Abstract Nearby faults interact through stress changes induced by fault slip and viscoelastic flow. The process is, however, often elusive can be geometry-dependent time-variant. Here, we combine geodetic field observations to characterize the interaction of two head-to-head, conjugate in eastern Taiwan during 2022 Chihshang earthquake sequence. We map coseismic on Central Range dynamically-tri...

OBJECTIVES There are currently 94 known pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide serotypes and their prevalence differs by geographic region and the period studied. Streptococcus pneumoniae infections have been diagnosed clinically in Trinidad and Tobago and other Caribbean countries, however data on the serotype and sequence type distributions in this country are limited. The objective of this stu...

accurate calculation of reliability index is very important for the reliability analysis of structures. in some limit state functions with nonlinear characteristic and several local optimum design points, the computational reliability methods may not appropriately determine the failure probability, and iterative reliability approaches may be converged to local optimum design points. in this pap...

paris polyphylla smith var. yunnanensis (liliaceae) is an important traditional medicinal plant of the yunnan province in china. however, the genomic information regarding this plant is limited. to further understand its molecular background, we conducted illumina hiseq 2000 second-generation sequencing of this plant species. approximately 30,198,679 reads with an average length of 202 bases we...

bioinformatics, through the sequencing of the full genomes for many species, is increasingly relying on efficient global alignment tools exhibiting both high sensitivity and specificity. many computational algorithms have been applied for solving the sequence alignment problem. dynamic programming, statistical methods, approximation and heuristic algorithms are the most common methods applied t...

The Conjugate Gradient Method is a numerical optimization technique that finds the optimal solution by focusing on coefficient conjugate. This paper presents new coefficients conjugate gradient method for removing impulse noise from images, which based quadratic function and proven to be globally convergent. Results show it an effective image restoration.
