Scaling Relationships of Source Parameters for Slow Slip Events

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2012
To better understand the physical mechanisms of slow slip events (SSEs) detected worldwide, we explore the scaling relationships of various source parameters and compare them with similar scaling laws for earthquakes. These scaling relationships highlight differences and similarities between slow slip events and earthquakes and hold implications for ...

Surprising Water Slipping Performance on Highly Hydrophilic PEG‐Derived Monolayer‐Covered Surfaces: Preparation, Mechanism, and Application

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Highly hydrophilic surfaces (water contact angle, ≈17.7°) exhibiting surprising water slipping performance (sliding angle, ≈7.3°) are successfully prepared via simple chemisorption of polyethylene glycol (PEG) organosilane and subsequent alkali‐treatment.

Slow slip events: parameters, conditions of occurrence, and future research prospects

Geodynamics & Tectonophysics, 2014
Slow slip events along faults and fractures are reviewed. Such inter-block displacements can be recorded at various scale levels and considered as transitional from quasi-stable (creep) to dynamic slip (earthquake). Such events include seismogenic slip along faults at velocities by one to three orders lower than those in case of 'normal' earthquakes ...

A geodetic investigation of slow slip in the Hikurangi subduction zone beneath Raukumara Peninsula, New Zealand

, 2005
In October 2002, a slow slip event of 20-30 mm surface displacement was observed on two continuous Global Positioning (GPS) instruments near Gisborne, North Island, New Zealand. This event was the first of its kind to be documented with continuous GPS in

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...
