DATA ASSIMILATION FOR FAULT SLIP MONITORING AND SHORT-TERM PREDICTION OF SPATIO-TEMPORAL EVOLUTION OF SLOW SLIP EVENTS: APPLICATION TO THE 2010 LONG-TERM SLOW SLIP EVENT IN THE BUNGO CHANNEL, JAPAN

Data assimilation for fault slip monitoring and short-term prediction of spatio-temporal evolution of slow slip events: application to the 2010 long-term slow slip event in the Bungo Channel, Japan

Abstract Monitoring and predicting fault slip behaviors in subduction zones is essential for understanding earthquake cycles and assessing future earthquake potential.We developed a data assimilation method for fault slip monitoring and the short-term prediction of slow slip events, and applied to the 2010 Bungo Channel slow slip event in southwest

Specific Detection of Serum Antibodies against BKPyV, A Small DNA Tumour Virus, in Patients Affected by Choroidal Nevi

Ocular or choroidal nevus (CN) is a rare benign neoplastic lesion of the eye.The cause of CN onset/progression, which arises from the transformation of ocular melanocytes, is not known.A fraction of CN patients may develop uveal melanoma.The objective of this study was to investigate the association between CN and BK polyomavirus (BKPyV), a small D

What triggers phenological events in plants under seasonal environments? A study with phylogenetically related plant species in sympatry

Abstract In this study, we evaluated variation in vegetative and reproductive phenological events of four phylogenetically related plant species subjected to a seasonal environment.To this aim, we sampled 15 individuals of each plant species every fortnight for one year, between January and December of 2017.To assess when a given phenophase occurre
