Subducting slabs carry water into the mantle and are a major gateway in the global geochemical water cycle. Fluid transport and release can be constrained with seismological data. Here we use joint active-source/local-earthquake seismic tomography to derive unprecedented constraints on multi-stage fluid release from subducting slow-spread oceanic lithosphere. We image the low P-wave velocity cr...

Introduction: There is abundant geomorphic evidence for the importance of groundwater in the Martian hydrologic cycle. It appears likely that the valley networks formed as a result of groundwater sapping [1], and it is clear that the outflow channels are the manifestation of large-scale eruptions of groundwater to the surface [2]. Thus, our understanding of the formation of these features is on...

Creep is an important factor of muddy submarine channel slope instability. In this study, a sub-bottom profiler was used to monitor the continuous internal change in laboratory better understand creep characteristics and mechanism The process analyzed according changes sound intensity. results indicate notable during instability process. Changes intensity time series decrease with increasing de...

Abstract Free surface-assisted TBM disc cutter for rock breaking is an important direction the optimizing of structure. To study influence free surface on excavation, surfaces limited-width opening and unlimited-width were presented, six different combinations proposed. The penetration tests sandstone with carried out. results showed that mass adjacent to fell off after sample fracture. caused ...

PURPOSE This qualitative study explored mobility levels around the home and in the community before and after hip fracture. METHODS Twenty-four people receiving rehabilitation after hip fracture were interviewed using an in-depth semi-structured format: 12 who were receiving rehabilitation as inpatients, and 12 who had been discharged home from inpatient rehabilitation and were continuing the...

This paper investigates the roles of external loads and specimen geometry on crack path selection in adhesively bonded joints. First, the effect of mixed mode fracture on crack path selection is studied. Using epoxy as an adhesive and aluminum as the adherends, double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens with various T-stress levels are prepared and tested under mixed mode fracture loading. Post-fai...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the fracture load of customized zirconia abutments with titanium insert according to preparation depths, with or without 5-year artificial aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six identical lithium disilicate crowns (IPS e.max press) were fabricated to replace a maxillary right central incisor and cemented to the customized zirconia abutment with titanium insert on...

We measure the thickness of the heavy water layer trapped under the stress corrosion fracture surface of silica using neutron reflectivity experiments. We show that the penetration depth is 65-85   Å, suggesting the presence of a damaged zone of ∼100   Å extending ahead of the crack tip during its propagation. This estimate of the size of the damaged zone is compatible with other recent results.

Arrah Charitable Dispensary. Makund Ahir, Hindu male, <zt. abdtit 35, strong-built and fairly well-nourished, a cultivator by occupation, was admitted into this hospital on 24th July 1890, with an incisedlooking wound of the scalp leading into the bouea underneath which had also sustained fracture. Condition on admission.?The wound was situated on the right side of the vertex of the skull. It w...
