Coseismic deformation fields of the 6 October 2008 Mw6.3 Damxung earthquake were obtained from interferometric synthetic aperture radar by using three descending and two ascending Envisat images. Significant coseismic surface deformation occurred within 20 km 9 20 km of the epicenter with a maximum displacement of *0.3 m along the satellite line of sight. We model a linear elastic dislocation i...

A destructive earthquake (Mw 6.1) struck Pasaman, West Sumatra, Indonesia, on 25 February 2022, resulting in at least 18 deaths and damage to 1765 buildings. Our relocated foreshock, mainshock, aftershocks their source mechanisms reveal a previously unknown ∼20 km long segment of the Sumatran Fault as result dextral strike-slip motion (strike N132oE dip 72oSW) along what we have called Kajai Fa...

Large earthquakes are usually modeled with simple planar fault surfaces or a combination of several segments. However, in general, occur on faults that non-planar and exhibit significant geometrical variations both the along-strike down-dip directions at all spatial scales. Mapping surface ruptures high-resolution geodetic observations increasingly revealing complex geometries near accurate loc...

Analysis of deformational histories along polyphase reactivated faults commonly is based on the dating of cross-cutting relationships using relative ages of offset strata or geochronological ages of syntectonically grown minerals within fault planes. However, ten Veen and Postma (1999) and ten Veen and Kleinspehn (2000) introduced a new approach to reconstructing the vertical component of synse...

We re-investigated the surface deformation of the Kleifarvatn earthquake on Reykjanes Peninsula, an event that was dynamically triggered by a moderatesize magnitude 6.5 earthquake 80 km away on 17 June 2000. Two ERS-2 interferograms from descending and ascending tracks were formed and used in combination with campaign GPS measurements to invert for the source parameters of rectangular faults fo...

The Noda area in the Hokusatsu District, southwest Kyushu is underlain by the Imanokoba, the Ikenodan and the Ogakura Formations of the Cretaceous Shimanto Supergroup. The Imanokoba Formation comprises beds of sandstone and mudstone. The beds generally trend NE-SW and dip in a moderate to steep angles to the east or west. The Ikenodan Formation comprises beds of sandstone, mudstone, siliceous m...

Small-molecule photovoltaic cells using diindenoperylene (DIP) as a new donor material in combination with the fullerene C 60 as an electron acceptor are demonstrated. In addition to the successful application in planar and bulk heterojunction devices, a comprehensive analysis including structural studies, the determination of the energy level alignment and electrical transport investigations i...

Abstract Since the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku-oki earthquake, intra-plate normal-faulting earthquakes, including several M7-class have occurred in outer trench slope area from to rise along Japan Trench. Concerns regarding large earthquakes and associated tsunamis also arisen. Based on aftershock distributions, (hereinafter referred as outer-rise earthquakes) are likely related rupture of multiple faul...

ardekoul fault zone which is along nnw-sse is located in eastern iran and northern part of the sistan subzone. dextral strike-slip fault zone of ardekuol is made of six main segments including korizan (28 km), bohn abad (8.8 km), abiz (32 km), gazkoon (20 km), moein abad (30.4 km), ghal maran (12 km), and two minor segments including olang morgh (12.8 km) and seh pestan (9.6 km).  the studied r...

Polymyositis is characterised by an inflammatory reaction in skeletal muscle with a variable degree of muscular weakness and associated with skin lesions in the case of dermatomyositis. Involvement of the muscles of deglutition and the diaphragm may lead to inhalation pneumonia and acute or chronic respiratory failure, often hypercapnic. The other respiratory manifestations are diffuse intersti...
