Due to challenges involved in mapping the seafloor at high-resolution (e.g., <2 m), data are lacking understand processes that control evolution of submarine normal fault scarps, which cover large parts global seafloor. Here, we use from autonomous deep-sea vehicles quantify local erosion and deposition associated with a pronounced tectonic surface scarp formed by slip on Roseau (Lesser Antille...

In this study an attempt was made to investigate bio pretreatment and chemical process observe the effects in terms of absorbency, bursting strength, wash rubbing fastness, water, energy consumption. Four samples (S1, S2, S3 S4) were prepared by different processes then dyed with two reactive dyes. When compared chemically fabrics, biopretreated fabrics demonstrated improved abrasion resistance...

This discussion aims to comment on aspects in a recent paper by Plint (2014) where mud transport during deposition of prodeltaic strata of the Cretaceous Dunvegan Formation is examined. The author has made considerable effort to look at the grain scale fabric of these rocks, and by adding data from drill core also made a good argument that the fabrics of outcrop samples were not fundamentally a...

The influence of different experimental conditions on the thermal comfort behavior of polyester-viscose and polyester-cotton ring and MJS yarn fabrics has been studied. The results show that the yarn structure and the fibre cross-sectional shape have a large influence on improving the thermal comfort of woven fabrics. The fabrics made from MJS yarns perform better than those of the ring yarn fa...

BACKGROUND Infectious crystalline keratopathy is a rare, progressive infection characterized by the insidious progression of branches and crystalline corneal opacities with minimal or no inflammation. This case report describes the evolution of an infectious crystalline keratopathy caused by Cladosporium sp., which developed after tectonic keratoplasty in a patient with a history of ocular trau...

The Lower Cretaceous Tuxen (lower Hauterivian – upper Barremian) and Sola (upper Barremian Albian) Formations in the Danish Central Graben (North Sea) constitute one of oldest chalk successions recorded globally, but have received little attention with regards to sedimentary facies depositional processes. This study presents first comprehensive carbonate analysis succession, retrieved from seve...

We use the landcape evolution model Zscape to explore quantitatively the development of mountainous topography in the Basin and Range province (formerly the Basin Ranges), USA, as a function of faulting, surface processes and microclimate. Many of the classic morphologies of mountains in the Basin and Range were described in the late part of the 19th century. The varied topography coupled with ...

This paper presents the improvement of the antimicrobial character of woven fabrics based on cotton. The woven fabrics were cleaned in oxygen plasma and treated by padding with silver chloride and titanium dioxide particles. The existence of silver and titanium on woven fabrics was evidenced by electronic microscope images (SEM, EDAX) and by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The antimi...

Traditional knitted fabrics have been extensively applied in dresses and home decoration, and in recent years, the applications of the fabrics knitted by new technologies and new materials also increase in other fields. The conductive fiber knitted fabrics was used in the article, and its electric properties under transverse stretching were tested and researched. Based on the electric model of ...
