Precariously Balanced Rocks in Northern New York and Vermont, U.S.A.: Ground-Motion Constraints and Implications for Fault Sources
Authors: McPhillips Devin , Pratt Thomas L. 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
Precariously balanced rocks (PBRs) and other fragile geologic features have the potential to constrain the maximum intensity of earthquake ground shaking over millennia. Such constraints may be particularly useful in the eastern United States (U.S.), where few earthquake-source faults are reliably identified, and moderate earthquakes can be felt at great distances due to low seismic attenuation. We describe five PBRs in northern New York and Vermont—a region of elevated seismic hazard associated with historical seismicity. These boulders appear to be among the most fragile PBRs in the region, based on reports from hobbyists. The PBRs are glacial erratics, best evidenced by glacial striations on bedrock pedestals. The pedestals themselves are locally high knobs, often situated on regionally high topography; this setting limits soil development and indicates that any outwash deposits were likely ephemeral. As a result, PBR ages can be reliably established by the retreat of the last continental ice sheet, ∼15–13 ka. To quantify the fragility of the PBRs, we surveyed them with ground-based light detection and ranging and calculated geometric parameters from the point clouds, field observations, and seismic responses. Preliminary validation of the 2023 time-independent U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) shows that the existence of PBRs is generally consistent with the median site-specific hazard curves. Only the Blue Ridge Road site suggests a modest reduction in hazard. To visualize the ensemble of data, we mapped the minimum permissible distance to potential source faults around each PBR site as a function of source magnitude by using the ground-motion models from the 2023 NSHM. Viewed in this manner, our data are consistent with potential M∼6.5 earthquake-source faults in many parts of the Lake Champlain Valley and northern Adirondack Mountains. Our work illustrates a potential pathway for better constraining earthquake-source faults in regions of cryptic faults.
Using RSQSim to Determine Seismic Sequence in Eastern Taiwan Fault System
Authors: Chia-Cheng Hsu , Hung-Yu Wu 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Understanding the spatial and temporal patterns of seismic activity, along with fault interactions in Taiwan, is essential for earthquake hazard assessment and advancing knowledge of regional tectonics. This study employs the Rate and State Earthquake Simulator (RSQSim) to simulate the eastern Taiwan fault system, integrating fault geometry from the multidisciplinary Taiwan Earthquake Model. We applied long-term simulations spanning 400,000 yr to conduct earthquake sequences and recurrence intervals on five distinct faults in eastern Taiwan: Milun fault, Longitudinal Valley fault, Central Range structure, Luyeh fault, and Taimali Coastline structure. The simulated earthquake catalogs are compared against the historical record in terms of seismicity, frequency–magnitude statistics, and recurrence patterns. The model reasonably reproduces key observational constraints, including spatial patterns, magnitude probabilities fitting a gamma distribution, and periods of quiescence resulting from fault interactions. Overall, the results demonstrate RSQSim’s potential for physics-based seismic hazard modeling and provide insights into regional seismotectonic processes in eastern Taiwan for constructing sustainable cities and communities.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o acesso à cidadania a partir da visão dos fluxos migratórios internacionais em um mundo globalizado. É uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. São discutidas as migrações internacionais a partir da concepção de um tema global de direitos humanos, de interesse e responsabilidade dos Estados. Adota-se o conceito de cidadania cosmopolita (mundial) como aquela que é estendida até os considerados não cidadãos (estrangeiros), dissociada da nacionalidade. Os direitos humanos dos imigrantes já são reconhecidos no âmbito do direito internacional dos direitos humanos e almeja-se a realização da cidadania cosmopolita, em que todos os indivíduos sejam recebidos como sujeitos de direitos, independentemente de seu Estado de origem, destino e de seu status migratório. Conclui-se que, diante da universalidade dos direitos humanos e do princípio da não discriminação, cabe aos Estados adotarem políticas migratórias de integração e acolhimento, para que a cidadania cosmopolita seja assumida como um compromisso para a plena efetivação dos direitos humanos universais.
Long-term reprojection loss for self-supervised monocular depth estimation in endoscopic surgery

Published: September 2024

Aim: Depth information plays a key role in enhanced perception and interaction in image-guided surgery. However, it is diﬀicult to obtain depth information with monocular endoscopic surgery due to a lack of reliable cues for perceiving depth. Although there are reprojection loss-based self-supervised learning techniques to estimate depth and pose, the temporal information from the adjacent frames is not eﬀiciently utilized to handle occlusion in surgery.Methods: We design long-term reprojection loss (LT-RL) self-supervised monocular depth estimation techniques by integrating longer temporal sequences into reprojection to learn better perception and to address occlusion artifacts in image-guided laparoscopic and robotic surgery. For this purpose, we exploit four temporally adjacent source frames before and after the target frame, where conventional reprojection loss uses two adjacent frames. The pixels that are visible in the target frame but occluded in the immediate two adjacent frames will produce the inaccurate depth but a higher chance to appear in the four adjacent frames during the calculation of minimum reprojection loss.Results: We validate LT-RL on the benchmark surgical datasets of Stereo correspondence and reconstruction of endoscopic data (SCARED) and Hamlyn to compare the performance with other state-of-the-art depth estimation methods. The experimental results show that our proposed technique yields 2%-4% better root-mean-squared error (RMSE) over the baselines of vanilla reprojection loss.Conclusion: Our LT-RL self-supervised depth and pose estimation technique is a simple yet effective method to tackle occlusion artifacts in monocular surgical video. It does not add any training parameters, making it flexible for integration with any network architecture and improving the performance significantly.

Zinc Oxide nanoparticles functionalized with APTES were obtained to evaluate their CH4 and CO2 adsorption and separation behavior. First, ZnO nanoparticles were obtained by a precipitation method and subsequently coated with (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES). The nanoparticles sample was characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR spectroscopy, TGA, XRD, TEM/EDX, XPS and N2 adsorption at 77 K. CH4 and CO2 adsorption experiments were carried out at 298 K in a range between 0-10 bar. It was observed that the amount of gas adsorbed on the surface of the nanostructure is very small in comparison with other materials traditionally used for this purpose but slightly higher than those obtained in naked nanoparticles evaluated in previous studies.

Published: September 2024

Remote sensing (RS) is a compulsory component in studying and monitoring ecosystems suffering from the disruption of natural balance, productivity, and degradation. Current study attempted to assess the feasibility of multisource RS for assessing and monitoring mountainous natural grasslands in Armenia. Series of the different spatial resolution RS data (Landsat 8, Sentinel 2, Planet Scope, and multispectral UAV data) were used to obtain various vegetation spectral indices: NDVI, NDWI, GNDVI, GLI, EVI, DVI, SAVI, MSAVI, and GSAVI, and the relationship among the indices were assessed via Spearman correlation method, which shows a significant positive correlation for all cases (p &amp;lt; 0.01). A comparison of all indices shows a significant high correlation between UAV and the PlanetScope imagery. The comparison of UAV, Sentinel and Landsat data show moderate and low significant correlation (p &amp;lt; 0.01) correspondingly. Also, trend analysis was performed to explore their spatial-temporal changes using Mann-Kendall statistical tests (MK, MKKH, MKKY, PW, TFPW), which indicated no significant trend. However, Sen’s slope as second estimator shows decreasing trend. Though the best result received for PlanetScope and Sentinel 2, Sentinel-2 data seem to have better alignment making it a reliable tool for an accurate monitoring of small mountainous grasslands in Armenia.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
In order to manage situations involving sulfur dioxide (SO2) exposure from wellhead blow-off accidents, this study evaluates and applies industrial hygiene measures with the goal of protecting workers and neighboring communities. A thorough review of current occupational health, industrial hygiene, environmental, and emergency management standards was carried out, paying particular emphasis to events involving wellhead blow-offs that followed the release of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). As part of the study, focused methods to reduce the dangers of SO2 exposure were developed and put into action, taking into account things like post-ignition relief protocols, community readiness, and real-time monitoring. The efficacy of the suggested techniques was confirmed by comparative analyses involving environmental air dispersion assessments, occupational exposure studies, and AEGL guidelines. This study emphasizes the vital role that industrial hygiene plays in creating customized emergency management plans for occurrences involving SO2 exposure following wellhead blow-offs, improving industry standards and for enhanced protection and safety.

Abstract
This paper presents the results of the application of eDNA analysis as a biodiversity survey technique in onshore O&G concessions, in comparison with conventional survey methods, with the aim of highlighting the advantages and disadvantages and making specific recommendations. Two case studies, in Italy and Albania, are presented.
In Italy (Val d'Agri), Eni has been using eDNA since 2021 as part of a Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services Action Plan (BAP) to complement conventional monitoring methods of two freshwater species: yellow-bellied-toad (Bombina pachypus) and Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra). The results confirmed the presence of both species. In 2023 monitoring for yellow-bellied toad was repeated to confirm distribution. The species was not detected, but the analysis of mammal primers enabled the collection of additional valuable data for other species.
In Albania, Eni used eDNA analysis in 2022 focusing on freshwater fish to complement the collection of baseline data using conventional methods prior to a seismic survey. Samples were obtained from rivers and lakes within the survey area and at a control site. Both eDNA metabarcoding and DNA barcoding were used. eDNA analysis resulted in the identification of 24 taxa of fish. Two threatened species and six restricted-range species were detected. Nine taxa recorded with eDNA analysis were not caught with the traditional fish survey which identified eight species not detected by eDNA. Furthermore, DNA barcoding enabled the addition of seven new species of fish to the global DNA database.
The case studies presented indicate that while eDNA analysis can provide valuable data with reduced time and cost compared to conventional methods, it is their combined utilization that leads to better results and a more cost and time-effective approach.
