Probabilistic estimation of rheological properties in subduction zones using sequences of earthquakes and aseismic slip by Tobias Köhne, Rishav Mallick, Mark Simons

“…In this study, we present a framework to estimate key rheological parameters of a subduction zone plate interface using simulations of sequences of earthquakes and aseismic slip, constrained by pre- and postseismic surface displacement timeseries. Our simplified forward model consists of a two-dimensional subduction zone, represented by a discretized planar fault or narrow shear zone, divided into a locked, shallow region (“asperity”) experiencing periodically imposed coseismic events, and a stress-driven creeping section governed by power-law viscoelasticity or rate-dependent friction. …”

A Computational Approach to Understanding Agglutinative Structures in Urdu by Muhammad Shoaib Tahir, Mahnoor Amjad

“…This study investigates the computational challenges and opportunities presented by the agglutinative structures in Urdu, a language characterized by its complex system of morpheme-based word formation. Agglutinative languages, including Urdu, pose significant difficulties in natural language processing (NLP) due to the intricate ways in which morphemes each carrying distinct grammatical or semantic meanings are combined to form words. …”

Renewable energy and the role of molten salts and carbon by Fray D.

“…Recently, dimensionally stable anodes have been developed for molten salt electrolytes, based upon alkali or alkaline ruthenates which are highly electronically conducting and these may allow the concept of high temperature batteries to be developed in which an alkali or alkaline earth element reacts with air to form oxides when the battery is discharging and the oxide decomposes when the battery is being recharged. …”

Reliability Analysis of Water Intake Based on MIKE Model by LIANG Zhihong, ZHENG Jiangli, CHEN Xiuhong, LIU Xia

“…The reliability of water intake is one of the main factors affecting the operation of the project,and is a prerequisite for the project to be put into use.Taking the 10 million-ton-level metallurgical new material industrial base in Wuzhou as the research object,based on the MIKE21 module in the MIKE software,this paper establishes a hydrodynamic model for verifying the reliability of the existing water intake scheme,as well as puts forward the corresponding countermeasures for the scheme with water intake risk.The results show that:①During the dry season,the water level of the Changzhou Water Control Project is relatively high,and the reservoir storage can meet the design water intake quantity of the project;②During the normal water period,the gates of Changzhou Water Control Project need to be opened to ensure the safety of flood control.If the inflow of the Shangxiaohe tributary of Xunjiang River is abundant,the project is guaranteed with water intake.If the inflow of the Shangxiaohe tributary is small,the project will have water intake risk;③Countermeasures such as dredging the river channel and lowering the water intake can effectively increase the water intake of the project,thereby avoiding the water intake risk of the project during the normal water period.The research results are of guiding significance for the construction of the 10 million-ton-level metallurgical new material industrial base in Wuzhou,and of theoretical significance for water intake reliability analysis through MIKE21.…”
