We summarize studies of earthquake fault models that give rise to slip complexities like those in natural earthquakes. For models of smooth faults between elastically deformable continua, it is critical that the friction laws involve a characteristic distance for slip weakening or evolution of surface state. That results in a finite nucleation size, or coherent slip patch size, h*. Models of sm...

abstract tectonic, plays a key role in the evolution of morphology and can be distinguished with morphotectonic, rivers and structural parameters. an analysis of morphometric parameters illustrates that the development of them is associated with faults activities and rocks resistance. morphotectonic analysis also supplies seismotectonic setting for a region. for appropriate and survey tectonic ...

progression in lymphadenopathy, the appearance/worsening of “B” symptoms, and elevated levels of lactate dehydrogenase, as well as histological features requiring a new tissue biopsy. The incidence of Richter syndrome in patients with CLL is 2% to 9%. Most frequently, CLL transforms into diffuse large B cell lymphoma, while in only 0.4% of patients will CLL transform to Hodgkin’s lymphoma [4]. ...

Richter hernia results from herniation of the antimesenteric wall of the bowel without compromising its lumen. Insidious onset and misleading symptoms lead to delay in diagnosis and a high mortality. We report a case of Richter hernia, after ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement which was later reduced and the defect closed laparoscopically.
