time a detailed study on information content of X-band single-pass interferometric spaceborne SAR data with respect to snow facies characterization. An approach for classifying different snow facies of the Greenland Ice Sheet by exploiting X-band TanDEM-X interferometric synthetic aperture radar acquisitions is firstly detailed. Large-scale mosaics of radar bac...

This research successfully extends a deterministic, physically-based inverse theory that is capable of simultaneous parameter and boundary condition estimation to uncertainty quantification in inverting steady-state groundwater flow in a two-dimensional aquifer with facies heterogeneity. Using facies and dynamic flow measurements sampled at wells as observations, a stochastic subsurface data in...
