She had a history of well-controlled arterial hypertension and was on adequate oral anticoagulant therapy for permanent atrial fibrillation. Previous thoracic injuries, connective tis- sue disorders or recent infections were excluded. No chest pain or syncope was reported. mmHg in both arms, heart rate Blood pressure was 150/50 was 90 beats/min.展开更多

We will show that the type 1 two Higge doublet model can also be as the effective of supersymmetry in a specific ease with high scale supersymmetry breaking and gauge mediation. If the other electroweak doublet obtain the vacuum expectation value after the electroweak symmetry breaking, the Higgs spectrum is quite different. A remarkable feature is that the physical Higgs boson mass can be 125 GeV unlike in the ordinary models with high scale supersymmetry in which the Higgs mass is generally around 140 GeV.展开更多

Its occurrence and aftermath have demonstrated the critical roles of seismology and earthquake engineering in reducing seismic hazards and damages. However,their existing limitations should also be underscored. This article summarized and reviewed the current scientific understanding of earthquake ruptures, and new insights gained since the Wenchuan event. This study focused on the related challenges to seismology and earthquake engineering as follows:(1) The under-estimation of earthquake risks before occurrences.(2) The current limited data regarding large earthquakes in continental thrust fault systems.(3) The causal relationship between the Wenchuan earthquake and the reservoir impoundment in its vicinity.(4) The identification of low-velocity zone in the crust and its seismogenical role.(5) The casualties and economic losses from a cascade of diverse natural hazards triggered by the ruptures, and the excellent earthquake resistance associated with tunnels in mountainous terrain.展开更多
