TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology is proposed for analysing soft-sediment deformation structures within their overall sedimentological and palaeoenvironmental context in order to refine and improve criteria for distinguishing the action of ‘external’ (allogenic) triggers, including earthquakes, from ‘internal” (autogenic) trigger.

TL;DR: Most of the papers in this special issue were presented at a session entitled “The recognition of trigger mechanisms for soft-sediment deformation” at the 27th IAS Meeting of Sedimentology in Alghero, Sardinia, Italy, which took place from 20th-23rd September 2009 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Electron microscopy and biochemical and molecular analyses showed that primary cultures derived from tumors bearing disruptive mutations failed to maintain the mutations and the oncocytic phenotype, and it is concluded that disruptive mutations in complex I subunits are markers of thyroid onccytic tumors.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed morphological analysis and detailed analysis of the soft-sediment deformation structures in fine-grained sandstone and claystone alternations are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, soft-sediment deformation structures induced by seismically triggered liquefaction and/or fluidization (seismites) have been reproduced with a digital shaking table.
