Response analysis of the buried pipeline subjected to reverse fault displacement is very important for design, detection and protection of buried pipelines. This paper looks at the buckling behavior of a buried pipeline subjected to reverse fault displacement in the rock stratum. Effects of internal pressure, wall thickness, fault displacement and burial depth on the buckling mode and the axial...

background many young women are satisfied with their large breasts but suffer from sagging due to heaviness. in this article we present a novel modification of vertical scar breast reduction based on a special indication. methods from january 2006 to may 2012, twenty five individual patients underwent operation using modified technique with superior pedicle and vertical scar. young women betwee...

We show that a reduction in vertical mixing applied inside the Atlantic basin can drastically increase North Antlantic Deep Water (NADW) stability with respect to fresh water perturbations applied to the North Atlantic. This is contrary to the notion that the stability of the ocean’s thermohaline circulation simply scales with vertical mixing rates. An Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) revers...

We use Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data to derive continuous maps for three orthogonal components of the co-seismic surface displacement field due to the 1999 Mw7.1 Hector Mine earthquake in southern California. Vertical and horizontal displacements are both predominantly antisymmetric with respect to the fault plane, consistent with predictions of linear elastic models of ...

quake was caused by left-lateral strike-slip motion along a vertical fault plane with dimensions of 20 by 10km striking in the N30°W direction. The strong-motion records from five JMA stations within a distance of 80km are compared with the synthetic seismograms computed from dynamic dislocation models. The comparison yields estimates for the seismic moment, average fault displacements, rise ti...

background pulmonary arterial hypertension (pah) is a serious complication of unrepaired congenital left-to-right shunts. the final consequence is right ventricular (rv) systolic dysfunction and reversal of shunt. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical course and paraclinical findings in a group of patients with pah associated with congenital heart disease (pah-chd). we a...
