[1] The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) define the western flank of the West Antarctic rift system. Cape Surprise, near the Shackleton Glacier in the central TAM, is the only location along the range’s >3500 km length where upper Paleozoic Beacon Supergroup strata are down-faulted to near sea level. Previous studies have inferred a range front master normal fault accommodates extension and rock ...

Architecture of slopeand basin-floor-fan systems in growth-faulted subbasins along the south Texas Gulf Coast developed as a result of interplay between synsedimentary tectonics and sedimentation during third-order sea-level lowstands. These subbasins, or intraslope basins, have not been adequately explored for their slope and basin-floor-fan potential, as have the intraslope basins in salt-dom...

6 [1] We examine the work energy budget of actively deforming fault systems in order to 7 develop a means of examining the systemic behavior of complex fault networks. Work 8 done in the deformation of a faulted area consists of five components: (1) work done 9 against gravity in uplift of topography (Wgrav); (2) internal energy of the strained host rock 10 (Wint); (3) work done resisting frict...

introduction osteochondritis is a joint condition in which bone underneath the cartilage of a joint destroys due to lack of blood flow. then bone and cartilage can break, causing pain and sometimes affecting joint motion and skin around the involved joint might be swollen and tender. osteochondritis occurs most commonly in the knee, but also occurs in elbows, ankles and other joints. decreased ...

BACKGROUND: There is little information about blood supply of the carpal joint in one- humped camel, while there is extensive data about cow and equine species. In order to perform surgeries and diagnostic techniques in carpal region, information about the elements of the joint such as its arteries is necessary. OBJECTIVES: This study aims at describing the origins, arrangements, and branches o...

Analysis of homoepitaxial growth on Ir~111! by scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! reveals that two different phases nucleate. We find islands in the regular face-centered cubic ~fcc! stacking as well as in the hexagonal close-packed ~hcp! stacking. Performing STM measurements on fcc and hcp areas shows an apparent, voltage dependent height difference of up to 6% of the regular layer distance. ...

Unbalance, fatigue crack and rotor-stator rub are the three common and important faults in a rotor-bearing system. They are originally interconnected each other, and their vibration behaviors do often show strong nonlinear and transient characteristic, especially when more than one of them coexist in the system. This article is aimed to study the vibration response of the rotor system in presen...

This paper presents the transient stability analysis of a pressurised water-type nuclear power plant following faults and disturbances affecting electricity grid to which it is connected. The modelled consists various integrated subsystems, such as core neutronics thermal-hydraulics, piping plenum, pressuriser, steam generator, turbine, governor, dynamics shaft, in addition turbine-speed contro...
