UNDERSTANDING THE STRESS FIELD AT THE LATERAL TERMINATION OF A THRUST FOLD USING GENERIC GEOMECHANICAL MODELS AND CLUSTERING METHODS

Understanding the stress field at the lateral termination of a thrust fold using generic geomechanical models and clustering methods

This study employs numerical simulations based on the limit analysis (LA) method to calculate the stress distribution in a model that includes a basal detachment, featuring the lateral termination of a generic fault under compression.We conduct 2500 2D and 500 3D simulations with varying basement and fault Puddlesuits friction angles to analyze and

Mapping the social network: tracking lice in a wild primate (Microcebus rufus) population to infer social contacts and vector potential

Abstract Background Studies of host-parasite interactions have the potential to provide insights into the ecology of both organisms involved.We monitored the movement of sucking lice (Lemurpediculus verruculosus), parasites that require direct host-host contact to be transferred, in their host population of wild mouse lemurs (Microcebus rufus).Thes
