Book excerpt: This study focuses on sub-parallel, clast-scale fracture patterns within conglomerates of Eocene-Miocene synextensional sedimentary strata of the Titus Canyon Formation in the Grapevine and Funeral Mountains of southwestern Nevada and southeastern California. Features including shear fractures and pressure solution depressions, cross-cut by subsequent point-contact deformation and sub-parallel fractures, have also proven to be essential in a understanding the mechanism that produces this systematic deformation. We propose that clast deformation occurs in 2 phases. Phase 1 involves pressure solution processes. Pressure solution depressions are recognized as shallow features that begin to develop at relatively low temperatures of 90±10°C and depths of approximately 2-5 km. With rapid uplift and erosion, Phase 2 conditions emerge and lead to sub-parallel fracture processes. Modeling clasts as Eshelby inclusions with an internally uniform stress field, imply that sub-parallel fracturing occurs with minimum confining pressure in the range of 2 to 30 MPa. This corresponds to relatively shallow depths of less than 1250 meters. With progressive deformation from the same remote stress during Phase 2 conditions, shear factures coalesce from sub-parallel fractures. Through kinematic analysis, we infer strain field orientations consistent with a minimum compressive stress in a NW/SE orientation. Further analysis of shear fractures and slickenlines implies a maximum compressive stress near 225°, 50° SW. Investigation of units below the Titus Canyon Formation show slickenlines with similar orientations that cross-cut ductile fabrics below regional detachments. Units above the Titus Canyon Formation suggest that conditions leading to sub-parallel fractures were either no longer present by Late Miocene time or that younger units were deposited during deformation, but were not exposed to the appropriate conditions required to induce fracturing. Altogether, these data suggest a common source for the stress field responsible for the deformation. Our estimates imply a stress field with a maximum compressive stress oriented near normal to the orientation of sub-parallel regional detachments. This possibly indicate the influence of near-field stresses associated with brittle rupture events on the fault as it was exhumed, or some other driving stress oriented in a similar orientation. We propose the Boundary Canyon detachment fault and Monarch Spring fault as likely candidate sources of this stress field.

Book excerpt: This work offers a lively approach to the business phenomenon of the break up of multi-business companies. It argues that the case for conglomerates is unproven, and that the break up is the most dynamic of the business trends to have emerged in the 1990s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to prevent corporate scandals and fix good companies that do wrong The news media is replete with stories of corporate scandal, corruption and misdeeds. The need for effective crisis management and corporate governance strategies has never been greater. Broken Business explains why corporate scandals happen, what to do when scandals arise in your company, and how to prevent their future occurrence. Offering real-world anecdotes and solutions, this book details how corporations can mitigate the risk of scandal, reform corporate image and install structures to create a more ethical and profitable company. This insightful resource dispels common misconceptions of corporate misconduct and its causes through fascinating research into human nature, and compelling storytelling that demonstrates fundamental flaws in corporate culture. Author José Hernandez draws on decades of experience working with high-profile global corporations to present seven essential steps for transforming a company, including building a better culture, more effective compliance systems and re-focusing the strategy. This book allows you to: Examine current and highly publicized cases of corporate scandal and their impact on corporate credibility Employ practical methods to rehabilitate your corporation’s public image Implement managerial frameworks to quickly address cases of misconduct Promote a culture of compliance and integrity to encourage good conduct in your corporate environment At its core, this book is a simple, engaging “how to” guide that offers practical advice on institutionalizing integrity in any organization. Broken Business: Seven Steps to Reform Good Companies Gone Bad is an essential text for leaders seeking a concise review at how things can go wrong, how to deal with scandal fallout and how to ultimately become a better company.

This book was released on 2003-11-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume arises from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on 'North African Cretaceous rudist and coral formations and their contributions to carbonate platform development , which was held in Tunisia, on 13-18 May, 2002. It was convened by M. El Hedi Negra (Universite 7 Novembre de Carthage, now Universite de Tunis El Manar, Tunisia) and Eulalia Gili (Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain). The aims of the ARW were: (1) to review and critically assess currently available data on rudist/coral formations in North African Cretaceous carbonate platforms, and their correlations, and to integrate these data with other studies around the Mediterranean; (2) to place the findings in a global context, noting both similarities with other regions of platform development as well as local differences, and (3) exploring possible reasons for these; and to help promote the creation of a vibrant peri-Mediterranean collaborative research community, embracing researchers from the entire region, to carry forward this ambitious research programme. Twenty-two presentations (oral and poster) provided both topical reviews (covering rudist evolution, and ecology, mineralogical changes, applications of strontium isotope, and graphic correlation methods, and platform typology) as well as regional syntheses (Tunisian reservoirs, Moroccan platform history, Tunisian platforms and rudist/coral facies, Algerian platforms, and Egyptian platforms). Fifteen of these presentations are expanded here as papers. The workshop was attended by 24 academic staff, 4 geologists from the oil industry, plus several observers and students.

This book was released on 2015-08-19 with total page 994 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The superior goal of the gebo research association was making important contributions for the future reliable drilling under the existing “hot-hard-rock” conditions in Niedersachsen and their development to the geothermal drillings with sustainable geological subsurface heat exchangers. This goal should be achieved due to the solid research and innovative technology approaches in their combination within one concept for pioneering methods in deep geothermal drillings in hard rock, to be more exact - in interdisciplinary cooperation on engineers and scientists - in cooperation between industry and University, researchers and users Gebo research association comprised scientists and technicians of different research institutions and universities who are working in 33 projects. The individual projects were assigned to one of the 4 main research fields or focus areas. Gebo research association started its activities with 7 project partners participating: - Technische Universität Braunschweig (TUBS) - Technische Universität Clausthal (TUC) - Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover (LUH) - Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (UGOE) - Leibniz-Institut für Angewandte Geophysik (LIAG) - Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR) - Energie-Forschungszentrum Niedersachsen (EFZN) Baker Hughes, an industrial partner, participated in the association and supplies it with its experience and additional funds.
