Abstract Carrying out a Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) requires large number of simulations done at high resolution. Statistical emulation builds surrogate to replace the simulator and thus reduces computational costs when propagating uncertainties from earthquake sources tsunami inundations. To reduce further these costs, we propose here build emulators that exploit multiple le...

The complete genome sequences of three Xanthomonas citri strains isolated from lime trees in Texas were found to belong to the Aw group. All carried nearly identical large plasmids with similarity to those of a citrus canker strain from India and to xanthomonads from Africa and Colombia. All three strains harbored unusual pthA homologs.

Makran subduction zone, along the southern coasts of Iran and Pakistan, has a wide potential seismogenic zone may be capable generating large magnitude (M ~ 9) tsunamigenic earthquakes. Considering ambiguities exist in source characterization for megathrusts like Makran, where detailed geologic, seismic, geodetic data are insufficient, probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis (PTHA) is most preval...

Approximately 85% of Australia's population live along the coastal fringe, an area with high exposure to extreme inundations such as tsunamis. However, to date, no Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessments (PTHA) that include inundation have been published for Australia. This limits the development of appropriate risk reduction measures by decision and policy makers. We describe our PTHA underta...

Uncemented modular cups are the preferred implants for primary total hip arthroplasty (PTHA). Cemented all-polyethylene cups are still popular in Europe; however, the high prevalence of radiographic loosening observed after the first decade of implantation in young patients and the concept of ‘cement disease’ collaborated to generate skepticism about the use of cement for acetabular fixation. S...
