From widespread faulting to localised rifting: Evidence from K‐Ar fault gouge dates from the Norwegian North Sea rift shoulder
No full textAlthough seismic and stratigraphic well information put tight constraints on rift basin evolution, eroded rift shoulders commonly expose polydeformed prerift basement whose deformation history may be difficult to constrain. In this work, we apply K-Ar dating of fault gouge samples from 18 faults to explore the brittle deformation of the well-exposed eastern rift margin to the northern North Sea rift. We find evidence of clay gouge formation since the Late Devonian, with distinct Permian and Jurassic fault activity peaks that closely match early stages of the two well-established North Sea rift phases. A marked decay in fault density away from the rift margin confirms a close relationship between rifting and onshore faulting. The results show that initial rift-related extension affected a much wider area than the resulting offshore rift. Hence our data support a rift model where strain is initially distributed over a several 100 km wide region, as a prelude to the development of the ~150–200 km wide Permo-Triassic northern North Sea rift as defined by large marginal faults. Towards the end of the second rift phase, strain localises even more strongly to the 25–50 km wide Viking Graben. Interestingly, a period of early widespread extension is seen for both phases of North Sea rifting and may be a general characteristic of continental rifting. The documented prerift faulting and fracturing of the basement since the Devonian weakened the basement and probably facilitated the widespread initial extension that subsequently localised to form the northern North Sea rift, with further localisation to its relatively narrow central part (Viking Graben)
Dermal swellings and ocular injury after exposure to reindeer
No full textHypoderma tarandi, a bumblebee-like fly that is common in subarctic regions, attaches eggs onto the hair of reindeer (also called caribou; Rangifer tarandus). Larvae hatch, penetrate the skin, and mature, leaving the host through holes in the skin in the spring. Among 12 human cases of myiasis caused by H. tarandi reported since 1980, a total of 8 patients had ophthalmomyiasis.1-3 We describe myiasis in 5 children who had visited reindeer herding areas in Norway or Sweden for 5 to 17 days during the months of July and August between 2008 and 2010
Post-Caledonian brittle deformation in the Bergen area,West Norway: results from K–Ar illite fault gouge dating
No full textPost-Caledonian extension during orogenic collapse and Mesozoic rifting in the West Norway–northern North Sea region was accommodated by
the formation and repeated reactivation of ductile shear zones and brittle faults. Offshore, the Late Palaeozoic–Mesozoic rift history is relatively well
known; extension occurred mainly during two rift phases in the Permo–Triassic (Phase 1) and Mid–Late Jurassic (Phase 2). Normal faults in the
northern North Sea, e.g., on the Horda Platform, in the East Shetland Basin and in the Viking Graben, were initiated or reactivated during both rift
phases. Onshore, on the other hand, information on periods of tectonic activity is sparse as faults in crystalline basement rocks are difficult to date. K–
Ar dating of illite that grows synkinematically in fine-grained fault rocks (gouge) can greatly help to determine the time of fault activity, and we apply
the method to nine faults from the Bergen area. The K–Ar ages are complemented with X-ray diffraction analyses to determine the mineralogy, illite
crystallinity and polytype composition of the samples. Based on these new data, four periods of onshore fault activity could be defined: (1) the earliest
growth of fault-related illite in the Late Devonian–Early Carboniferous (>340 Ma) marks the waning stages of orogenic collapse; (2) widespread latest
Carboniferous–Mid Permian (305–270 Ma) fault activity is interpreted as the onset of Phase 1 rifting, contemporaneous with rift-related volcanism
in the central North Sea and Oslo Rift; (3) a Late Triassic–Early Jurassic (215–180 Ma) period of onshore fault activity postdates Phase 1 rifting and
predates Phase 2 rifting and is currently poorly documented in offshore areas; and (4) Early Cretaceous (120–110 Ma) fault reactivation can be linked
either to late Phase 2 North Sea rifting or to North Atlantic rifting
Reindeer warble fly-associated human myiasis, Scandinavia
No full textWe report migratory myiasis that occurred during 1991–2012 caused by the reindeer warble fly, Hypoderma tarandi (Technical Appendix Figures 1, 2), in 7 tourists to reindeer habitats of northern Scandinavia. We also report 2 additional women (patients 8 and 9), independent of each other, who were asymptomatic but sought medical care in August 2012 after finding 30–60 parasite eggs in scalp hair 3 days after hiking in Kebnekaise and Jämtland Mountains (northern Sweden), respectively
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Expanding “Communities and Collections” in the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx) to benefit the K-State Community and Beyond
No full textKansas State University has used its institutional repository, the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx), to store and share its first year experience program, K-State First, and notably its common reading program, K-State First Book. We have done so with the aim that the accessibility and preservation of these documents ensures program stability, promotes engagement with first year programming, and provides the ability to foster growth,educational opportunities, and community building outside of K-State. Moving away from research concentrated repositories and taking a more holistic approach to scholarship, especially when realizing the pedagogical significance of collaborative campus programming, institutions can showcase, discover, preserve, and grow programs that shape campus communities and engagement.
This session will provide an overview of K-REx and spotlight the digital archive of the university’s first year experience program and common reading program, K-State First Book. We will discuss the benefits and challenges to expanding the purview of your repositories. We talkthrough the types of materials we decide to host in our repository and why we share what we do. We will also provide recommendations on new ways to evaluate what belongs in institutional repositories and how this diversity can benefit your program, your institution, the community, and others
