A hypothesis of the obliquely subducted Gagua Ridge below Nanao Basin based on uplifted structures in Ryukyu forearc

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2023
At the southernmost part of the Ryukyu subduction zone, six long-offset multi-channel seismic profiles were collected across three forearc basins and the southern Ryukyu accretionary prism during the TAIGER experiment in 2009 and the TAICRUST project in ...

Dynamics of the Ryukyu/Izu-Bonin-Marianas double subduction system

, 2018
International audienceTrench motions represent the surface expression of the interaction between subducting plates and the underlyingmantle, but the inherent dynamics are not fully understood.

Sub‐slab anisotropy beneath the Sumatra and circum‐Pacific subduction zones from source‐side shear wave splitting observations

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2014
Understanding the dynamics of subduction is critical to our overall understanding of plate tectonics and the solid Earth system. Observations of seismic anisotropy can yield constraints on deformation patterns in the mantle surrounding subducting slabs ...

Discovery and Fine‐Scale Mapping of Hadal Xenophyophore Habitat in the Nova Canton Trough, Central Pacific Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Discovery and fine‐scale mapping of a hadal xenophyophore field: submersible video transects and photogrammetry enable semi‐automated delineation of xenophyophores, revealing their abundance, spatial organisation, structural complexity and contribution to habitat heterogeneity at ~8000 m depth.

A theory of political divergence and gradual institutional change

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Why do some societies succeed in breaking away from historical traditions while others remain trapped? This paper proposes a formal theory to investigate the interaction between short‐run and long‐run political dynamics, highlighting a co‐evolution of political institutions and social structures.

Patrick Trench, art, illness and socialism [PDF]

, 2021
Patrick Trench lived a short life (1905-1948) marked by illness, personal turmoil, financial insecurity, sporadic employment, and socialist activism. On his death, aged 43, from tuberculosis he was remembered in an Irish Times notice (12 March, 1948), as

6‐Nitrodopamine as a Novel Mediator of Prostatic Smooth Muscle Function in Mouse and Human

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Epithelium‐derived catecholamines contribute to local regulation of genitourinary smooth muscle function, but the role of the endogenous 6‐nitrodopamine (6‐ND) in the prostate remains unknown. Objectives To determine whether 6‐ND is produced by mouse and human prostate and its role in smooth muscle regulation.

First insights into oceanic manta ray movements in Japan using satellite telemetry

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Japanese waters represent the northern distributional limit of the western Pacific distribution of the oceanic manta ray (Mobula birostris), yet movement ecology in this region remains poorly understood. We report movements of the first satellite‐tagged individual in Japan.

Assessment of the peak tsunami amplitude associated with a large earthquake occurring along the southernmost Ryukyu subduction zone in the region of Taiwan [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
The southernmost portion of the Ryukyu Trench near the island of Taiwan potentially generates tsunamigenic earthquakes with magnitudes from 7.5 to 8.7 through shallow rupture. The fault model for this potential region dips 10° northward with a rupture

The Scholar Imprisoned: Young‐Bok Shin's Decolonial Thought Against (Sub) Imperialisms in East Asia

Sociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article reads Young‐Bok Shin (1941–2016) as a decolonial thinker who theorized transformative worldmaking from the standpoint of the oppressed, rooted in the historical experiences of East Asia. Against the (sub)imperial “logic of sameness” that structures colonial modernity in his social world, Shin advances gongbu (studying) as a ...
