Dilatant strengthening as a mechanism for slow slip events

[1] The mechanics of slow slip events (SSE) in subduction zones remain unresolved. We suggest that SSE nucleate in areas of unstable friction under drained conditions, but as slip accelerates dilatancy reduces pore pressure p quenching instability. Competition between dilatant strengthening and thermal pressurization may control whether slip is slow or fast. We model SSE with 2‐D elasticity, ra...

Major intracontinental strike-slip faults and contrasts in lithospheric strength

A large fraction of major intracontinental strike-slip faults, defi ned here as those slipping at rates of ~10 mm/yr or more, lie adjacent to relatively strong regions, such as oceanic lithosphere or Precambrian shields. We suggest that such faults form adjacent to discontinuities in strength, because strain in a continuous medium must concentrate near such strong objects. Concentration in stra...

Detecting Communities over Large Scale Graph Structure Data using MapReduce

With the appearances of the internet there is growing interest in executing analysis tasks over large scale graph structure data. This task includes processing of subgraph or multi-hop neighborhoods in graph. Examples of these graphs include identifying social circles, modified recommendation, Anomaly finding, link prediction and so on. These works are not well served by the vertex centric appr...
