Prospects for larger or more frequent earthquakes in the Los Angeles metropolitan region by Sieh, Kerry, Suppe, John, Dolan, James F., Rockwell, Thomas K., Yeats, Robert S., Huftile, Gary J., Gath, Eldon M., Shaw, John H.

“…Far too few moderate earthquakes have occurred within the Los Angeles, California, metropolitan region during the 200-year-long historic period to account for observed strain accumulation, indicating that the historic era represents either a lull between clusters of moderate earthquakes or part of a centuries-long interseismic period between much larger (moment magnitude, Mw, 7.2 to 7.6) events. …”

Development of implantable MEMS for biomedical applications by Tng, Danny Jian Hang.

“…The proposed device has: i) large drug reservoir ( ~100 μl) to minimize refilling, ii) relatively small in size (13mm x 13 mm x 4 mm), iii) a low power 3 V electrode for long-term, controlled electrochemical actuation, iv) a long targeted drug delivery cannula with a backflow valve, v) high flow rate of 0.4 μl/s at 3 V and vi) highly biocompatible.…”

Coherent terahertz Smith-Purcell radiation generated by the microbunched electron beam by Zhang, H

“…Microbunch trains, with picosecond (or sub-picosecond) periodicities, were generated through a variety of methods, including the modulation of a long electron bunch in a plasma channel, direct generation of microbunches from a photocathode (at KEK-LUCX, Japan), and the modulation of a long bunch (with an initial density modulation) using the longitudinal space charge forces during its propagation in the beamline (at TTX, China). …”

Effect of Longitude-Dependent Cloud Coverage on Exoplanet Visible Wavelength Reflected-Light Phase Curves by Webber, M. W., Lewis, N. K., Marley, M., Morley, C., Fortney, J. J., Cahoy, K.

“…In this work, we first investigate a test case of our model using a Jupiter-like planet, at temperatures consistent to 2.0 AU insolation from a solar type star, to consider the effect of H2O clouds. …”

Fault slip and GPS velocities across the Shan Plateau define a curved southwestward crustal motion around the Eastern Himalayan syntaxis by Shi, Xuhua, Wang, Yu, Sieh, Kerry, Weldon, Ray, Feng, Lujia, Chan, Chung-Han, Liu-Zeng, Jing

“…Our observations of the fault geometry, slip rates, and arcuate southwesterly directed tongue‐like patterns of GPS velocities across the region suggest that the fault kinematics is characterized by a regional southwestward distributed shear across the Shan Plateau, compared to more block‐like rotation and indentation north of the Red River fault. …”
