A structural interpretation of the aftershock "cloud" of the 1992 Mw 7.3 Landers earthquake by Liu, Jing, Sieh, Kerry, Hauksson, Egill

“…The intensity of damage decreases away from the principal faults. Less than half of the aftershocks occurred within 1 km of the mainshock planes, and perhaps only 5% of the aftershocks are candidates for rerupture of the mainshock faults. …”

Scan implementation and toggle coverage estimation for voice subsystem by Mohan, Vivek

“…Thus, Stress test performed at the time of burn-in involves toggle fault model. Toggle fault coverage provides a quick way to determine the extent of control over circuit nodes by driving them to logical 0 or 1 voltage, with less overhead compared to stuck-at model. …”

Dynamic Weakening by Acoustic Fluidization during Stick-Slip Motion by Giacco, F., Saggese, L., de Arcangelis, L., Lippiello, E., Pica Ciamarra, Massimo

“…Here we validate this mechanism via the numerical investigation of a granular fault model system. We find that the stick-slip dynamics is affected only by perturbations applied at a characteristic frequency corresponding to oscillations normal to the fault, leading to gradual dynamical weakening as failure is approaching. …”

Co-seismic ruptures of the 12 May 2008, Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan : East–west crustal shortening on oblique, parallel thrusts along the eastern edge of Tibet by Liu-Zeng, J., Zhang, Z., Wen, L., Sun, J., Xing, X., Hu, G., Xu, Q., Zeng, L., Ding, L., Ji, C., Hudnut, K. W., van der Woerd, J., Tapponnier, Paul

“…Field investigation shows clear surface breaks along two of the main branches of the NE-trending Longmen Shan thrust fault system. The principal rupture, on the NW-dipping Beichuan fault, displays nearly equal amounts of thrust and right-lateral slip. …”

Development of prognosis scheme for permanent magnet synchronous motor by Chia, Yee Hon

“…As such the need to operate long hours, one of the main concerns was fault-related issue. This project’s goal is to develop a prognosis scheme for PMSM that would be used to predict the condition of the machine in the event when an inter-turn fault has occurred.…”

Diverse routing in networks with shared risk link groups by Low, Kheng Keong.

“…Survivability is the capability of a network in maintaining continuous service in the presence of faults within the network. Survivable routing of a connection typically involves the computations of a working path and its backups, such that when faults occur in the working path, the connection could be rerouted to backup solutions and hence not be seriously affected or interrupted. …”

Tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the foreland fold-and-thrust belt of the United Arab Emirates by Abdelmaksoud, A, Ali, MY, Searle, MP

“…The Permian-Jurassic NW-SE oriented rift faults were reactivated as thrust faults during the Late Cretaceous ophiolite obduction and late Oligocene-Miocene continental collision. …”

In-vitro compatibility evaluation of fungal mixed culture for bioconversion of domestic wastewater sludge by Molla, Abul Hossain, Fakhru'l‐Razi, Ahmadun, Abd‐Aziz, Suraini, Hanafi, Mohamed Musa, Alam, Md. Zahangir

“…Two different fungi were grown in the same petri dish 4 cm apart in two culture media, potato dextrose agar (PDA) and malt extract agar (MEA). Fifteen different in-vitro interactions were studied and summarized according to five possible outcomes, i.e., mutual intermingling, partial mutual intermingling, inhibition at contact point, inhibition at a distance and replacement. …”

Information pollution and the war in Gaza: implications for Singapore by Wong, Yasmine, Haciyakupoglu, Gulizar

“…Besides demonstrating various disinformation types and tactics, there is also the increased resonance of certain disinformation narratives as they overlap and impact on societal sensitivities and identity-based fault lines. These are challenges for Singapore, as societal fault lines present vulnerabilities for disinformation penetration, ultimately affecting social cohesion.…”
