We investigate an outcrop of 187 Ma lacustrine pillow basalts of the Talcott Formation exposed in Meriden, Connecticut, USA, focusing on coordinated analyses of one pillow lava to characterize the aqueous history of these basalts in the Hartford Basin. This work uses a suite of multidisciplinary measurements, including hyperspectral imaging, other spectroscopic techniques, and chemical and mine...

The beeping of the mobile phone awoke Prof. Hod Lipson in the middle of the night. "We found the equation!" his research student, Michael Schmidt, announced. The equation Schmidt was referring to has been known to every physicist since the 19th century. It describes the Law of Conservation of Energy not exactly an earthshaking discovery. Nevertheless, as Prof. Lipson laid his head of disheveled...

To promote oil and gas exploration of the Carboniferous formation in Shibei sag, northeastern margin Junggar Basin, recently drilled rocks from Well ZB6 with typical seismics were characterized. Through systematic core observation, identification marks seismites described, a vertical sequence was established, its geological significance analyzed. The results show that have marks, such as soft-s...

Erythema ab igne (EAI), also known as "toasted skin syndrome" or "heatinduced circumscribed dermal melanosis", presents with pigmented reticular skin lesions with telangiectasias due to prolonged thermal radiation exposure. This article describes a 16-year-old male patient with EAI due to the use of a thermal pillow, and discusses a potential causative agent of EAI. The potential hazards of mis...

Based on the pressure distributions in head, neck, and upper body spine support values, this study aims to recommend most suitable pillow for those with forward head posture (FHP) according different sleeping positions. This descriptive cross-sectional recruited thirty healthy 18- 55-year-old men women mass indexes of less than 30 kg/m2. Participants tried five pillows (viscose, fiber, cotton, ...
