PERFORMANCE OF SLAB GEOMETRY CONSTRAINTS ON RAPID GEODETIC SLIP MODELS, TSUNAMI AMPLITUDE, AND INUNDATION ESTIMATES IN CASCADIA

Performance of Slab Geometry Constraints on Rapid Geodetic Slip Models, Tsunami Amplitude, and Inundation Estimates in Cascadia

Tsunamigenic megathrust earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction zone present a major hazard concern.We can better prepare to model the earthquake source in a rapid manner by imbuing fault geometry constraints based on prior knowledge and by evaluating the capabilities of using existing GNSS sensors.Near-field GNSS waveforms have shown promise in

Effect of continuous v. daytime grazing on feed intake and growth of sheep grazing in a semi-arid grassland steppe

In the Inner Mongolian steppe, China, sheep generally graze during daytime and are kept in yards overnight.Hence, nutrients are not returned to the grassland, which might reduce its long-term productivity.Furthermore, the restricted grazing time may limit forage intake and thus the performance of sheep.The aim of this study was therefore to evaluat

Dissecting causal relationships between immune cells, plasma metabolites, and COPD: a mediating Mendelian randomization study

ObjectiveThis study employed Mendelian Randomization (MR) to investigate the causal relationships among immune cells, COPD, and potential metabolic mediators.MethodsUtilizing summary data from genome-wide association studies, we analyzed 731 immune cell phenotypes, 1,400 plasma metabolites, and COPD.Bidirectional MR analysis was conducted to explor
