Because sleep comprises one-third of a person's life, using an optimal pillow for appropriate neck support to maintain cervical curve may contribute to improve quality of sleep. Design of orthopedic pillow conforms to orthopedic guidelines to ensure the right support of the cervical curve. The aim of this study was to investigate effect of different pillow shape and content on cervical curve, p...

A critical element in the construction of tectonic models exhumation basalts that have undergone high-pressure metamorphism is diagnosis synchronicity and genetic relationship between deformations metamorphic changes. In this report, these issues are discussed on example metabasalts Chara ophiolite belt. bottom basalt block with separation pillow lavas near Burshabulak farm, crack-vein systems ...

A random allocation single blind block design pillow field study was undertaken to investigate the behaviour of cervico-thoracic spine pain in relation to pillow use. Participants (N=106) who reported preference for side sleep position with one pillow were recruited via a telephone survey and newspaper advertisement. They recorded sleep quality and pillow comfort ratings, frequency of retiring ...

Porosity and permeability are key controls on hydrothermal circulation alteration in magmatically heated upper oceanic crust. However, the hydraulic properties of basalts altered above 200°C largely unknown, leaving their role high-temperature systems unclear. Here, we assess rock-matrix porosities permeabilities pervasively MORB-like from outcrops sheeted dikes axial lavas Semail ophiolite, Om...

Melt supply at the ultraslow-spreading Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR) has been shown to vary from nearly amagmatic, leading ultramafic seafloor, magmatically robust, producing fully volcanic seafloor. The center of SWIR 50°28′E segment represents a robust endmember. High-resolution bathymetry and backscatter, near-bottom magnetic data, visual observations were acquired infer spatiotemporal varia...
