Kinematics of Active Deformation Across the Western Kunlun Mountain Range (Xinjiang, China) and Potential Seismic Hazards Within the Southern Tarim Basin by Guilbaud, Christelle, Simoes, Martine, Barrier, Laurie, Laborde, Amandine, Van der Woerd, Jérôme, Li, Haibing, Tapponnier, Paul, Coudroy, Thomas, Murray, Andrew

“…To quantify the rate of active deformation and the potential for major earthquakes in this region, we combine a structural and quantitative morphological analysis of the Yecheng–Pishan fold, along the topographic mountain front in the epicentral area. Using a seismic profile, we derive a structural cross section in which we identify the fault that broke during the Pishan earthquake, an 8–12 km deep blind ramp beneath the Yecheng–Pishan fold. …”

Complexities of the San Andreas fault near San Gorgonio Pass : implications for large earthquakes by Yule, Doug, Sieh, Kerry

“…(U/Th)/He thermochronometry supports our interpretation that this south-under-north thickening of the crust has created the region's 3 km of topographic relief. We conclude that future large earthquakes generated along the San Andreas fault in this region will have a multiplicity of mostly specifiable sources having dimensions of 1–20 km. …”

Does not compute: social dissonance in England's computing education policy by Larke, L

“…</p> <p>Using teacher interviews, student writing and drawings, student interviews, extensive classroom observations, and policy analysis, this ethnographic case study of four primary school classrooms in the South of England will examine how the addition of computing to England’s National Curriculum came to pass and why it is not meeting its stated goals, before discussing what this means about past assumptions and future possibilities for young people’s engagement with and understanding of modern digital technologies in formal education settings. …”

The role of membrane curvature in nanoscale topography-induced intracellular signaling by Lou, Hsin-Ya, Zhao, Wenting, Zeng, Yongpeng, Cui, Bianxiao

“…However, a mechanistic understanding of how cells interact and respond to nanoscale topographic features is still lacking. In this Account, we focus on some recent studies that support a new mechanism that local membrane curvature induced by nanoscale topography directly acts as a biochemical signal to induce intracellular signaling, which we refer to as the curvature hypothesis. …”
