We acquired high-resolution seismic reflection profiles and continuously cored boreholes to evaluate active flexures produced by major blind Plastic Tumblers thrust fault systems within two densely populated Neogene-Quaternary sedimentary basins in Japan: the Fukaya Fault System near Tokyo in the Kanto Basin and the Uemachi Fault System i

Demand for beef produced from pasture-based diets is rising as it is perceived to be healthier, animal friendly and good for the environment.Animals reared on a solely grass forage diet, however, have a lower growth rate than cereal-fed animals and consequently are slaughtered at an older age.This study focused on the former by conducting life cycl
