Abstract Fault reactivation and associated microseismicity pose a potential threat to industrial processes involving fluid injection into the subsurface. In this research, fracture criticality, defined as gradient of critical pressure change trigger seismicity (Δ p c / h ), is proposed novel reservoir depth-independent metric fault slip susceptibility. Based on statistics probabilistic evaluati...

Sleep is known to support the consolidation of newly encoded and initially labile memories. Once consolidated, remote memories can return to a labile state upon reactivation and need to become reconsolidated in order to persist. Here we asked whether sleep also benefits the reconsolidation of remote memories after their reactivation and how reconsolidation during sleep compares to sleep-depende...

According to current models of episodic memory, the hippocampus binds together the neural representation of an experience during encoding such that it can be reinstated in cortex during subsequent retrieval. However, direct evidence linking hippocampal engagement during encoding with subsequent cortical reinstatement during retrieval is lacking. In this study, we aim to directly test the relati...

Bull, J.M., 1990. Structural style of intra-plate deformation, Central Indian Ocean Basin: evidence for the role of fracture zones. Tectanophysics, 184: 213-228. The structural style of the intraplate defo~ation developed in the Central Indian Ocean Basin was investigated in an area (7S” E-82* E, 0aS4i0S) to the west of the Afanasy Nikitin seamount using an integrated data set of seismic reflec...

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe adverse cutaneous reactions to drugs. We describe the case of a 19 year old patient with SJS/TEN overlap syndrome, who developed severe interstitial pneumonia after she had received antiepileptic drugs. A cytomegalovirus infection was diagnosed by Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) detection on Bronchoalveo...

The characterization of heterogeneous fracture patterns in complex reservoirs, such as folds, is difficult, as multiple stages of fracturing and fracture reactivation take place pre-, synand post-folding. Outcrop studies help understand the behavior of fractures and subsequent fluid flow in folds, as outcrops provide both small-scale fracture patterns and the large-scale fold geometry. We aim a...

On September 5–7, 2018, a series of tremors were reported in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja. These events followed growing list felt the stable intraplate region, where earthquakes are not expected. Here, we review available seismological, geological, and geodetic data that may shed light on origin these tremors. First, investigate seismic records for parent location orphan using technique suita...

Remembering a past event involves reactivation of distributed patterns of neural activity that represent the features of that event-a process that depends on associative mechanisms supported by medial temporal lobe structures. Although efficient use of memory requires prioritizing those features of a memory that are relevant to current behavioral goals (target features) over features that may b...

This work summarizes our recent findings on hydraulic fracturing-induced seismicity nucleated in the Duvernay shale reservoirs within Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. A coupled model of in-situ stress and fracture-fault systems was built to quantify four-dimensional pressure changes spatiotemporal nucleation during fracturing. Five triggering mechanisms were successfully recognized seismicity-f...
