STUDY OF BLIND THRUST FAULTS UNDERLYING TOKYO AND OSAKA URBAN AREAS USING A COMBINATION OF HIGH-RESOLUTION SEISMIC REFLECTION PROFILING AND CONTINUOUS CORING

Study of blind thrust faults underlying Tokyo and Osaka urban areas using a combination of high-resolution seismic reflection profiling and continuous coring

We acquired high-resolution seismic reflection profiles and continuously cored boreholes to evaluate active flexures produced by major blind grateful dead silicone mold thrust fault systems within two densely populated Neogene-Quaternary sedimentary basins in Japan: the Fukaya Fault System near Tokyo in the Kanto Basin and the Uemachi Fau

Improving cause of death certification in the Philippines: implementation of an electronic verbal autopsy decision support tool (SmartVA auto-analyse) to aid physician diagnoses of out-of-facility deaths

Abstract Background The majority of deaths in the Philippines occur out-of-facility and require a medical certificate of cause of death by Municipal Health Officers (MHOs) for burial.MHOs lack a standardised certification process for out-of-facility deaths and when no medical records are available, certify a high proportion of ill-defined causes of

Mechanical characterization data of polyacrylamide hydrogel formulations and 3D printed PLA for application in human head phantoms

To study human traumatic brain injury (TBI) mechanics, a realistic surrogate must be developed for testing in impact experiments.In this data brief, materials used to simulate brain tissue and skull are characterized for application in a full-scale human head phantom.Polyacrylamide hydrogels are implemented as tissue scaffolds and tissue mimics bec
