A forward sequence of folding is interpreted in the northwest Zagros fold belt using two new magnetostratigraphic studies to date non-marine foreland successions in the Afrineh and Chaman Goli growth synclines and integrating previous studies in the Lurestan and Fars arcs. The onset of growth is younger from the hinterland to the foreland and established at 13.5, 11.8, and 7.6 million years ago (Ma), spanning from Middle to Late Miocene, although the end of folding is in the Middle Pleistocene at about 1.5 Ma in the foreland front. In-sequence folding propagation toward the foreland occurred at a mean rate of 30 km/Myr with shortening rates of ¿1.9 mm/yr, using the onset of growth for Chaman Goli, Afrineh, and Changuleh well-dated synclines. The greater shortening of the Zagros continental collision occurred in its hinterland with continental overrriding of the Iranian block above the Arabian plate partially predating Neogene folding in the Zagros fold belt.

A 57-year-old male, previously treated surgically with insertion of grafts for type A and B aortic dissection, presented with a pulsatile mass in the jugular fossa. Further examination verified a pseudoaneurysm the inlet of which was located at the proximal anastomotic site of the descending aortic graft and a newly developed aneurysm of the aortic arch. Using a left lateral thoracotomy to avoid manipulation of the pseudoaneurysm, we adopted a hybrid approach by first debranching the subclavian and carotid arteries from the descending aorta followed by endoluminal grafting of the aortic arch. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully excluded Udgivelsesdato: 2009/1/12

Rapid classification is essential in the management of aortic dissections, as Type A dissections require surgery, while the optimal treatment of Type B dissections is controversial. Medical treatment with antihypertensive medication and analgesics has so far been the main treatment of uncomplicated Type B dissections, while surgery has been reserved for complications and persistent pain in spite of medical treatment. Endovascular techniques are less invasive than open repair and show promising early results Udgivelsesdato: 2008/9/8

In this paper we present the new RPC wall, which is being installed in the HADES detector at Darmstadt GSI. It consists of time-of-flight (TOF) detectors used for both particle identification and triggering. Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) detectors are becoming widely used because of their excellent TOF capabilities and reduced cost. The wall will contain 1024 RPC modules, covering an active area of around 7 m2, replacing the old TOFino detector at the low polar angle region. The excellent TOF and good charge resolutions of the new detector will improve the time resolution to values better than 100 ps. The Front-End electronics for the readout of the RPC signals is implemented with two types of boards to satisfy the space constraints: the Daughterboards are small boards that amplify the low level signals from the detector and provide fast discriminators for time of flight measurements, as well as an integrator for charge measurements. The Motherboard provides stable DC voltages and a stable ground, threshold DACs for the discriminators, multiplicity trigger and impedance matched paths for transfer of time window signals that contain information about time and charge. These signals are sent to a custom TDC board that label each event and send data through Ethernet to be conveniently stored.
