Quantitative estimate of fracture density variations in the Nordegg with azimuthal AVO and curvature: A case study

Based on the survey on deficiencies of ecological footprint model applied on regional sustainable development assessment, modification of the ecological footprint model was preliminarily discussed on three aspects: concept extension, combination with other index, and introduction of quantitative estimate indices for time series calculation. This discussion provided a scientific guidance of applying ecological footprint model on regional sustainability assessment, and a theoretical basis for further case study.

The variation in the structural characteristics (cooling joints and tectonic fractures) of basaltic flows implies potential variability in the intensity of erosion by plucking. The erosive behavior of the rivers that sculpt these areas depends on their interaction with the diverse fracture systems. In view of this, we analyzed the effect of fracture variability in basalts on erosion in a bedrock river reach located in the Continental Volcanic Province of the Paraná Basin, southern Brazil. The 120-m-long reach is influenced somewhat by a possible fault that crosses it near one end. The fracture density and fracture direction were evaluated through field photogrammetry in seven sample areas distributed along the reach. The fracture direction and main erosion axes were also surveyed by remote piloted aircraft (RPA) aerial imaging. Tectonic fractures were identified in the field; they do not always appear in the survey of the sample areas but are evident in the RPA survey. The main erosion axes coincide with the principal fracture directions (tectonic fractures), which are disposed obliquely to the channel flow direction, making an average angle of 50°. The more abundant and multidirectional cooling joints act to control the plucking process and not to determine the erosion direction. The fracture density decreases with increasing distance from the fault crossing zone (from 9.62 to 3.73 m/m²), although the lower value is influenced by the presence of an amygdaloidal basalt zone. The higher fracture density favors more intense plucking.

Preliminary Study

The usages of the FFD analytical method massively are utilized during the last decade, especially in the geothermal preliminary study that can show the prospect reservoir area. This article discusses the correlation of the FFD value with the residual gravity value that is assumed as an indication of the underneath magmatic body. The correlation of FFD value with residual gravity value is applied in Muria mountain. Muria is classified as the volcano body that contains the magmatic body, also exist Genuk volcano and Patiayam hill around Muria. The correlation shows that FFD value and residual gravity value have a relation, but especially for the uninfluenced by structural activity has a low value of FFD. The correlation of FFD and residual gravity is double-checked with the ground truth data, it showing the proof relation. This way of methodology may use for finding the underneath magmatic body, especially applied to the surface that has not been influenced by structural activity.

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.
