Slow slip events (SSEs) are another mode of fault deformation than the fast faulting of regular earthquakes. Such transient episodes have been observed at plate boundaries in a number of subduction zones around the globe. The SSEs near the Boso Peninsula, central Japan, are among the most documented SSEs, with the longest repeating history, of almost 30 y, and have a recurrence interval of 5 to...

Expert system technology provides a new opportunity for organising and systematising the available knowledge and experience in the structural selection domain. Computerisation, in general, and expert system technology, in particular, can provide assistance for the engineers by giving much greater access to information, knowledge and expertise and by processing this information. This paper prese...

The accuracy of the secondary structure element (SSE) identification from volumetric protein density maps is critical for de-novo backbone structure derivation in electron cryo-microscopy (cryoEM). It is still challenging to detect the SSE automatically and accurately from the density maps at medium resolutions (∼5-10 Å). We present a machine learning approach, SSELearner, to automatically iden...

This study examines whether changing the reporting location of OCI from the Statement of Changes in Equity (SSE) to a combined Income Statement or a separate Statement of Comprehensive Income (SCI), as required by Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 201105, has affected the value relevance of OCI. Using manually collected data, we find that the value relevance of OCI decreased for firms that chang...

We evaluate the impacts of using multi-level modulation formats on the transmission capacity of the multi-core fiber (MCF) having trench-assisted index profile and hexagonal layout. For this evaluation, we utilize the spectral efficiency per unit area, defined as the spatial spectral efficiency (SSE). The results show that the SSE improvement achievable by using the higher-level modulation form...

BACKGROUND In patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) without ST segment elevation (SSE), it is suggested that a series of markers (inflammatory cells, hyperglycemia and renal function) can identify individuals with increased risk for cardiovascular events. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of these laboratory parameters on intra-hospital outcomes of patients with ACS with no SSE. METHO...

Recent studies have found that temporal variability and reactivity in self-esteem (SE) are associated with risk for depressive symptoms subsequent to life stress. It is unclear, however, whether it is variability uniquely in SE that is critical, or whether variability in other domains, such as specific self-evaluation (SSE) and affect, would show similar effects. Further, the specificity of the...

Do non-Markovian diffusive stochastic Schrödinger equations (SSEs) for open quantum systems have a physical interpretation? In a recent paper we investigated this question using the orthodox interpretation of quantum mechanics [phys. Rev. A 66, 012108 (2002)] . We found that the solution of a non-Markovian SSE at time t represents the state the system would be in at that time if a measurement w...

In previous research, hands-crossed versions of a social variant of the Simon task were used to distinguish between effector-based coding of the Social Simon effect (SSE, analogously to the standard Simon effect) or body-based coding, in which the coding of stimulus location and seating position of the participants functions as a spatial reference frame. In the present study, the analysis of th...

Development of a protection profile under the Common Criteria is a demanding task, requiring difficult engineering decisions, complex analyses, and detailed knowledge about the intended environment and use for a product or system. We believe that building a protection profile is essentially a security engineering problem and is best approached by applying the Systems Security Engineering Capabi...
