Revealing the spatiotemporal complexity of the magnitude distribution and b-value during an earthquake sequence. [PDF]
The Magnitude–Frequency-Distribution (MFD) of earthquakes is typically modeled with the (tapered) Gutenberg–Richter relation. The main parameter of this relation, the b-value, controls the relative rate of small and large earthquakes.

Insights from b value analysis of Campi Flegrei unrests. [PDF]
The Campi Flegrei caldera has experienced several episodes of volcanic unrest during the last few centuries, most notably in 1982-1984 and 2005-present. These periods of unrest are characterized by ground uplift, seismic swarms, and increased degassing.

Variability of b-value before and after the Gorkha earthquake in the Central Himalaya and Vicinity
This study computes the b-value of Gutenberg-Richter relation associated with the 25 April 2015 Gorkha earthquake and its aftershock sequences. For this the homogeneous catalogue of 769 earthquakes that occurred in the Himalayan compressed belt and its ...

Role of Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Differentiating Benign From Malignant Thyroid Lesions: A Prospective Study [PDF]
Introduction: Accurate non-invasive imaging technique for characterising thyroid nodules has always been problematic. Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DW-MRI) is a functional MR imaging modality that quantifies the net diffusion of water ...

Electrochemical energy storage devices run on two fundamentally different processes: charge storage across the double layer and redox reactions. A satisfactory understanding of the underlying mechanism is only possible once the two contributions are ...

Observations of seismicity prior to large earthquakes show that the slope of a Gutenberg‐Richter magnitude‐frequency relation, referred to as a b‐value, sometimes decreases with time to the mainshock.

Spatial variations of Rn and CO2 emissions in the Wuzhong–Lingwu region, northwest China
Soil gas Rn and CO2 in surface rupture and deep-seated fault zones are important indicators for tectonic and seismic activities. The spatial distributions of Rn and CO2 concentrations and their relationships with earthquakes and stress state in the ...

Acoustic Emission b Value Characteristics of Granite under True Triaxial Stress
The acoustic emission b value is an important and widely used parameter for the early prediction of rock fractures. In this study, five groups of true triaxial compression tests were conducted on granite specimens to analyze changes in b value during the

Assessing Earthquake Forecast Performance Based on b Value in Yunnan Province, China
Many studies have shown that b values tend to decrease prior to large earthquakes. To evaluate the forecast information in b value variations, we conduct a systematic assessment in Yunnan Province, China, where the seismicity is intense and moderate ...
