Field mapping and geochronologic and thermobarometric analyses of the Gurla Mandhata area, in southwest Tibet, reveal major middle to late Miocene, east-west extension along a normal-fault system, termed the Gurla Mandhata detachment system. The maximum fault slip occurs along a pair of low-angle normal faults that have caused significant tectonic denudation of the Tethyan Sedimentary Sequence,...

The late pre-Hispanic period in the US Southwest (A.D. 1200-1450) was characterized by large-scale demographic changes, including long-distance migration and population aggregation. To reconstruct how these processes reshaped social networks, we compiled a comprehensive artifact database from major sites dating to this interval in the western Southwest. We combine social network analysis with g...

Summer and wintertime observations were conducted through deploying horizontal oceanographic time series sensors in a coral reef region of Southwest Japan to assess the existing hydrodynamic thermal environments relation seasonal changes. A significant variation water circulation temperature distribution pattern was recorded Shiraho area between two different seasons. During winter, strong infl...

scorpion sting is a common important health problem in south-west of iran. the present descriptive retrospective study was conducted to make new information on scorpionism in the lordegan county(2002- 2006). data collected in this study revealed that the highest incidence of scorpion sting cases was taken place in spring (49.72%) in 2006. the scorpions which have brought by the pateints to t...

The genetic diversity and relationships among ethnic minority populations of southwest China were investigated using seven polymorphic restriction enzyme sites in the β-globin gene cluster. The haplotypes of 1392 chromosomes from ten ethnic populations living in southwest China were determined. Linkage equilibrium and recombination hotspot were found between the 5' sites and 3' sites of the β-g...

It is valuable to study the spatiotemporal pattern of Japanese encephalitis (JE) and its association with the contextual risk factors in southwest China, which is the most endemic area in China. Using data from 2004 to 2009, we applied GISmapping and spatial autocorrelation analysis to analyze reported incidence data of JE in 438 counties in southwest China, finding that JE cases were not rando...

in this study, a number of 95 synoptic stations of the country were extracted in a statistical period (1990-2007) in order to identify fog-prone areas and dust storms with vision less than one kilometer along with the dust. then, frequency map of the event, with vision less than one kilometer was provided by spline method in roads network in arc gis environment. also, air cloudy percentage map ...
