The map area includes the Big Bald Mountain Quadrangle and the western part of Tognini Spring Quadrangle. It is located south of Overland Pass in the southern Ruby Mountains and the southern Maverick Springs Range, about 60 miles (100 km) south-southeast of Elko, Nevada, and about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Ely, Nevada (figs. 1A, B). The map area, herein referred to as the Bald Mountain area...

A new species, Megatyrus femoralis sp. n., is described from the Koshi Zone, East Nepal, with major diagnostic features illustrated. Megatyrus masumotoi Nomura, Sakchoowong & Chanpaisaeng, originally described from southwestern Thailand, is recorded from the Noring Timur Mountain, West Malaysia. The above data extends the known range of Megatyrus about 1,200 km to the west, and 870 km to the so...

We present new tomographic models of the Nazca slab under South America from 6°S to 32°S, and from 95 km to lower mantle (895 km) depths. By combining data from 14 separate networks in the central Andes, we use finite-frequency teleseismic P-wave tomography to image the Nazca slab from the upper mantle into the mantle transition zone (MTZ) and the uppermost lower mantle on a regional scale. Our...

in order to determine the source and critical areas of wind erosion, sistan plain, irifr-e.a method was applied. according to geomorphological investigations, the studied area consists of the following two main units namely: pediment with 1 type and 8 geomorphological facies, and playa with 2 types of flatland and desert type that includes 9 geomorphological facies. on the basis of sediment, th...

BACKGROUND Snake bites are one of the significant health problems in the tropical and subtropical regions. Snake bite is a common medical emergency in Iran, and the epidemiological features and management of such cases vary from region to region. OBJECTIVES This present research study was conducted to obtain new information about the epidemiology of snake bites in the region of Kashan, locate...

[1] We identify the top of the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) by analyzing the vertical mass flux profile based on radiative transfer calculations employing observed atmospheric profiles and cloud information. We find that the top of the TTL is located at 18.7 km (70 mb). We have analyzed the CALIPSO lidar cloud observations from June 2006 to February 2007, which indicates that almost no cloud...
