Blowfly strike and the methods used to combat blowfly strike were recorded on 33 properties in the Rûens area of South Africa during 2003/2004. Data were recorded on Merino and Dohne Merino hoggets (n = 4951) with at least 3 months' wool growth. The following data were captured: presence or absence of strike, site of the strike (body or breech), presence or absence of dermatophilosis as well as...

The northeastern margin is a natural experimental field for studying crustal extrusion and expansion mechanisms. accurate deformation pattern key point in the analysis of regional mechanisms seismic hazard research judgment. In this paper, present-day GPS velocity on Tibetan Plateau was obtained from encrypted observations around Haiyuan–Liupanshan fault zone, combined with 2010 to 2020. Firstl...

Abstract Topography along strike‐slip fault restraining bends is theoretically self‐limited by erosion, block translation and the expected abandonment of bends. However, Denali (6,194 m) Foraker (5,304 are located within a bend dextral Fault system. We reveal role evolution in mountain building with physical experiments scaled to simulate Alaska Mount McKinley (MMRB). Despite natural complexity...

OBJECTIVE To compare the differential effect of custom orthoses on the lower extremity mechanics of a forefoot and rearfoot strike pattern. DESIGN Fifteen subjects ran with both a forefoot and a rearfoot strike pattern with and without orthoses. Lower extremity kinematic and kinetic variables were compared between strike pattern and orthotic conditions. BACKGROUND Foot orthoses have been sh...

The stress-and-strain state of the rock massif and kinematic type faults Vuoksi fault zone (Karelian Isthmus) for latest stage tectonic history were determined by field tectonophysical methods. main information was obtained from geological stress/strain indicators, which mostly represented measurements minor slickensides with (the direction relative displacement) on plane. Near zone, systems an...

Tectonic motion across the Los Angeles region is distributed across an intricate network of strike-slip and thrust faults that will be released in destructive earthquakes similar to or larger than the 1933 M6.4 Long Beach and 1994 M6.7 Northridge events. Here we show that Los Angeles regional thrust, strike-slip, and oblique faults are connected and move concurrently with measurable surface def...

Injury patterns in distance running may be related to kinematic adjustments induced by fatigue. The goal was to measure changes in lower extremity mechanics during an exhaustive run in individuals with and without a history of iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS). Sixteen recreational runners ran to voluntary exhaustion on a treadmill at a self-selected pace. Eight runners had a history of ITBS. Twe...

CONTEXT Stretching exercises are commonly prescribed for patients and healthy individuals with limited extensibility of the gastrocnemius muscle. OBJECTIVE To determine effects of gastrocnemius stretching on ankle dorsiflexion, knee extension, and gastrocnemius muscle activity during gait. DESIGN Randomized-control trial. SETTING Biomechanical laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Sixteen volunteers...

Our objectives were to determine cartilage contact stress during walking, stair climbing, and descending stairs in a well-defined group of normal volunteers and to assess variations in contact stress and area among subjects and across loading scenarios. Ten volunteers without history of hip pain or disease with normal lateral center-edge angle and acetabular index were selected. Computed tomogr...

Lateral escape tectonics mediated by strike-slip fault zones are an efficient mechanism of rock deformation in the continental crust collision zones. The Borborema shear zone system, which shows dimensions comparable to Cenozoic extrusion Indochina, defines a lateral setting Brasilano orogeny Northeastern Brazil. In this paper, timing high-grade metamorphism and compositions terranes involved w...
