Upper-plate normal faults along forearcs often accumulate slip during > Mw 6 earthquakes. Such normal faults traverse the forearc of the Hellenic Subduction System (HSS) in Greece and are the focus of this study. Here, we use detailed field-mapping and analysis of high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) to study 42 active normal faults on the islands of Kythira and Antikythira in the Aegean Sea. Onshore fault kinematic data are complemented by seabed bathymetry mapping of ten offshore faults that extend along the Kythira-Antikythira Strait (KAS). We find that normal faults in the KA...

A blizzard struck Northeast China in November 2020, and the maximum daily snowfall broke its record since 1961. The synoptic and climatic conditions and the predictability of this extreme snowstorm event are examined by using the daily National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis and the second version of the NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFSv2). The results show that an anomalous anticyclone over Japan and an anomalous cyclone in South China supplied abundant moisture and the rapidly enhanced Siberian high triggered the snowstorm. Before the snowstorm, the positive North Pa...

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the major pathogen causing severe neurological complications, hand, foot, and mouth disease. The intestinal mucosal immune system has a complete immune response and immune regulation mechanism, consisting of densely arranged monolayer intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (iIELs) distributed among the IECs, which constitute the first line of intestinal mucosa against infection of foreign pathogens. As an enterovirus, EV71 is transmitted by the intestinal tract; however, the mechanisms it uses to evade the immunosurveillance of th...

Financial crisis, rooted in a lack of system resilience and robustness, is a particular type of critical transition that may cause grievous economic and social losses and should be warned against as early as possible. Regarding the financial system as a time-varying network, researchers have identified early warning signals from the changing dynamics of network motifs. In addition, network motifs have many different morphologies that unveil high-order correlation patterns of a financial system, whose synchronous change represents the dramatic shift in the financial system’s functionality and...

Objective: Undernutrition is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among under-five children, mostly affecting in the developing countries. Empowerment is an intrinsic agency developed in the affective domain. Since women, including mothers, are the primary caregivers of their children, so their empowerment status can influence children's nutritional status. This study aimed to assess the strength of association between women's empowerment and nutritional status of their children. Methods: Cross-sectional study was carried out among 300 mothers having children aged 6-59 ...
