Influence of multiple décollement and cover rock rheology on the structural evolution of thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belts: insights from discrete element modelling by Eslamirezaei, Nazanin, Alavi, Seyed Ahmad, Nabavi, Seyed Tohid, Ghassemi, Mohammad Reza

“…The present study considers six ternary series of numerical discrete element (DE) models to simulate and explore the effects of mechanical stratigraphy with varied décollement layers, the number of cover sequences and thickness in the structural style, evolution, and strain partitioning of thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belts. Horizontal layer-parallel shortening of particles was induced by horizontal motion of a vertical boundary wall. …”

Body position influence on cerebrospinal fluid volume redistribution inside the cranial and spinal CSF compartments by I. Strbačko, M. Radoš, I. Jurjević, D. Orešković, M. Klarica, M. Klarica

“…IntroductionIt is generally accepted that during body position changes from horizontal to vertical there is a short-lasting shift of a certain CSF volume from the cranium into the hydrostatically lower parts of the spinal space, which leads to transitory CSF pressure decrease to negative values.MethodsIn order to test this, we performed MRI volumetry of cranial and spinal part of the CSF space in healthy volunteers of both genders (n = 22) in three different body positions [horizontal (H); elevated head and upper body (H-UP) under an angle about 30° from the base; elevated lower body (B-UP) under an angle about 30° from the base].ResultsVolumes of brain and spinal cord tissue did not change during body position changes. …”

Hydrodynamics of a Free Floating Vertical Axisymmetric Oscillating Water Column Device by S. A. Mavrakos, D. N. Konispoliatis

“…Three types of first-order boundary value problems are investigated in order to calculate the velocity potential of the flow field around the device. The horizontal and vertical exciting wave forces, the rolling moment, the hydrodynamic parameters, the volume flows, and the drift forces are obtained in order to find the loads on the structure. …”

On species separation in $n$-component mixture under microgravity by Mojtabi, Mehdi, Charrier-Mojtabi, Marie-Catherine, Mojtabi, Abdelkader

“…Recently, we proved that it was possible to significantly increase the importance of the species separation for binary mixtures, under microgravity, using forced convection obtained by a uniform translational displacement of the horizontal isothermal walls of the cell maintained at $T_{h}$ and $T_{c}$ respectively, with $\Delta T = T_{h} -T_{c}$.The present work is an extension of the study performed by Mojtabi (2020) with various mixtures, from binary to $n$-component mixtures. …”
