On 5 September 2022, an Ms6.8 magnitude earthquake occurred in Luding County, Sichuan Province, China. Based on Sentinel-1 SAR images, this paper uses the D-InSAR approach to obtain displacement field of earthquake, invert coseismic sliding distribution, and then calculate static coulomb stress changes deformation aftershock distribution surrounding faults. Further, seismic structure is analyze...

This paper presents a new Fast Kurtogram Method in the time-frequency domain using novel types of statistical features instead of the kurtosis. For this study, the problem of four classes for Bearing Fault Detection is investigated using various statistical features. This research is conducted in four stages. At first, the stability of each feature for each fault mode is investigated. Then, res...

BACKGROUND Docetaxel, ifosfamide and cisplatin have all shown activity in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). The optimal combination of the three drugs is, however, unknown. Considering the favorable results of taxane-containing triplets as induction chemotherapy in locally advanced (LA) SCCHN, DIP (docetaxel, ifosfamide, cisplatin) was studied in this setting as part of a ph...

Acute cardiac rejection, syndrome X, and arterial hypertension can induce small vessel damage and, therefore, restriction of coronary reserve in the presence of normal epicardial coronary arteries. A characteristic response pattern to dipyridamole (DIP) infusion has been previously described in syndrome X and arterial hypertension: ST segment depression without any measurable systolic dysfuncti...

[1] The uppermost 2 km of oceanic crust created near the southern end of the Juan de Fuca Ridge ( 60 mm/yr, full spreading rate) is exposed in a ‘‘tectonic window’’ created along the north wall of the Blanco Transform Fault. A total of 27 submersible dives transect this escarpment over a distance of >30 km, corresponding to 1 m.y. of spreading history. In this exposure, weakly deformed basaltic...

Stress drop is a fundamental parameter of earthquakes, but it is difficult to obtain reliable stress drop estimates for most earthquakes. Static stress drop estimates require knowledge of the seismic moment and fault area. Dynamic stress drop estimates are based entirely upon the observed source time functions. Based on analytical formulas that I derive for the crack and slip-pulse rupture mode...

The clearance of (125)I-thrombin and diisopropylphosphoryl-(125)I-thrombin (DIP-thrombin) from the circulation in rabbits was studied. When given either intraarterially or intravenously, DIP-thrombin, which is active-site blocked, was approximately 90% cleared from the circulation by 1 min, the time of earliest sampling, indicating a large first-pass effect. DIP-thrombin given intravenously is ...

To validate the abundance of scenarios of large earthquakes in the Nankai Trough, we examined the effects of both lateral and vertical expansions of the source areas on maximum tsunami heights along the Pacific coast and Seto Inland Sea. The recently proposed Nankai Trough earthquake scenario (Mw = 9) has a maximum slip of 20 m near the trough axis. However, the predicted tsunami heights exceed...
