[1] Floor-Fractured Craters (FFCs) are a class of lunar craters characterized by anomalously shallow floors cut by radial, concentric, and/or polygonal fractures; additional interior features are moats, ridges, and patches of mare material. Two formation mechanisms have been hypothesized—floor uplift in response to shallow magmatic intrusion and sill formation, and floor shallowing in response ...

Abstract This paper presents new laboratory-scale numerical simulations of density-driven exchange flows generated across an idealised, submerged sill obstruction under both non-rotating and rotating frames reference using the Bergen Ocean Model (BOM), a three-dimensional general ocean circulation model. Initial BOM are compared directly with previous laboratory data obtained in large-scale cha...

Fjords play an important role in carbon cycling and sequestration, but the burial of organic matter sediments strongly depends on composition macrobenthic communities. We studied three deep, sub-Arctic fjords located northern Norway to assess community differentiation neighbouring underlying environmental drivers. The have relatively deep depositional basins (370–570 m), they differ sill depth ...

OBJECTIVES To simplify the approach and diagnosis of alar base reduction, suggest a treatment algorithm, and evaluate the long-term outcomes of 3 different techniques used separately or in conjunction with one another. DESIGN Retrospective review of 124 patients seen in a private practice by a single surgeon. Patients ranged in age from 15 to 59 years (mean age, 30.4 years). Patients were und...

[1] The Sulu Sea, isolated from the neighboring ocean below 570 m, is nearly isothermal below 1250 m but with a marked salinity increase with depth. The source of the deep Sulu Sea water has been attributed to South China Sea water overflowing the 570 m topographic sill of Panay Strait. However, the Panay overflow (estimated as 0.32 × 10 m/sec) is an unlikely source for the saltier water Sulu S...
