Background The purpose of the current study is to investigate anatomical relationships between the muscle overlying the distal transverse carpal ligament (TCL) and the thenar motor branch of the median nerve. Methods Of the 192 wrists that underwent open carpal tunnel release, a muscle belly overlying the TCL was observed on the distal margin of TCL in 25 wrists and ligament exposure could no...

Lithology identification is an essential fact for delineating uranium-bearing sandstone bodies. A new method provided to delineate bodies by a lithological automatic classification model using machine learning techniques, which could also improve the efficiency of borehole core logging. In this contribution, BP neural network lithology was established optimized gradient descent algorithm based ...

avo as a known methodology is used to identify fluid type and reservoir lithology in subsurface exploration. method discussed in this paper, consists of three stages, including: direct modeling, inverse modeling and cross plot interpretation. by direct modeling we can clarify lithology or fluid dependent attributes. analysis performed using both p-p and p-sv attributes. inverse modeling deals w...

the lithologies of regions, which located near the collision zone, are very different from other geology setting. mapping in these areas needs extensive and exact studies and tools because of the variety of rocks, intensive tectonic uplift and complicated units. hyperspectral sensor is one of the most advanced tools with hundreds of bands that each measures a very narrow range of wavelengths an...

nesar anticline is located in west of country and in north of kermanshah province. pattern of drainage network at each district is under the effect of various factors which has intensive anomaly in nesar anticline in spite of its low area and this in turn reflects different lithology, tectonic effects and slope changes in anticline. the goal of this research is the recognition of influential fa...

Present study was carried out to delineate groundwater prospect zones and identification of artificial recharge sites using Indian remote sensing satellite (IRS) 1D PAN geocoded data on 1:12,500 scale and Survey of India (SOI) topographical sheets. The information based on lithology, geomorphology, soil, land-use/ land-cover, structures/lineament, slope, drainage and hydrology were generated an...

Despite increasing attention to management of headwater streams as sources of water, sediment, and wood to downstream rivers, the extent of headwater channels and perennial flow remain poorly known and inaccurately depicted on topographic maps and in digital hydrographic data. This study reports field mapping of channel head and perennial flow initiation locations in forested landscapes underla...

Soil erosion is a widespread problem in semi-arid Mediterranean countries where irregular, intense rainfall can result in rapid erosion in areas of steep slope, soft lithology and sparse vegetation. This paper presents an integrated remote sensing/GIS approach to identify areas vulnerable to rapid erosion in Almería Province, Southeast Spain. ERS SAR multitemporal interferometric coherence imag...
