Merino sheep, which were hand jetted with ivermectin jetting fluid, and untreated sheep were challenged with larval implants of Lucilia cuprina, Lucilia sericata, Calliphora nociva and Chrysomya rufifacies at intervals of about 2 weeks from 6 to 16 weeks after treatment. Both Lucilia species produced strike rates of about 90% in untreated sheep; the respective rates were lower for Chr rufifacie...

Imnaha Basalt and Grande Ronde Basalt (RI) of the Columbia River Basalt Group form a small synclinal basin immediately west of Riggins, Idaho. The displacement of the margins of the basalt outcrop, of the synclinal axis, and of a dike of Saddle Mountains(?) Basalt define a pattern best explained by a model of west-northwest to eastsoutheast and north-northwest to south-southeast dextral strike-...

Western Aphrodite Terra, Venus, is characterized by a series of parallel linear structural discontinuities 2000-4000 km in length and 100-200 km wide, which strike at high angles to the general topographic trend of the Aphrodite Terra highlands. The broad characteristics of the cross-strike discontinuities (CSDs) are similar to both strike-slip fault zones and terrestrial oceanic fracture zones...

Abstract Strike-slip faults are classically associated with pull-apart basins where continental crust is thinned between two laterally offset fault segments. We propose a subsidence mechanism to explain the formation of new type basin no substantial segment or syn-strike-slip thinning observed. Such “flexural strike-slip basins” form due sediment load creating accommodation space by bending lit...

This paper presents the first control algorithm for the innerand outer-strike point position for a Spherical Torus (ST) fusion experiment and the performance analysis of the controller. A liquid lithium divertor (LLD) will be installed on NSTX which is believed to provide better pumping than lithium coatings on carbon PFCs. The shape of the plasma dictates the pumping rate of the lithium by cha...
