We present a methodology to derive the growth history of a fault-tip fold above a basal detachment. Our approach is based on modeling of the stratigraphic and geomorphic records of deformation, as well as the finite structure of the fold constrained from seismic profiles. We parametrize the spatial deformation pattern using a simple formulation of the displacement field derived from sandbox exp...

Oxygen, carbon, and strontium isotope variations in vein-filling calcite and quartz cements and their host rocks are used to elucidate the origin, spatial and temporal evolution, and migration pathways of fluids in the detachment Nuncios fold complex, northeastern Mexico. The folded Mesozoic sedimentary sequence contains two regional paleohydrostratigraphic units separated by a unit of low perm...

Advancements in thin-film transistor (TFT) technology have extended to electronics that can withstand extreme bending or even folding. Although the use of ultrathin plastic substrates has achieved considerable advancement towards this end, free-standing ultrathin plastics inevitably suffer from mechanical instability and are very difficult to handle during TFT fabrication. Here, in addition to ...

a dog was presented with history of progressive generalized subcutaneous emphysema and exercise intolerance secondary to dog fight. radiographic evaluation confirmed extensive subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum and pneumoretroperitoneum. surgical exploration revealed cricoid cartilage longitudinal fracture and cricotracheal detachment. the fractured cartilage was sutured and the cricoid ...

purpose: to compare the anatomical results of scleral buckling with or without retinopexy and to assess the effect of retinopexy on outcomes of the operation.  methods: this interventional case series was performed on 22 patients undergoing scleral buckling (segmental or encircling) with or without subretinal fluid drainage and without any type of retinopexy and 33 patients who received transsc...

objective: to determine the sensivity and specifity of ocular ultrasonography in detecting vitreoretinal lesion prior to deep vitrectomy in patients with opaque media. method: the hospital records of patients undergoing deep vitrectomy in a defined period at shiraz khalili hospital were reviewed. sonographic reports given by a sonologist and operation reports given by a vitreoretinal fellowship...

In this research, the effect of bubble surface area flux, Sb, and particle size on flotation rate constant, k, of pyrite (FeS2) particles was studied using bubble-particle interactions. The bubble-particle collision, attachment and detachment efficiencies were calculated under different flow regimes. The k increased with increase in the collision efficiency and decreas...

Soil detachment is known as an important process in soil erosion and its quantification is necessary to establish a basic understanding of erosion. This study was carried out to find the best flow erosivity indicator(s) for predicting detachment rate at low slopes. For this purpose, 12 experiments including 6 flow discharges (75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 ml/s) and 2 slope gradients (1.5 and 2...
