Based on the data of geological drill holes, roadway drifting, transient electromagnetic exploration, mine water inrushes, hydro-geochemistry and water levels on each side of the Haotang Normal Fault, this paper studies the waterbearing capacity and water conductivity of the fault in the Pingdingshan Tian’an Mining Company Limited No. 7 Coal Mine. The results indicate that the Haotang Fault is ...

A pheromone-baited trap was developed to monitor the Indian meal moth in grocery stores and similar areas where visible traps are not desirable. The trap can be used under shelves and against walls. As a shelf mount, the trap is in close proximity to the food packages and may capture emerging insects before they mate. The trap can also be used as a hanging trap similar to the Pherocon II. When ...

Suicide statistics for Britain (England and Wales) from 1950 to 1990 are analysed. A rising suicide rate among males, particularly the young, is associated with an increased use of hanging as a suicide method. The same trend is not seen among females. Death by hanging can seldom be concealed or regarded as other than suicide, so statistics for suicidal hanging are likely accurate. Increased sui...

This study aims to quantify effects of hanging-wall/footwall fault parameters on dynamic responses base-isolated and base-fixed ancient timber buildings. Finite element models a real building with without isolation technology are first built verified by comparison existing studies. Fitting analysis three typical models, Abrahamson-Silva-Kamai, Campbell-Bozorgnia Chiou-Youngs as well 622 recorde...

Suicide is an intentional self-destructive act. As conceptualization of death as an irreversible end occurs at approximately 8-10 years, attempted and completed suicides are rare before 7 years of age. Studies have suggested that media may contribute to increased suicides in adolescents through social learning. Effects of media on suicides were thoroughly evaluated in children and adolescents w...

Two-dimensional lattice particle models have been used to simulate dynamic thrust faulting and its effects on near-fault ground motions. The lattice particle modeling approach has been demonstrated as an efficient way to model the dynamic rupture phenomena observed from a foam rubber experiment on dipping faults. We constructed a 42 dipping fault model to simulate near-fault ground motions unde...

Determining the timing, magnitude, and location of deformation due to the Indo-Asian collision is widely acknowledged as an important step in understanding how the lithosphere responds during continental collision. A puzzling result of geological investigations of the Lhasa Block over the past 2 decades has been the apparent lack of significant Tertiary deformation there. Perhaps the most impor...

This is the first recorded case of rabies in the insectivorous bat Tadarida brasiliensis in the State of S. Paulo, Southeastern Brazil. The infected bat was found in the afternoon while hanging on the internal wall of an urban building. This observation reinforces the notion as to the caution one must exercise regarding bats found in unusual situations.
