Large-offset oceanic detachment faults are a characteristic of slow- and ultraslow-spreading ridges, leading to the formation of oceanic core complexes (OCCs) that expose upper mantle and lower crustal rocks on the seafloor. The lithospheric extension accommodated by these structures is now recognized as a fundamentally distinct "detachment-mode" of seafloor spreading compared to classical magm...

The C-terminal domain of MotB (MotB-C) contains a putative peptidoglycan-binding motif and is believed to anchor the MotA/MotB stator unit of the bacterial flagellar motor to the cell wall. Crystals of Helicobacter pylori MotB-C (138 amino-acid residues) were obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method using polyethylene glycol as a precipitant. These crystals belong to space group P2(...

Neurorobots1 are robotic devices that have control systems based on principles of the nervous system. These models operate on the premise that the “brain is embodied and the body is embedded in the environment.” Therefore, neurorobots are grounded and situated in a real environment. The real environment is required for two reasons. First, simulating an environment can introduce unwanted and uni...

Rowena Harris’ recent work presents carefully composed constellations of materials and almost-repeated images. These constellations inhabit both physical, tangible space (in the form of sculptural elements and digital prints) and digital realms in the form of a video reel and an e-book. Welded steel lines extend from the gallery floor and walls, providing a formal and physical support structure...

A 71-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of frequent micturition, urgency of urination and vesical tenesmus for one month. For the recent one week, the symptoms above aggravated gradually, accompanied with indisposition and distention of lower abdomen. Cystoscopic examination revealed that the blister lesions which were transparent protruded into the hanging and lateral wall of th...

Analysis of deformational histories along polyphase reactivated faults commonly is based on the dating of cross-cutting relationships using relative ages of offset strata or geochronological ages of syntectonically grown minerals within fault planes. However, ten Veen and Postma (1999) and ten Veen and Kleinspehn (2000) introduced a new approach to reconstructing the vertical component of synse...

The distribution of Selenium (Se) in the Jurassic-Cretaceous Mist Mountain Formation of southeastern British Columbia was documented in a previous study by Ryan and Dittrick (2001). As part of that study, complete sections of rock types, including coal seams were sampled, as well as various materials segregated by mining such as coarse refuse and solid tailings from tailings ponds. Preliminary ...

The geochronology of metasediments incorporated to orogenic wedges provides an important key in understanding the early evolution collisional systems. This study reveals timing Variscan processes Saxothuringian wedge, reflecting transition from oceanic continental subduction and collision. In situ monazite U-Pb Rare Earth Elements (REE) geochemistry were performed Erzgebirge Crystalline Complex...

We found a morphological similarity in the distribution of vascular lesions in five hanging suicide brains. The overall findings on the lesions remind us of the venous origin but not of the arterial origin of the blood supply. Morphometric evaluations did not reveal any valuable conclusion. The results of this pathological research may be of clinical importance for the treatment of hanging pati...
