Earthquake nucleation and its relationship to earthquake clustering
Earthquake clustering phenomena such as aftershocks, foreshocks, and pairing of mainshocks are prominent and characteristic features of earthquake occurrence. Because the earthquake nucleation process controls the time and place of occurrence of earthquakes, non-linear dependence of nucleation times on stress changes can strongly affect the spatial and temporal patterns of earthquake occurrence...
متن کاملPlasma levels of interlukin-4 and Interferon- in patients with chronic or healed cutaneous leishmaniasis
Objective(s):In this study, the serum level of interferon-γ (IFN- γ) and interlukin-4 (IL-4) was evaluated as a marker of Th1 and Th2 immune response that influence the clinical course of cutaneous leishmaniasis[r1] . Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 44 cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (21 cases with healed lesions and 23 cases with chronic non-healing lesions...
متن کاملModelling the Micro-physics Underlying Earthquake Nucleation Processes and Rupture
Objectives Modelling microscopic properties of rock allows simulation of non-linear and complex macroscopic behaviour. Rather than specifying a "true" representation of rock at a microscopic scale, models use empirical properties at a mesoscopic scale such that the correct macroscopic behaviour is simulated. The objectives of the session \Modelling the micro-physics underlying earthquake nuclea...
متن کاملEarthquake nucleation on (aging) rate and state faults
[1] We obtain quasi-static, two-dimensional solutions for earthquake nucleation on faults obeying Dieterich’s ‘‘aging’’ version of the rate and state friction equations. Two distinct nucleation regimes are found, separated by roughly a/b 0.5, where a and b are the constitutive parameters relating changes in slip rate V and state q to frictional strength. When fault healing is unimportant (Vq/Dc...
متن کاملSelf-similar slip pulses during rate-and-state earthquake nucleation
[1] For a wide range of conditions, earthquake nucleation zones on rateand statedependent faults that obey either of the popular state evolution laws expand as they accelerate. Under the ‘‘slip’’ evolution law, which experiments show to be the more relevant law for nucleation, this expansion takes the form of a unidirectional slip pulse. In numerical simulations these pulses often tend to appro...
