Abstract Understanding mechanisms controlling fluid injection-triggered seismicity is key in defining strategies to ameliorate it. Recent triggered events (e.g. Pohang, Mw 5.5) have exceeded predictions of average energy release by a factor >1000x, necessitating robust methodologies both define critical antecedent conditions and thereby constrain anticipated event size. We maximum magnitudes resulting from triggering as function pre-existing stresses injection volume. Fluid experiments on...
One challenge facing dental hygiene, as well dental, education is to identify clinical teaching strategies promoting critical thinking and reasoning. These skills are crucial elements in the practice of hygiene. A two-group design (intervention, n=28, control, n=30) assessed first-year hygiene students using pre-and post-Health Science Reasoning Test (HSRT) scores evaluate effect reflective blogging on skills. blog rubric, based Mezirow's levels reflection, determined if increased level...
