in this paper, bam postseismic deformations during 7 years after earthquake have been extracted using persistent scatterer interferometry technique. the time series are inverted for the afterslip distribution on an extension of the coseismic rupture. the estimated postseismic slip value is 20.45±0.38 cm. most of the postseismic displacement field can be explained in terms of fault slip. the res...

The main cause of decreased mouth opening in patients suffered from trauma is bony or fibrous ankylosis of temporomandibular joint, but other causes such as fibrous or bony union of zygoma and / or maxilla to the coronoid process of the mandible must be considered in preoperative management of such cases. Bony union of the mandible to the maxilla and zygoma is rare. In this report, one case,...

The transition from a Drosophila ovarian germline stem cell (GSC) to its differentiated daughter cell, the cystoblast, is controlled by both niche signals and intrinsic factors. piwi and pumilio (pum) are essential for GSC self-renewal, whereas bag-of-marbles (bam) is required for cystoblast differentiation. We demonstrate that Piwi and Bam proteins are expressed independently of each other in ...

The focus of this study is to thoroughly exploit the capability of very high-resolution (VHR) satellite imagery such as IKONOS and QuickBird for disaster mitigation. An efficient automated methodology that detects damage is implemented to derive the rich information available from VHR satellite imagery. Consequently, the detected results and the VHR satellite imagery are attractively presented ...
