Determining the relationship between crustal movement and faulting in thrust belts is essential for understanding the growth of geological structures and addressing the proposed models of a potential earthquake hazard. A Mw 5.9 earthquake occurred on 21 January 2016 in Menyuan, NE Qinghai Tibetan plateau. We combined satellite interferometry from Sentinel-1A Terrain Observation with Progressive...

We consider the problem of finding bounds on the value of fixed-strike and floatingstrike Asian options. A good lower bound for both types was derived in Rogers & Shi (1995). We provide an alternative derivation, which leads to a simpler expression for the bound, and also to the bound given by Curran (1992) for fixed-strike options; we derive an analogous bound for floating-strike options. Comb...

The 2016 MW 7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake nucleated on Humps fault, which ruptured across the Emu Plain in North Canterbury. paleoearthquake history of fault was poorly constrained prior to earthquake. To determine timing and single-event displacements (SED) earthquakes we use Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) radiocarbon dates faulted stratigraphy analysis faulting (i.e. geometry slip) at McLe...

The spatiotemporal stress states in the aftershock region of 2005 West Off Fukuoka Prefecture Earthquake are examined via an analysis b values and focal mechanism solutions. aftershocks aligned roughly NW–SE, with southeastern part believed to correspond Kego Fault, which extends beneath metropolitan area. This study reveals depth-dependent region, where (b = 0.7–1.4) generally higher above mai...

Recent studies comparing terrestrial versus aquatic locomotion in animals have shown that changes in kinematics, muscular activation patterns, and performance across media are often dramatic. Surprisingly, however, despite the importance of feeding to the survival of most animals, few studies have compared differences in feeding behaviour between media. The present study compares prey-capture b...

There is an increasing need for secure and fast encryption algorithms to support applications communication protocols, business models. In this paper, we present alternative stream cipher (Strike) inspired by the stochastic behaviour of lightning strike phenomena. The novelty originality Strike stem from utilisation as a source generating random keystreams decryption. consists three main functi...

-While most aspects of subduction have been extensively studied, the process of subduction initiation lacks an observational foundation. The Macquarie Ridge complex (MRC) forms the Pacific-Australia plate boundary between New Zealand to the north and the Pacific-Australia-Antarctica triple junction to the south. The MRC consists of alternating troughs and rises and is characterized by a transit...

Field observations and morphotectonic evaluations on the south of Ulubat Lake Susurluk valley show that dominant active fault pattern consists northeast-southwest east northeast-west southwest right-lateral faults northwestsoutheast normal developing between these strike-slip faults. We redefined in discovered control route River. Based discoveries evaluations, we can claim "bend model" previou...
