A new method to estimate slab dip direction using receiver functions and its application in revealing slab geometry and a diffuse plate boundary beneath Sumatra by Feng, Mingye, Chen, Ling, Wei, Shengji, Wang, Xin, Wang, Xu, Wu, Zimu

“…Similar dip directions are obtained for the upper and lower LVL boundaries beneath Nias and Enggano forearc islands in the north and south, whereas we find a larger discrepancy of ∼14–23° beneath Siberut and Pagai in between. …”

Virulence gene profiles and antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella Brancaster from chicken by Khoo, Evie, Roslee, Roseliza, Zakaria, Zunita, Ahmad, Nur Indah

“…Background: The current conventional serotyping based on antigen-antisera agglutination could not provide a better understanding of the potential pathogenicity of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Brancaster. Surveillance data from Malaysian poultry farms indicated an increase in its presence over the years. …”
