Fault Volume Digital Twin to Reproduce the Full Slip Spectrum, Scaling, and Statistical Laws
Abstract Seismological and geodetic observations of fault zones reveal diverse slip dynamics, scaling, and statistical laws. Existing mechanisms explain some but not all of these behaviors. We show that incorporating an off‐fault damage zone—characterized by distributed fractures surrounding a main fault—can reproduce many key features observed in ...

The role of case management in misdemeanor prosecution
Abstract Despite increasing attention to prosecutors' role in shaping criminal justice outcomes, there is limited empirical research on what prosecutors do. While most theories of prosecutorial discretion emphasize overarching goals related to justice and safety, our paper shifts the focus toward the practical realities of the job, particularly in the ...

A damaging earthquake of Mw 7.7, which struck the Bhuj region of India on January 26, 2001, was followed by a large number of aftershocks. The aftershock data available at Gauribidanur Seismic Array Station (GBA), India, till 869 h following the main ...

The hidden discount: Examining racial disparity in the use of suspended sentences
Abstract Extant research on criminal sentencing generally concludes that racial/ethnic disparity is concentrated in the “in–out” decision, and that racial differences in sentence lengths are small and inconsistent. However, sentence length analyses rarely focus on the fact that criminal sentences are often partially or fully suspended, creating ...

Residual Strain Mechanism of Aftershocks and Exponents of the Modified Omori's Law [PDF]
AbstractThe rate of aftershocks caused by residual stresses left after a major seismic event or material failure is considered. It is assumed that the local (or “micro” with respect to the scale of the major event) failures registered as aftershocks are produced by static fatigue (delayed fracture).

Variations in precursory slip behavior resulting from frictional heterogeneity
Precursory seismicity is often observed before a large earthquake. Small foreshocks occur within the mainshock rupture area, which cannot be explained by simple models that assume homogeneous friction on the entire fault.

Aftershock Hazard Magnitude, Time, and Location Probability Forecasting
This study combines branching aftershock sequence (BASS) and modified Omori¡¦s law to develop a predictive model for forecasting the magnitude, time, and location of aftershocks of magnitude Mw ≥ 5.00 in large earthquakes.

Aftershock Rate Changes at Different Ocean Tide Heights
The differential probability gain approach is used to estimate quantitatively the change in aftershock rate at various levels of ocean tides relative to the average rate model.

Dependence of the Omori‐Utsu law parameters on main shock magnitude: Observations and modeling [PDF]
We examine the dependence on main shock magnitudemof thepandχparameters appearing in Omori‐Utsu formulaλ(t,m) =χ× (t+c)−prelating the rate of aftershocksλat timetafter a main shock. Observations point out to a significant increase ofpwithm, along with a scaling relationship of the formχ∼ 10αm.
