Characteristics of foreshock activity inferred from the JMA earthquake catalog [PDF]
We investigated the foreshock activity characteristics using the Japan Meteorological Agency Unified Earthquake Catalog for the last 20 years. Using the nearest-neighbor distance approach, we systematically and objectively classified the earthquakes into

Quasi-diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (QDI): A fast, high b-value diffusion imaging technique. [PDF]
To enable application of non-Gaussian diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) techniques in large-scale clinical trials and facilitate translation to clinical practice there is a requirement for fast, high contrast, techniques that are sensitive to ...

Diffusion tensor model links to neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging at high b-value in cerebral cortical gray matter [PDF]
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) are widely used models to infer microstructural features in the brain from diffusion-weighted MRI. Several studies have recently applied both models to increase

The impact of computed high b-value images on the diagnostic accuracy of DWI for prostate cancer: A receiver operating characteristics analysis. [PDF]
To evaluate the performance of computed high b value diffusion-weighted images (DWI) in prostate cancer detection. 97 consecutive patients who had undergone multiparametric MRI of the prostate followed by biopsy were reviewed.

Water, oceanic fracture zones and the lubrication of subducting plate boundaries - insights from seismicity [PDF]
We investigate the relationship between subduction processes and related seismicity for the Lesser Antilles Arc using the Gutenberg-Richter law. This power lawdescribes the earthquakemagnitude distribution, with the gradient of the cumulative magnitude ...

Imaging compaction band propagation in Diemelstadt sandstone using acoustic emission locations [PDF]
We report results from a conventional triaxial test performed on a specimen of Diemelstadt sandstone under an effective confining pressure of 110 MPa; a value sufficient to induce compaction bands.

The impact of a and b value uncertainty on loss estimation in the reinsurance industry
In the reinsurance industry different probabilistic models are currently used for seismic risk analysis. A credible loss estimation of the insured values depends on seismic hazard analysis and on the vulnerability functions of the given structures ...

Self-interaction chromatography as a tool for optimizing conditions for membrane protein crystallization [PDF]
The second virial coefficient, or B value, is a measurement of how well a protein interacts with itself in solution. These interactions can lead to protein crystallization or precipitation, depending on their strength, with a narrow range of B values ...
