The E-vergent Northern Apennines formed by Oligocene-Miocene convergence and westward subduction of Adria beneath Europe. Extension ensued in the Mid-Late Miocene reflecting lower plate roll-back causing opening back-arc Tyrrhenian Sea. Post-orogenic extension is commonly advocated as main driver exhumation belt's inner domain high-pressure/low-temperature (HP-LT) rock units. Acquadolce Subunit...

In this research, numerical simulation of a symmetric impact of a 2-D wedge, considering dynamic equations in two-phase flow is taken into account. The two-phase flow around the wedge is solved based on finite volume method and volume of fluid (VOF) scheme. The dynamic mesh model is used to simulate dynamic motion of the wedge, thereby the effects of different dynamic meshes in both structured ...

The Tertiary-Piedmont Basin (NW Italy) is an episutural basin that developed from the late Eocene on Alps–Apennines tectonic junction. Several coeval geodynamic processes, including loading and exhumation of Western Alps, outward migration Apennine accretionary wedge opening Liguro-Provençal rift basin, controlled evolution. We integrate fluid-inclusion microthermometry, low-temperature thermoc...

Explosive volcanic eruptions, potentially involving large amounts of magmatic and entrained water, are thought to have been very important in the Noachian and Hesperian periods earlier in Mars history, and basaltic plinian eruptions are likely to have occurred throughout martian history. Previous treatments of explosive volcanic plumes on Mars have simply extrapolated plume models for the Earth...

The composite Albian–Eocene orogenic wedge of the northern part Inner Western Carpathians (IWC) comprises European Variscan basement with Upper Carboniferous–Triassic cover and Jurassic to Cretaceous sedimentary successions a large oceanic–continental Atlantic (Alpine) Tethys basin system. This paper presents an updated evolutionary model for principal structural units (i.e., Fatricum, Tatricum...

BACKGROUND Wedge filters are commonly used in radiation oncology for eliminating hot spots and creating a uniform dose distribution in optimizing isodose curves in the target volume for clinical aspects. These are some limited standard physical wedges (15°, 30°, 45°, 60°),or creating an arbitrary wedge angle, like motorized wedge or dynamic wedge,... The new formulation is presented by the comb...

A universal wedge filter of 15W × 20 cm(2) and 60° nominal wedge angle is designed and placed between the collimating jaws and penumbra trimmers inside the treatment head. A pneumatically driven actuating mechanism toggles the wedge between the wedge IN position and wedge OUT position. The effective wedge angles were determined using an analytical formula. An accumulated wedge profile at a dept...
