Seismic refraction profiles recorded layer. Crustal subsidence and periodic basaltic along the eastern Snake River Plain (ESRP) in southeastern Idaho during the 1978 YellowstoneSnake River Plain cooperative seismic profiling experiment are interpreted to infer the crustal velocity and attenuation (Q-i) structure of the ESRP. Travel-time and synthetic seismogram modeling of a 250 km reversed ref...

We present a counterexample to a lower bound for power domination number given in Liao, Power domination with bounded time constraints, J. Comb. Optim., in press 2014. We also define the power propagation time and make connections between the power domination propagation ideas in Liao and the (zero forcing) propagation time in Hogben et al, Propagation time for zero forcing on a graph, Discrete...

Recently, Tsai et al., Liao et al. and Li et al. each proposed a multi-server authentication protocol. They claimed their protocols are secure and can withstand various attacks. However, we found some security loopholes in each of their schemes, for example, both Tsai et al.’s and Liao et al.‘s schemes suffers from server spoofing attack by an insider server. Li et al.s’ suffers from the lost s...

The schizothoracine Gymnocypris chilianensis is restricted to the Shiyang, Ruoshui and Shule Rivers, listed from east to west, along the northeast edge of the Tibetan Plateau. This distribution provides a valuable system to test hypotheses about postglacial colonization. We used mitochondrial DNA sequence data (a control region and the cytochrome b gene; 1894 bp) to assess the phylogeographic s...

27 We investigate the interannual variability over 2003-2007 of different hydrological parameters in 28 the Amazon river basin: vertically-integrated water storage from the GRACE space gravimetry 29 mission, surface water level over the Amazon River and its tributaries from in situ gauges, and 30 precipitation. We analyze the spatio-temporal evolution of total water storage from GRACE and 31 in...

Settling an Old Debate In their article “Bantu expansion shows that habitat alters the route and pace of human dispersals,” Grollemund et al. (1) have accomplished more than just their stated intention: to identify the role of habitat in channeling the directions of the early Bantu farming settlement of the African equatorial rainforest. What is most important is that the authors essentially br...
