Fold-Related Faults Track Progressive Fold Development from Layer-Parallel Shortening to Subsequent Orthogonal Extension within an Appalachian Buckle Fold System: Bear Valley Mine,... by Arlo Brandon Weil, Mary Beth Gray, Kylie G. Cush, Mattathias D. Needle, Juliet G. Crider

“…Outstanding three-dimensional exposures of adjacent folds in an abandoned coal mine within the Appalachian Valley-and-Ridge tectonic province permit a detailed analysis of macroscopic strain accommodation by minor faulting in the lead up to and during buckle folding. A kinematic analysis of more than 900 outcrop-scale faults coupled with clearly established relative age relationships allows delineation of distinctive fault sets and their roles in accommodating strain within a quartz-dominated sandstone and an overlying silty shale. …”

Deformation and movement characteristics of debris flow landslide: A case study of the Shaziba landslide in Enshi, China by Zijian SHI, Wen CHEN, Yifan SHENG, Guangli XU

“…On July 21, 2020, under the continuous influence of heavy rainfall, the Shaziba landslide in Enshi lost stability and transformed into a debris flow landslide, ultimately depositing within the Qing River, forming a dammed lake. To explore its kinematic features, such as velocity and displacement, during the Shaziba landslide’s sliding process and the evolving patterns of the landslide mass, a three-dimensional numerical model of the landslide was constructed using high-precision ortho-images obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). …”

Mechanism of Tai Chi Chuan in Improving Knee Osteoarthritis from the Perspective of Sports Biomechanics by LIU Longcheng, ZHANG Feng, GAO Pengyi, ZHAO Tianlin, WANG Honghao, LI LIU Yinuo, WANG Jiaying, ZHU Xiangyu

“…The theory of sports biomechanics involved in Tai Chi Chuan includes dynamic part, static part and kinematic part. From the perspective of sports biomechanics, the potential mechanism of Tai Chi Chuan to improve KOA includes four aspects: improving balance ability, improving stability (improving quadriceps muscle strength, coordinating muscle groups around the knee joint and reducing the medial load of the knee joint in patients with KOA), balancing intra-articular stress (reducing the peak stress of meniscus and cartilage, improving lower limb muscle strength and lower limb alignment) and reducing movement reaction force. …”
