Shear zones may be classified into brittle, brittle-ductile, and ductile shear zones. The
geometry and displacement boundary conditions of these zones are established. The�…

The use of vehicle bombs to attack city centers has been a feature of campaigns by terrorist
organizations around the world. A bomb explosion within or immediately nearby a building�…

Genomic imprinting, the parent-of-origin-specific silencing of a small proportion of genes,
introduces a paradoxical vulnerability of hemizygosity into the diploid mammalian genome�…

Following the same format as the highly successful Volume 1, Volume 2 applies the
principles of deformation to the analysis of folds and fractures. There are 13 sessions, each�…

Obesity is increasing in prevalence worldwide and in all age groups. In nonpregnant
individuals, obesity is associated with dyslipidemia; hyperinsulinemia; vascular dysfunction;�…

Piecewise polynomials or splines extend the advantages of polynomials to include greater
flexibility, local effects of parameter changes and the possibility of imposing useful�…

Multivariate data analysis permits the study of observations which are finite sets of numbers,
but modern data collection situations can involve data, or the processes giving rise to them�…

In rocks deformed by natural orogenic processes it is usual to find that the finite strain state
varies from locality to locality. In some deformed rocks high strain states are localized within�…

We propose a new method for estimating parameters in models that are defined by a system
of non-linear differential equations. Such equations represent changes in system outputs by�…
