Seismic attenuation tomography from 2018 Lombok earthquakes, Indonesia by Priyono, Awali, Nugraha, Andri Dian, Muzli, Muzli, Ardianto, Ardianto, Atin Nur Aulia, Prabowo, Billy Sugiartono, Zulfakriza, Zulfakriza, Shindy Rosalia, Sasmi, Annisa T., Afif, Haunan, Sahara, David P., Widiyantoro, Sri, Wei, Shengji, Husni, Yayan M., Sarjan, Achmad Fajar Narotama

“…A low P-wave quality factor (low-Qp), low P-wave velocity (Vp), and high ratio of P-wave velocity and S-wave velocity (Vp/Vs), which coincide with a shallower earthquake (<20 km) northwest of Lombok Island, might be associated with a brittle area of basal and imbricated faults influenced by high fluid content. At the same time, the high-Qp, low Vp, and low Vp/Vs, which coincide with a deeper earthquake (>20 km) northeast of Lombok Island, might be associated with an area that lacks fluid content. …”

Comparative spatial predictions of the locations of soil-rock interface by Qi, Xiaohui, Pan, Xiaohua, Chiam, Kiefer, Lim, Yong Siang, Lau, Sze Ghiong

“…The spatial trend of the geological interface cannot be captured by the polynomial regression method with a relatively high (i.e., 10) order of the polynomial when faults and folds exist. Advantages of the spline regression method over the conditional random field methods include that (i) it provides a clear and explicit spatial trend of the SRI, which well reflects the geological complexity of the sites; (ii) it avoids the cumbersome estimation of random field parametric values, which is a challenging task under the condition of limited data; and (iii) it can differentiate the zones with different prediction accuracies, which cannot be accomplished by the conditional random field method due to limited data. …”

Fabrication and properties of oxide semiconductor nanowires by Shen, Youde

“…At last, we report the growth of kinked single-crystalline In2O3 nanostructures consisting of nanocone base and nanowire tip connected without any twin boundaries or stacking faults. During the tailored growth, when the diameter of gold catalyst nanoparticle at the apex of the nanocone shrunk to ~100 nm as a result of the gold atom migration, the growth direction switched from [111] to either [110] or [112], depending on the growth conditions. …”
