A joint inversion of geodetic and seismic observations and prediction of coastal uplifts indicate a compact rupture with a peak slip of ∼3.6 m. The cumulative seismic moment is 1.41×1020 N·m within 20 s of coseismic rupture, giving a moment magnitude of Mw 7.4. The rupture propagated with a relatively high rupture speed (∼3.5 km/s) downdip at depths from 20 to 30 km, terminating at the edge of a slow slip region. The energy-related static stress drop is ∼8.1 MPa. The aftershock distribution and the region where slow slip events occurred show a clear complementary relationship with the coseismic rupture zone of the 2020 Oaxaca event. The high-stress drop and associated deep compact rupture pattern suggest a homogeneous asperity with high strength beneath the Oaxaca...

The Mw 6.5 event involved predominantly left-lateral strike-slip faulting with minor normal components on three aligned east–west-trending faults that vary in strike by 23°. The kinematic rupture process is determined by joint inversion of Global Navigation Satellite Systems displacements, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data, regional strong motions, and teleseismic P and SH waves, with the three-fault geometry being constrained by InSAR surface deformation observations, surface ruptures, and relocated aftershock distributions. The average rupture velocity is 1.5 km/s, with a peak slip of ∼1.6 m and a ∼20 s rupture duration. The seismic moment is 6.9×1018 N·m. Complex surface deformation is observed near the fault junction, with a deep near-vertical fault and a southeast-dipping fault at shallow depth on th...

PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression of B7-H3 and B7-H4 in the 252 samples (126 cases of chronic cholecystitis and 126 cases of gallbladder cancer) was detected by the streptavidin-peroxidase immunohistochemical method, and their associations with tumor classification, clinical grade, and recurrence were assessed. RESULTS In chronic cholecystitis tissue, B7-H3 and B7-H4 were not detected. In 126 cases of gallbladder carcinoma, the positive rates of B7-H3 and B7-H4 expression were 66.67% and 69.05% respectively (p < 0.05). The positive rate of B7-H3 in the primary-onset group was 53.57%, and that in recurrence group was 92.86% (p < 0.05). The positive rate of B7-H4 in the primary-onset group was 85.19%, and that in recurrence group was 40.00% (p < 0.05). Expression of B7-H3 was consistent with B7-H4 expression in gallbladder carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS B7-H3 a...

Earthquake source parameters, including magnitude, location, focal mechanism, rupture process are... more Earthquake source parameters, including magnitude, location, focal mechanism, rupture process are key factors for understanding seismogenic environment, mitigating seismic hazards, estimating earthquake triggering, and tectonic analysis. Traditionally, source parameters are determined by seismological methods. For example, Fang L H et al. (2014) relocated the 2012 Ms6.6 Xinjiang Xinyuan earthquake sequence using local seismograms based on the double difference method, and obtained the distribution of aftershocks with horizontal errors of about 0.1 km, which demonstrates the capability of seismological methods in resolving certain source parameters. However, source parameters determined by seismic data alone may suffer from the problems of non-uniqueness or large uncertainties. For example, a lot of kinematic rupture models with significant differences were proposed shortly after the occurrences of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and the 2013 Lushan earthquake. These discrepancies are m...

However, resistance proteins in plants play crucial roles to against pathogen infection. Among resistance proteins, the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein is a major family that plays crucial roles in plant growth, development, and biotic and abiotic stress responses, especially in disease defense. Results In the present study, a transcriptomics analysis identified a total of 272 LRR genes, 233 of which had coding sequences (CDSs), in the plant pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) in response to fungal Neoscytalidium dimidiatum infection. These genes were divided into various subgroups based on specific domains and phylogenetic analysis. Molecular characterization, functional annotation of proteins, and an expression analysis of the LRR genes were conducted. Additionally, four LRR genes (CL445.Contig4_All, Unigene28_All, CL28.Contig2_All, and Unigene2712_...

The kinematic characteristics of the Jiangcuo fault can shed lights on the seismogenic mechanism of this earthquake. Slip rate is one of the key parameters to describe the kinematic features of a fault, which can also provide quantitative evidences for regional seismic hazard assessments. However, due to lack of effective observations, the slip rate of the Jiangcuo fault has not been studied quantitatively. In this study, we consider the interaction between the Jiangcuo fault and the eastern Kunlun fault, and estimate the slip rates of the two faults using the interseismic GPS observations across the seismogenic region. The inferred results show that the slip rates of the Jiangcuo fault and the Tuosuo Lake segment of the Kunlun fault are 1.2±0.8 and 5.4±0.3 mm a−1, respectively. Combining the slip rate with the average slip inferred from the coseismic slip model, the earthquake recurrence interval of the Jiangcuo fault is estimated to be 1800−700+3700 years (1100–5500 years). Based on the results derived from previous studies, as well as calculations in this study, we infer that the slip rate of the Kunlun fault may decrease gradually from the Tuosuo Lake segment to the eastern tip. The Jiangcuo fault and its adjacent parallel secondary faults may have absorbed the relative motion of blocks together with the Kunlun fault.

To gain insight into the source regime and its relationship with historical earthquakes, we determined the coseismic slip distribution of this event by joint analyses of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar and teleseismic observations. Inversion results indicate that the main rupture asperity occurred in the southwest of the epicenter with a maximum slip of ∼1.9 m, showing a bilateral source process with an average rupture velocity of ∼1.6 km/s, and small slip extended to the surface near the epicenter. The estimated seismic moment is 1.4×1019 N·m, associated with a ∼50 km long and ∼15 km wide fault plane. The aftershocks distribution is obviously complementary with the coseismic rupture zone. That is, the majority of aftershocks clustered in the transitional regions from the large to small slip areas. The 2020 earthquake...

In this study, we investigated the interactions between moderate-to-large earthquakes through ΔCFS over 100 yr in central Italy. This region is characterized by intense seismicity with predominantly extensional components. Hence, earthquake hazard assessment is of great public concern. Besides, earthquake interactions on normal faults are relatively less studied compared to reverse and strike-slip faults. ΔCFS calculations in this study incorporated both coseismic stress transfer and postseismic viscoelastic relaxation, and found the epicenters of 13 out of 15 events located in positively stressed lobes induced by previous earthquakes, confirming a correlation between the ΔCFS pattern and locations of moderate-to-large earthquakes. Next, we estimated the current distribution of ΔCFS on a...
