Focused Exhumation Along Megathrust Splay Faults in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Megathrust splay faults are a common feature of accretionary prisms and can be important for generating tsunamis during some subduction zone earthquakes. Here we provide new evidence from Alaska that megathrust splay faults have been conduits for focused exhumation in the last 5 Ma. In most of central Prince William Sound, published and new low-temperature thermochronology data indicate little to no permanent rock uplift over tens of thousands of earthquake cycles. However, in southern Prince William Sound on Montague Island, apatite (U–Th)/He ages are as young as 1.1 Ma indicating focused and rapid rock uplift. Montague Island lies in the hanging wall of the Patton Bay megathrust splay fault system, which ruptured during the 1964 M9.2 earthquake and produced ∼9 m of vertical uplift. Recent geochronology and thermochronology studies show rapid exhumation within the last 5 Ma in a pattern similar to the coseismic uplift in the 1964 earthquake, demonstrating that splay fault slip is a long term (3–5 my) phenomena. The region of slower exhumation correlates with rocks that are older and metamorphosed and constitute a mechanically strong backstop. The region of rapid exhumation consists of much younger and weakly metamorphosed rocks, which we infer are mechanically weak. The region of rapid exhumation is separated from the region of slow exhumation by the newly identified Montague Strait Fault. New sparker high-resolution bathymetry, seismic reflection profiles, and a 2012 Mw4.8 earthquake show this feature as a 75-km-long high-angle active normal fault. There are numerous smaller active normal(?) faults in the region between the Montague Strait Fault and the splay faults. We interpret this hanging wall extension as developing between the rapidly uplifting sliver of younger and weaker rocks on Montague Island from the essentially fixed region to the north. Deep seismic reflection profiles show the splay faults root into the subduction megathrust where there is probable underplating. Thus the exhumation and extension in the hanging wall are likely driven by underplating along the megathrust décollement, thickening in the overriding plate and a change in rheology at the Montague Strait Fault to form a structural backstop. A comparison with other megathrust splay faults around the world shows they have significant variability in their characteristics, and the conditions for their formation are not particularly unique

Increasing frailty is associated with higher prevalence and reduced recognition of delirium in older hospitalised inpatients: results of a multi-centre study

Purpose: Delirium is a neuropsychiatric disorder delineated by an acute change in cognition, attention, and consciousness. It is common, particularly in older adults, but poorly recognised. Frailty is the accumulation of deficits conferring an increased risk of adverse outcomes. We set out to determine how severity of frailty, as measured using the CFS, affected delirium rates, and recognition in hospitalised older people in the United Kingdom. Methods: Adults over 65 years were included in an observational multi-centre audit across UK hospitals, two prospective rounds, and one retrospective note review. Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), delirium status, and 30-day outcomes were recorded. Results: The overall prevalence of delirium was 16.3% (483). Patients with delirium were more frail than patients without delirium (median CFS 6 vs 4). The risk of delirium was greater with increasing frailty [OR 2.9 (1.8–4.6) in CFS 4 vs 1–3; OR 12.4 (6.2–24.5) in CFS 8 vs 1–3]. Higher CFS was associated with reduced recognition of delirium (OR of 0.7 (0.3–1.9) in CFS 4 compared to 0.2 (0.1–0.7) in CFS 8). These risks were both independent of age and dementia. Conclusion: We have demonstrated an incremental increase in risk of delirium with increasing frailty. This has important clinical implications, suggesting that frailty may provide a more nuanced measure of vulnerability to delirium and poor outcomes. However, the most frail patients are least likely to have their delirium diagnosed and there is a significant lack of research into the underlying pathophysiology of both of these common geriatric syndromes

Reproductive morphology and genetics of Carica papaya (L.)

Typescript.Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1973.Bibliography: leaves [109]-116.x, 116 l illus., tablesThis study was undertaken to examine the effects of climate and inheritance on carpellody and sterility in Carica papaya (L.). Sex in papaya is determined by a triple allelic series, "M1m", "M2m", and "mm", representing males, hermaphrodites and females, respectively. All combinations of the dominants are lethal. The hermaphrodite may tend toward femaleness (carpellody) or toward maleness (female sterility). Genetics for the factors carpellody and sterility have not been determined but it has been proposed that 2 different sets of factors are responsible. Changes in temperature and rainfall are known to influence the sexual expression of hermaphroditic plants but their specific degree of influence on several different known sexual forms of hermaphroditic plants have not been reported. Information about the climatic influences on sexuality in papaya will be useful in improving the commercial crop through breeding methods designed to minimize the effects of sexual changes. Three inbred hermaphroditic lines selected for highly stable expression of high carpellody, high sterility, and mostly normal elongata flowers were used. Studies of floral initiation and development indicated that floral primordia were laid down 7 to 10 weeks prior to anthesis at the rate of about one new bud every 3 days. Differentiation of stamens began 7 to 8 weeks prior to anthesis and was completed by 5 weeks before anthesis. Ovaries began differentiating 6 to 7 weeks prior to anthesis and were complete by 4 weeks before anthesis. The 3 inbred lines and their crosses (F1 , F2, BC) were planted in S randomized incomplete blocks at Malama-Ki on the island of Hawaii. Sexual changes of all plants in the orchard were correlated to temperature and rainfall changes from 4 to 10 weeks prior to anthesis for a period of 1 year. Results indicated that sex response to climatic influence was greatest at about 7 to 8 weeks prior to anthesis. Variations in sex expression from strongly carpellodic to strongly female sterile in the hermaphroditic trees were categorized into 7 "magnitudes" of expression. Trees were placed into one of these magnitudes in accordance with the sex expression of the last open flower each week and then placed into "classes" based on the overall yearly sex expression pattern of the tree. Results indicated that plants of the highly stable parents required as much as a 5°F. change in temperature before a shift in sex expression occurred. Plants with sex expressions lying between the parental types required smaller temperature changes for sexual shifts to occur. The response to changes in temperature appeared to be additive. The segregation patterns of carpellody and sterility are also presented. The inheritance appears to be quantitative with partial dominance of carpellody. A genetic model is presented which utilizes a basic tri-hybrid ratio with 2 factors for carpellody (c/c, c/c) and 1 for sterility (s/s) and their normal alleles (+). "s" alleles were found to be epistatic over c alleles when "c" alleles were heterozygous. However, if "c" alleles were homozygous, carpellody would be exhibited regardless of "s". Expected and observed ratios were compared on this basis and chi-square indicated a close fit
