Many volcanoes exhibit evidence of long-term deformation driven by gravity. This influences the development magmatic plumbing systems and volcanic vent locations, it manifests as earthquakes ground surface motions. Two end-member styles are volcano sagging (flexure) spreading. Previous modeling studies indicated that mechanical geometric properties basement rocks below can control whether a spr...

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) has provided a new imaging geodesy technique to measure the deformation of volcanoes at tens-of-meter horizontal resolution with centimeter to subcentimeter vertical precision. The two-dimensional surface deformation data enables the construction of detailed numerical models allowing the study of magmatic and tectonic processes beneath volcanoes....

In this paper, a miniaturized coplanar waveguide fed (CPW-fed) tapered slot antenna (TSA) is introduced for breast cancer detection. Here, a modified CPW to slot-line transition structure with an air-bridge is employed to broaden the transition bandwidth and increase the radiation efficiency. Through these applied modifications, negative features of the original TSA (limitation of transition) a...

objective(s):one cause of cigarette smoking is oxidative stress that may alter the cellular antioxidant defense system, induce apoptosis in lung tissue, inflammation and damage in liver, lung, and kidney. it has been shown that chinese green tea (cgt) (lung chen tea) has higher antioxidant property than black tea. in this paper, we will explore the preventive effect of cgt on cigarette smoke-in...

the association between indoor smoke exposure due to traditional baking (baking homemade bread) and anthracosis has rarely been investigated. the aim of the present study is to quantify such association among the iranian population. a hospital based case-control study was carried out on 83 anthracotic cases and 155 controls (83 individuals with non-anthracotic pulmonary disorders from the pulmo...

Observations of the gravity field of Mars reveal a planet that has responded differently in its northern and southern hemispheres to major impacts and volcanic processes. The rough, elevated southern hemisphere has a relatively featureless gravitational signature indicating a state of near-isostatic compensation, whereas the smooth, low northern plains display a wider range of gravitational ano...

Here we report the 4.75-Mb genome of Cesiribacter andamanensis strain AMV16(T), isolated from a soil sample from a mud volcano in the Andaman Islands, India.
