Provenance, diagenesis, and depositional environment of Miocene Kamlial Formation, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Sub Himalayas, Pakistan: Evidences from field observations and petrography.

Petrographical characterization and field observations were caried out to evaluate Kamlial Formation in Bagh district, Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Based on detailed petrography, the lithic arenite consisted of quartz (20-25%), feldspar (7-11%), rock fragments (20-37%), cementing materials (11-21%), and accessory minerals. Grains are mostly angular to subrounded and poorly to moderately sorted. The analysis revealed that the lithic arenite is mineralogically immature; also, the current activity during the time of deposition was low. Polycrystalline quartz indicates that the sandstone was derived from metamorphic source, while monocrystalline quartz indicates a granitic origin. Quartz having an angular shape suggests the source rock was near the depositional site, while quartz having a rounded shape represents long transportation. The presence of feldspar in the lithic arenite suggests the rocks were deposited at high relief or cold temperatures. Primary porosity in sandstone was reduced by calcite cements around the grain, while secondary porosity was developed by fracturing of quartz and feldspar. Tectonic uplift in the study area was demonstrated by fractured quartz and mica in thin sections. Field observations of various sedimentary structures were observed such as load casts, ripple marks, and mud cracks, etc. The presence of conglomerates and load casts in the study area indicates that the Kamlial sandstone was deposited by fluvial and shallow marine environment. Furthermore, the ripple marks indicate that the tidal flat environment controlled the deposition of the sediments.

A Mature Cystic Teratoma of the Urinary Bladder.

We report a case of a mature cystic teratoma of urinary bladder in a 17-year female, which is extremely rare. The patient presented with pain in suprapubic region for one year. On computerized tomography (CT) of abdomen and pelvis, a welldefined, enhancing heterogeneous soft tissue density lesion measuring 2.5x2.3x3 cm with mean density of 48 Hounsfield unit was found originating from the superior wall of the urinary bladder and projecting into the lumen. Cystoscopy showed a 2X2 cm growth containing concretions. Resection of the lesion was done with wide margin by transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Histopathological examination showed fragments of skin, sebaceous glands, fat and muscle cells, confirming mature cystic teratoma.

Numerical investigation of vortex shedding mechanism for staggered rows of cylinders.

This numerical investigation deals with study of flow past seven square cylinders arranged in staggered configuration. Simulations to the underlying problem are carried out by using the single relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method. The gap spacing between the staggered rows is varied in streamwise direction from 0.25 to 2 and for three transverse spacing i.e. T* = 1, 1.5 and 2. The complex vortex shedding mechanism is visualized for different streamwise and transverse gap spacings. Furthermore, the vortex shedding mechanisms in the wake of downstream row of cylinders are debated by using vorticity snapshots, time-trace plots of drag and lift coefficients and power spectra visualization of lift coefficient. It is also observed that the secondary cylinder interaction frequency contributes significantly to the hydrodynamic forces experienced by the cylinders. The physical parameters, such as Strouhal number, the drag and lift coefficients and their root-mean-square values have also been discussed in detail.
