Rapid estimation of tsunami earthquake magnitudes at local distance

Earth, Planets and Space, 2021
A tsunami earthquake is an earthquake event that generates abnormally high tsunami waves considering the amplitude of the seismic waves. These abnormally high waves relative to the seismic wave amplitude are related to the longer rupture duration of such

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

中国青藏高原M≥6.0地震的辐射能量测定

Dizhen xuebao
地震辐射能量主要由高频体波携带，与震源动态特征直接相关，能够有效地弥补地震矩和矩震级对震源动态过程和高频成分描述的不足，为地震应急和灾害评估提供更为全面的参考。本文使用自主研发的地震辐射能量测定软件测定了中国青藏高原自1990年以来M≥6.0浅源地震的地震辐射能量，并初步分析了中国青藏高原地区浅源地震的能量释放规律。研究结果表明：① 利用该软件测定的中国青藏高原地区的34例浅源地震所得的测定结果稳定可靠。在一般情况下，地震的矩震级MW 与能量震级Me并不相等，为了更全面地评估地震动效应 ...

Magnitude analysis of aftershocks of the Mw 9.3 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake recorded at the temporary PSU Seismic Station in Phang nga, Thailand [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2008
After the Mw 9.3 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake on 26 December 2004, a temporary broadband seismic station was set up at the Khao Chang Telecommunication Station in Phang nga Province, Southern Thailand, in order to monitor aftershocks in an area bounded by ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Moving the weber fraction: the perceptual precision for moment of inertia increases with exploration force. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
How does the magnitude of the exploration force influence the precision of haptic perceptual estimates? To address this question, we examined the perceptual precision for moment of inertia (i.e., an object's "angular mass") under different force ...

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

The autumn 1919 Torremendo (Jacarilla) earthquake series (SE Spain)

Annals of Geophysics, 2015
On 10th September 1919 several slightly damaging earthquakes struck the towns of Torremendo, Jacarilla (near Alicante, SE-Spain) and others nearby. Available magnitude estimations for the largest two events of the series are M = 5 approx.
