Local Magnetic Anomalies Associated with Active Faults in Beppu Bay, Southwest Japan.

Nonvolcanic deep tremor associated with subduction in southwest Japan.

Deep long-period tremors were recognized and located in a nonvolcanic region in southwest Japan. Epicenters of the tremors were distributed along the strike of the subducting Philippine Sea plate over a length of 600 kilometers. The depth of the tremors averaged about 30 kilometers, near the Mohorovic discontinuity. Each tremor lasted for at most a few weeks. The location of the tremors within ...

Active Data Selection with Faults and Changepoints

We describe a Bayesian formalism for the intelligent selection of observations from sources that may intermittently undergo faults or changepoints. Such active data selection is performed with the goal of taking as few observations as necessary in order to maintain a reasonable level of uncertainty about the variables of interest. The presence of faults/changepoints is not always obvious and th...

Age and growth of marbled sole Pleuronectoes yokohomae in Kikonai Bay, Hokkaido, Japan

Age and growth of marbled sole Pleuronectes yokohamae werer estimated from growth increments in otolith. The samples were collected with commercial set nets and an experimental bottom trawl net in Kikonai Bay and the nearby waters, southern coast of Hokkaido, from May 1994 to July 1995. Monthly changes in the percentage occurrence of oltoliths with translucent edge in one band and the marginal ...
