In Southern California, plate boundary motion between the North American and Pacific plates is distributed across several sub-parallel fault systems. The offshore faults of California Continental Borderland (CCB) are thought to accommodate ∼10–15% total motion, but exact distribution slip mechanics partitioning remain uncertain. Newport-Inglewood-Rose Canyon easternmost within CCB whose souther...

We study the motion of light in the gravitational field of two Schwarzschild black holes, making the approximation that they are far apart, so that the motion of light rays in the neighborhood of one black hole can be considered to be the result of the action of each black hole separately. Using this approximation, the dynamics is reduced to a two-dimensional map, which we study both numericall...

The concepts of social enterprise and entrepreneurship have been ever more present in public discourse during the past 20–30 years, along with radically different views kind level socioeconomic or political change that these specific economic ventures (should) aim for. Although is often dominated by neoliberal perspectives, which market-based activity as simply an efficient means solving all ki...

Rhythmic sandstone-mudstone-coal succession of the Barakar Formation (early Permian) manifests a transition from lower braided-fluvial to upper tide-wave influenced, estuarine setting. Monospecific assemblage of marine trace fossil Chondrites isp. in contemporaneous claystone beds in the upper Barakar succession from two Gondwana basins (namely, the Raniganj Basin and the Talchir Basin) in east...

Sediment bacteria play important roles in the biogeochemistry of ocean sediments; however, factors influencing assemblage composition have not been extensively studied. We examined extractable sediment bacterial abundance, the composition of bacterial assemblages using a high-throughput molecular fingerprinting approach, and several sediment biogeochemical parameters (organic matter content and...

In 2004, Huai River Basin’s total gross domestic product (GDP) was estimated at 1.05 trillion Yuan, which is 148% higher than 1994 records. It is a preponderantly evolving area in China. The numbers of industries serviced by the Huai River Basin are continuously on the increase including paper industry, production of coal chemical, textiles and food processing. One major industry having unprece...
