Orientation of the eruption fissures and composition of the lavas of the Miyakejima volcano is indicative of the competitive processes of the regional tectonic stress and the local stress generated by the activity of a magma plumbing system beneath the volcano. We examined the distributions and magmatic compositions of 23 fissures that formed within the last 2800 years, based on a field survey ...

Abstract This article offers an account of “toxic infrastructures” as mutually material and discursive arrangements operating in the postwar, postcrash, settler colonial landscapes United States. It specifically responds to Jennifer Scappettone’s multimodal poetic work The Republic Exit 43, developed after author’s discovery that industrial landfill site she grew up alongside New York had been ...

BACKGROUND The association of oblique palpebral fissures and A- or V-pattern has not been clarified. We report two cases of A-pattern esotropia with marked mongoloid slanting palpebral fissures associated with vertical displacement of the horizontal rectus muscle. CASES Case 1 was a boy with Prader-Willi syndrome. He showed A-pattern esotropia with upward slanting palpebral fissures. Severe s...

BACKGROUND Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction using one-way endobronchial valves (EBVs) has been proven to be effective in patients with severe emphysema. However, the selection of patients without collateral ventilation prior to treatment is critical for procedural success. Collateral ventilation can be assessed directly with the Chartis system or indirectly using computed tomography (CT) fis...

We study land subsidence processes and the associated ground fissuring, affecting an active graben filled by thick unconsolidated deposits by means of InSAR techniques and fieldwork. On 21 September 2012, Ciudad Guzmán (Jalisco, Mexico) was struck by ground fissures of about 1.5 km of length, causing the deformation of the roads and the propagation of fissures in adjacent buildings. The field s...

PURPOSE To describe the spectrum of adnexal and ophthalmologic features in spina bifida. METHODS A retrospective review of the medical records of 73 patients was conducted. Data concerning ocular motility, palpebral fissure orientation, presence and axis of astigmatism, visual acuity, amblyopia, and stereopsis were analyzed. RESULTS Forty-three (59%) of the 73 patients had strabismus: 28 (6...
