Crustal strain in the Marmara pull‐apart region associated with the propagation process of the North Anatolian Fault by Karakaş, Çagil, Armijo, R., Lacassin, R., Suc, J.-P., Melinte-Dobrinescu, M. C.

“…Our results provide tight constraints on the main pulse of folding associated with propagation of the tip of the NNAF: it took place in the late Miocene to earliest Pliocene (5.60 to 5.04 Ma), before deposition of undeformed Pliocene marine sediments. The folding is mostly coeval with the Messinian Salinity Crisis and accommodated several kilometers of shortening at the fault tip. …”

One-shot yield-cost relations in general quantum resource theories by Takagi, Ryuji, Regula, Bartosz, Wilde, Mark M.

“…Although it is well known that the amount of resources that can be asymptotically distilled from a quantum state or channel does not exceed the resource cost needed to produce it, the corresponding relation in the non-asymptotic regime hitherto has not been well understood. Here, we establish a quantitative relation between the one-shot distillable resource yield and dilution cost in terms of transformation errors involved in these processes. …”
