Accretionary wedge earthquakes usually occur in the overriding crust close to trench or above cold nose of mantle wedge. However, mechanism and temperature properties related slab dip angle remain poorly understood. Based on 3D thermal models estimate subduction plate structure, we investigate distribution Alaska, which has a varying along trench. The horizontal distance wedge-earthquake hypoce...

Previous studies have indicated that in 2 muscles of the adult rat, the anterior serratus and the diaphragm, the rostrocaudal axis of the motoneuron pool projects topographically onto the rostrocaudal axis of the muscle. In the present work we have asked whether this orderly topography emerges as a function of postnatal synaptic rearrangement or whether this pattern is already established at bi...

The auriculotemporal nerve is a sensory branch extending from the posterior section of the mandibular nerve trunk. Its nerve roots form a short trunk, which gives off a number of branches, innervating: the temporomandibular joint, the temporal region, structures of the external ear: auricle, and external acoustic meatus, and the parotid gland. It also conducts excretory fibres to the buccal...

Freeze‒thaw (FT) erosion has gradually become more severe due to climate warming, and concerns about FT in ecologically fragile areas (e.g., high-altitude high-latitude areas) continues grow. Tibet, located at the Third Pole of Earth, is also a substantial part underlain with seasonally frozen soil subject erosion. Evaluating sensitivity influential factors Tibet warranted manage ecological env...

Abstract Conceptual and theoretical models for landscape evolution suggest that fluvial topography is sensitive to climate. However, it remains challenging demonstrate a compelling link between climate in natural landscapes. One possible reason many studies compare erosion rates data, although show that, at steady state, encoded the relationship rate rather than alone. We use an existing global...
