Changes in the frequency of intermediate-depth (60–300 km) earthquakes response to static stress transfer can provide insights into mechanisms earthquake generation within subducting slabs. In this study, we use most up-to-date global and regional catalogues show that both aftershock productivity large earthquakes, changes around timing major megathrust slip, support view faults slab are relati...

conclusions our findings reveal that there are temporal variations in traffic accidents, and long holidays significantly influence accident rates. traffic injuries have different patterns on outer/inner city roads, based on weekday and holiday status. thus, these findings could be used to create effective initiatives aimed at traffic management. materials and methods all road traffic accidents ...

The oblateness is a fundamental property of the Earth under stable rotation. Different oblateness parameters can be defined, each having its physical significance. We retrace the main developments in concept as well as in measurement toward a qualitative understanding of the oblateness and particularly of J2, the so-called oblateness coefficient that ‘glues’ together distinct concepts of oblate...
