Indentation of the Philippine Sea plate by the Eurasia plate in Taiwan: Details from recent marine seismological experiments [PDF]

Tectonophysics, 2013
Abstract We analyze in this study a new set of marine data including 3D local tomography, 1992–2008 relocated earthquakes and two recent multichannel seismic lines to characterize the deformation style in the collision area offshore east Taiwan. We have mapped in detail the Mohos of the converging plates as well as the subduction interface with a ...

Maltase 1 regulates DENV2 infection and life history in Aedes aegypti

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Our study employed CRISPR/Cas9 to generate a MAL1 knockout strain of Aedes aegypti, demonstrating that the absence of MAL1 significantly suppresses DENV2 replication in the midgut and impairs viral transmission. The mutation also altered life‐history (hatching/pupation/emerging rates and sex‐specific survival), identifying MAL1 as a novel target for ...

Detached Pacific Slab Beneath the Philippine Sea Plate and Its Geodynamical Implications

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Formation and evolution of the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP) are still highly debated, mainly because the PSP has been surrounded by subduction zones since its inception.

Response of Remote Tropical West Pacific Islands to Climate Variability: A Multiproxy Record From T‐Lake, Palau, Spanning the Early Holocene to Present

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental dynamics and how these systems have responded to past climate variability. Sediment geochemistry, governed by local geology and climate processes, is unique to each lake‐catchment and geochemical proxies must be validated for each study site.

Urban Seismology in the Taipei Metropolitan Area: Review and Prospective

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2008
A strong collision between the Eurasian and Philippine Sea Plates causes high seismicity in the Taiwan region. A substantial number of cities and large towns exist on thick sediments in western Taiwan. Larger-magnitude inland earthquakes, for example the

Improving Decision‐Making in the Identification of Tephritidae Larvae at Import in the European Union and Key to Third Instar Larvae

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Tephritidae family, or true fruit flies, comprises approximately 250 species recognized as economically significant due to their capacity to infest commercial fruits. These pests pose serious threats to both food security and trade, and are considered quarantine pests in areas where they are not yet established. In the European Union (EU),

Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., a hairy ghost pipefish (Teleostei: Solenostomidae) from the Southwest Pacific, with an integrative comparison to S. paegnius

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of ghost pipefish, Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., is described from the Coral Sea based on specimens (18–34 mm SL) collected from coral reef habitats in Queensland, Australia. The species is diagnosed by the following combination of characters: abundant elongate integumentary filaments imparting a conspicuously shaggy ...

Revealing Crustal Deformation and Strain Rate in Taiwan Using InSAR and GNSS

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Interseismic deformation describes the gradual accumulation of crustal strain within the tectonic plate and along the plate boundaries before the sudden release as earthquakes.

Item‐level accuracy and error patterns of the TIE‐93: Emotion recognition in individualistic and collectivistic cultural groups

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract There remains a lack of appropriately adapted neuropsychological tests for culturally, linguistically and educationally diverse populations, particularly for the evaluation of social cognition, as its assessment is essential for the early diagnosis of diseases such as frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

Seismogenesis of dual subduction beneath Kanto, central Japan controlled by fluid release

Scientific Reports, 2017
Dual subduction represents an unusual case of subduction where one oceanic plate subducts on top of another, creating a highly complex tectonic setting. Because of the complex interaction between the two subducted plates, the origin of seismicity in such
