Gümüşkent (salanda) Fay Zonu’nun (kırşehir-nevşehir) Tektonik Aktivitesinin Jeomorfolojik İndisler ile İncelenmesi
No full textThis study aims to investigate the relative tectonic activity of Gümüşkent Fault Zone with geomorphological indices, between Kesikköprü (Kırşehir) and Yeşilöz (Nevşehir) area. The Paleozoic - Mesozoic rocks of the Kırşehir massif form the basement rocks of the study area. The basement is unconformably overlain by Paleogene - Eocene terrestrial and marine sedimentary rocks. Miocene-Quaternary terrestrial, lacustrine and volcanic rocks constitute the youngest assemblage of the study area. The Gümüşkent Fault Zone extends from the Avanos in the southeast to Kaman in the northwest. The NW - SE trending fault zone is, approximately 140 km long and 20 km in width and, includes parallel branches and en-echelon faults. The fault zone is right lateral oblique-slip normal fault zone and contain well preserved slip surfaces in some areas. Thermal springs and travertine occurrences along the Gümüşkent Fault Zone indicate that the zone is tectonically active. In the present study we performed geomorphological analysis at 39 basin within approximately 50 km section of Gümüşkent Fault Zone. In order to determine the relative tectonic activity of the region, some geomorphological indices as Ratio of Valley-Floor Width to Valley Height (Vf), Normalized Stream Length - Gradient Index (SLK), Asymmetry Factor (AF), Hypsometric Integral (HI), Drainage Basin Shape (BS) and Index of Relative Active Tectonics (Iat) were calculated, and the results were compared with the field observations. The calculated values range from 0.07 to 37.5, 2.56 to 5.15, 23 to 79, 0.34 to 0.74 and 1.26 to 7.42 for Vf, SLK, AF, Hi and BS, respectively. According to the Iat values obtained from the analysis indicate that the Gümüşkent Fault Zone has high and medium tectonic activity in the study areaBu çalışmanın amacı Gümüşkent Fay Zonu’nun Kesikköprü (Kırşehir) ile Yeşilöz (Nevşehir) arasında kalan kesiminin göreli tektonik aktivitesinin, jeomorfolojik indisler kullanılarak belirlenmesidir. İnceleme alanının temelini Paleozoyik - Mesozoyik yaşlı Kırşehir Masifi oluşturur. Masifin üzerinde açılı uyumsuzlukla Paleosen - Eosen yaşlı karasal-denizel kayaçlar yer alır. Miyosen-Kuvaterner yaşlı karasal, gölsel ve volkanik kayaçlar inceleme alanının en genç topluluğunu oluşturur. Gümüşkent Fay Zonu güneydoğuda Avanos’tan başlayıp kuzeybatıda Kaman’a kadar uzanmaktadır. Yaklaşık 140 km uzunluğunda ve 20 km genişliğinde olan KB - GD gidişli Gümüşkent Fay Zonu birbirine paralel çok sayıda faydan meydana gelmektedir. Fay zonu bazı kesimlerde iyi korunmuş fay aynalarına sahip normal fay bileşeni olan sağ yanal doğrultu atımlı bir faydır. Gümüşkent Fay Zonu üzerinde yer alan sıcak su kaynakları ve traverten oluşumları, fayın aktif bir fay olduğunun göstergesidir. Mevcut çalışmada fay zonunun yaklaşık 50 km’ lik kesiminde bulunan 39 adet havzaya ait jeomorfolojik analizler yapılmıştır. Fay zonunun göreli tektonik aktivitesini belirlemek amacıyla Vadi Taban Genişliği - Vadi Yüksekliği Oranı İndeksi (Vf), Normalleştirilmiş Akarsu Uzunluk - Eğri İndisi (SLK), Asimetri Faktörü (AF), Hipsometrik İntegral (Hi), Havza Şekli (BS) ve Göreceli Aktif Tektonik İndeksi (Iat) gibi değer hesaplanmış ve bulgular arazi verileri ile beraberce değerlendirilerek yorumlanmıştır. Hesaplamalara göre inceleme alanında Vf değerlerinin 0,07 ile 37,5, SLK değerlerinin 2,56 ile 5,15, AF değerlerinin 23 ile 79, Hi değerlerinin 0,34 ile 0,74 ve BS değerlerinin ise 1,26 ile 7,42 arasında değiştiği saptanmıştır. Tüm bu verilerin analizi sonucu elde edilen Iat değerlerine göre Gümüşkent Fay Zonu incelenen alanda yüksek ve orta derecede tektonik aktiviteye sahiptir

In spite of, the somali language problem is recognisable in some others factors: lack of state that usually chooses somali language as official language, extinction of many terms in disuse and also the strong influence of English.Cabdirashid M.

Fethiye Burdur fay zonu’nun Kuzeydoğu kesiminin (Burdur-Güneybatı Anadolu) göreceli tektonik aktivitesinin jeomorfik indislerle incelenmesi
No full text*Demircioğlu, Ramazan ( Aksaray, Yazar )This study aims to investigate the tectonic activity with geomorphological indices within Burdur and Yarisli Basins in the south of Burdur. The study area consists of Jurassic-Cretaceous ophiolitic melange, Late Triassic-Early Jurassic recrystallized limestone, Late Miocene - Early Pliocene marl and clayed limestone and Late Pliocene -Early Pleistocene alluvial fan deposit. The study area covers the NE section of the Fethiye - Burdur Fault Zone (FBFZ). The FBFZ, which caused many earthquakes in historical and instrumental periods, is represented by NE-SW trending Burdur, Karakent, Karacaoren faults and NW-SE trending Karacal fault. In addition there are many small scale faults in the area. In order to determine the tectonic activity of the region, some geomorphological indices such as Mountain-Front Sinuosity (Smf), Ratio of Valley-Floor Width to Valley Height (Vf), Normalized Stream Length - Gradient Index (SLK), Asymmetry Factor (AF), Topographic Symmetry Factor (T), and Index of relative active tectonics (Iat) were calculated. The obtained data were compared with the field observations. According to the results, Smf ranges between 1.03-1.66, average Vf ranges between 0.28-10.85, average SLK ranges between 1.84-7.95 and T ranges between 0-0.6. The AF value of Burdur Basin is 60,14 whereas the Iat values of subareas cover Class-2 and Class-3. Geomorphic indices, confirming the other geological findings, show that the study area has moderate to high level tectonic activity.Bu çalışmada Burdur güneyinde yer alan Burdur ve Yarışlı havzalarının jeomorfolojik indislerle tektonik

Simple risk model predicts incidence of atrial fibrillation in a racially and geographically diverse population: the CHARGE-AF consortium
No full textFull author list omitted for brevity. For the full list of authors, see article.BACKGROUND: Tools for the prediction of atrial fibrillation (AF) may identify high-risk individuals more likely to benefit from preventive interventions and serve as a benchmark to test novel putative risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS: Individual-level data from 3 large cohorts in the United States (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities [ARIC] study, the Cardiovascular Health Study [CHS], and the Framingham Heart Study [FHS]), including 18 556 men and women aged 46 to 94 years (19% African Americans, 81% whites) were pooled to derive predictive models for AF using clinical variables. Validation of the derived models was performed in 7672 participants from the Age, Gene and Environment-Reykjavik study (AGES) and the Rotterdam Study (RS). The analysis included 1186 incident AF cases in the derivation cohorts and 585 in the validation cohorts. A simple 5-year predictive model including the variables age, race, height, weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, current smoking, use of antihypertensive medication, diabetes, and history of myocardial infarction and heart failure had good discrimination (C-statistic, 0.765; 95% CI, 0.748 to 0.781). Addition of variables from the electrocardiogram did not improve the overall model discrimination (C-statistic, 0.767; 95% CI, 0.750 to 0.783; categorical net reclassification improvement, -0.0032; 95% CI, -0.0178 to 0.0113). In the validation cohorts, discrimination was acceptable (AGES C-statistic, 0.664; 95% CI, 0.632 to 0.697 and RS C-statistic, 0.705; 95% CI, 0.664 to 0.747) and calibration was adequate. CONCLUSION: A risk model including variables readily available in primary care settings adequately predicted AF in diverse populations from the United States and Europe
First Maltese record of Stephanopachys quadricollis (Marseul, 1879) (Coleoptera, Bostrichidae)
No full textThree specimens of Stephanopachys quadricollis (Marseul, 1878) were recently found in Malta in UV light
traps and represent the first record of this species for this country. Although S. quadricollis is native to
the Mediterranean basin, it is not yet clear if these Maltese records are due to a natural population or to
an interception. Distributional, nomenclatural and biological data on this species are summarized, and a
new synonymy is established: Stephanopachys quadricollis (Marseul, 1879) = Stephanopachys quadraticollis
