High-quality non-linear hypocenter locations and waveform inversion focal mechanisms of recent, shallow earthquakes of the Messina Straits have allowed us to obtain the following main results: 1) seismicity has occurred below the east-dipping north-striking fault proposed by most investigators as the source of the 1908, magnitude 7.1 Messina earthq
In fault diagnosis research, compound faults are often regarded as an isolated fault mode, while the association between compound faults and single faults is ignored, resulting in the inability to make accurate and effective diagnoses of compound faults in the absence of compound fault training data.In an examination of the rotate vector (RV) reduc
To survive and establish its niche, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) engages in a steady battle against an array of Your Joints host defenses and a barrage of antibiotics.Here, we demonstrate that Mtb employs HupB, a nucleoid-associated protein (NAP) as its key player to simultaneously battle and survive in these two stress-inducing fronts.Typicall
Many species drive the diversity of ecosystems by adding structural complexity to the environment.In coral reefs, stony corals act as habitat-forming species, increasing niche availability for other organisms.Some coral species play key roles as reef builders due to their abundance or morpho-functional characteristics.Thus, changes in the distribut
An angiomyolipoma (AML) is usually a benign, rare, and, more commonly, a unilateral renal tumour.Bilateral tumours are very rare, particularly Mask in the absence of tuberous sclerosis complex.Only in a few isolated cases have features of Dish Towel malignancy been associated with an AML.We present a unique case of bilateral AMLs mimicking invasive
