The Betic Cordillera has undergone recent Alpine deformations related to the EurasianAfrican plate interaction boundary. Most of the present-day relief has been built up since Tortonian times, and is related to the development of folds and faults that are overprinted on older deformations, and some of the faults may be considered as out-of-sequence. The combination of geophysical and geological...

The Sullivan deposit of British Columbia, Canada represents an ancient submarine hydrothermal system that formed a giant Pb-Zn-Ag massive sulfide deposit. Tourmaline is abundant in the deposit and acts as a good tracer that may reveal the nature of the original hydrothermal fluids and ore-forming processes, due to its refractory characteristics. Concentrations of Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta, U and Th in tou...

This study aimed at describing demographic information of the deceased resulting from hanging by means of different methods of suicide. In this cross-sectional study, the file of suicide cases referred to the Central Legal Medicine Organization was investigated retrospectively. Of 1681 suicide cases, the highest suicide mode was hanging by 993 cases (57.4%) and intoxication by 674 cases (39%). ...

Decorative painting is an important part of modern soft decoration. Among them, the decorative hanging pictures can convey customer's taste with a small wall area and provide beautiful delicate feeling for space. Customized focuses on theme expression, which not only create overall atmosphere space according to customer needs, but also play role aesthetic The special picture effects such as tex...

We use the L-band Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) and C-band Envisat interferometric synthetic aperture data and campaign GPS observations to study the postseismic deformation due to the 2005 magnitude 7.6 Kashmir (Pakistan) earthquake that occurred in the northwestern Himalaya. Envisat data are available from both the descending and ascending orbits and span a time period of~4.5 years...

Models for the origin and deformation of Himalayan rocks are dependent upon geometric and age relationships between major units. We present fi eld mapping and U-Pb dating of igneous and detrital zircons that establish the lithostratigraphic architecture of the eastern Himalaya, revealing that: (1) the South Tibet detachment along the BhutanChina border is a top-to-the-north ductile shear zone; ...

BACKGROUND Hanging is the most frequently used method of suicide in the UK and has high case fatality (>70%). AIMS To explore factors influencing the decision to use hanging. METHOD Semi-structured qualitative interviews with 12 men and 10 women who had survived a near-fatal suicide attempt. Eight respondents had attempted hanging. Data were analysed thematically and with constant compariso...

Surface movement and deformation with fault differ significantly from that without fault. To explore the mechanism of abnormal surface subsidence induced by instability, mechanical model for slip soil cantilever were separately established when mining in hanging wall footwall. Moreover, based on numerical similarity simulation experiment, difficulty instability was compared analysed. The result...

the massive sulphide deposit at kantienpan cu-zn mine is hosted by volcano sedimentary succession known as the areachap group, in the eastern part of namaqua metamorphic province, south africa. the deposits were affected by a complex deformation and metamorphic history and represent examples of upper amphibolite to granulite grade metamorphosed volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (vhms) depo...
