Characterizing the spectrum of slip behavior at the Sumatran subduction zone with long-term geodetic records by Tsang, Louisa Lok Hang

“…These studies illuminate new characteristics of slip behavior on the Sunda megathrust, which are important for gaining a comprehensive understanding of the earthquake cycle at the Sumatran subduction zone. First, from an ~1100-year-long paleogeodetic record at Simeulue Island, I discover that time-variable vertical deformation rates can be explained by changes in interseismic fault coupling over time. …”

The role of Holocene relative sea-level change in preserving records of subduction zone earthquakes by Dura, Tina, Engelhart, Simon E., Vacchi, Matteo, Horton, Benjamin Peter, Kopp, Robert E., Peltier, William Richard, Bradley, Sarah

“…These regional variations in Holocene RSL influence the preservation of coastal wetland stratigraphic records of prehistoric earthquakes along subduction zone coasts. The length and completeness of prehistoric earthquake records is intrinsically linked to the accommodation space provided by gradually rising (<3 mm/year) Holocene RSL. …”

Low genetic diversity of vector-borne haemoparasites in dogs and their ticks revealed local and long-range transmission in Peninsular Malaysia by Sipin, Quincie, Mustaffa-Kamal, Farina, Watanabe, Malaika, Megat Abdul Rani, Puteri Azaziah, Abdul Aziz, Nor Azlina

“…This study used nuclear and mitochondrial gene markers to investigate the host-vector interaction of the vector-borne haemoparasites. The population genetic structures of important vector-borne haemoparasites in dogs, namely, Anaplasma platys, Ehrlichia canis, Babesia vogeli, and Babesia gibsoni, were determined from the nuclear gene of 16S or 18S rRNA gene, gltA and groESL and mitochondrial gene of COX1 across dogs and vector ticks. …”

Evaluation of cutting parameters on heat-affected zone in wood plastic composites by pulsed fiber laser by Domadia, Mohd Khairul, Ismail, Mohd Idris Shah, Mohamed Yusoff, Mohd Zuhri, Mohd Pisa, Mohd Hanif

“…Therefore, minimizing these defects and determining the cutting parameters that influence the heat-affected zone (HAZ) by pulsed mode laser is essential. In this present work, 1 mm thickness of WPC 30 wt.% of wood fiber (WF) filled with recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) has been experimentally cut by single-mode pulsed fiber laser to evaluate the minimum laser energy required to cut the WPC and the influence of cutting parameters on the HAZ. …”
