3D seismic evidence for multiple movement directions and detached extension during Mesozoic rifting in theJeanne d'Arc basin, offshore Newfoundland, Canada
Creators: name: Stier, Natalie Elizabeth
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: The Jeanne d’Arc rift basin formed during the breakup of Pangea from Late Triassic through Early Cretaceous time. My study focuses on the Flying Foam region, which lies east of the NNE-striking, ESE-dipping Mercury fault in the northwestern section of the basin. Multiple phases of deformation, along with the presence of evaporites within the latest Triassic to earliest Jurassic Argo Formation, make it difficult to constrain the timing of tectonic activity and the extension direction in the basin. Using 3D seismic data (donated by WesternGeco). I focused on constraining the slip on faults through time to better understand the evolution of the basin.   Previous 3D seismic studies have identified corrugations subparallel to the slip direction on the surface of a fault. I identified corrugations on the Mercury fault that indicate an ESE-movement direction during the first phase of rifting from the Late Triassic to the earliest Jurassic. During the second phase of rifting (earliest Jurassic – latest Jurassic), a relay ramp formed in the southern part of the study area, between the basement-involved Mercury and Murre faults, resulting in a northeastward tilt of strata in the hanging wall of the Mercury fault. During the third phase of rifting (latest Jurassic – Early Cretaceous), evaporites within the Argo formation acted as a detachment fault zone. N-directed gravity sliding along the detachment fault zone tilt resulted in NE-oriented extension. Concurrently, the N-striking, basement-involved Flying Foam fault imparted a component of top-to-the east motion on the detachment fault zone. This resulted in geographic and temporal variation in the movement direction on the detachment fault zone from the latest Jurassic through the Early Cretaceous. As the Flying Foam fault propagated southward, the Flying Foam anticline formed above it. Breakup in the northern part of the Jeanne d’Arc basin occurred in the earliest Aptian. However basement-involved faulting with a dip-slip normal component continued through the Aptian, and offset of a late Albian unconformity indicates that NNE-directed detached faulting continued into the Albian.
The impact of economic abuse on depressive symptoms among survivors of intimate partner violence

description: This dissertation examined the impact of economic abuse and the mediating role of economic self-efficacy on depressive symptoms among survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). The primary research question aimed to examine the associations between economic abuse experiences and depressive symptoms from a cross-sectional and longitudinal viewpoint, among a sample of 457 female survivors of IPV, recruited from 14 domestic violence programs, across 10 states and Puerto Rico. The secondary research question aimed to examine the mediating role of economic self-efficacy in the relationship between economic abuse and depressive symptoms.  This dissertation theorized that higher levels of economic abuse experiences would relate to increased levels of depressive symptoms. Stress theory (Thoits, 2010) was utilized to provide a framework for understanding the way the stress of economic abuse and the accumulated life strain, which occurred from financial dependence on an abuser, might converge to produce high levels of stress and depression for survivors of IPV.  Furthermore, this dissertation theorized that economic self-efficacy would mediate the relationship between economic abuse experiences and depressive symptoms. The concept of self-efficacy evolved from social learning theory (Bandura, 1994, 1997, 2008) and examined how the survivor’s perceived economic competence, during or following the economic abuse experiences, provided a specific mediating construction in the development of depressive symptoms.  The findings revealed that, from a cross-sectional perspective, higher levels of economic abuse experiences related to higher levels of depressive symptoms; however, this relationship was not mediated by economic self-efficacy. Furthermore, from a longitudinal, 14-month perspective, there was no significant impact of the change in economic abuse experiences on the change in depressive symptoms. In examining the impact of economic abuse on depressive symptoms among survivors of IPV, this study added to the knowledge base of the social sciences, furthered understanding of the impact of economic abuse and the possible mediating impact of economic self-efficacy, and provided critical information that the field of IPV could utilize in developing programs and policies to support survivors.

description: Toxic doses of the analgesic acetaminophen (APAP) cause hepatic necrosis, a response mediated, in part, by inflammatory macrophages. Herein we characterized macrophages responding to APAP. Infiltrating myeloid cells were identified as CD11b+, Ly6G+ (granulocytic) or Ly6C+ (monocytic) subsets. Ly6Chi macrophages are pro-inflammatory, while Ly6Clo are anti-inflammatory.  The origin of liver macrophages and mechanisms mediating their recruitment were analyzed utilizing GFP+ bone marrow chimeric mice and CX3CR1+/GFP reporter mice. Following APAP administration, we observed increased numbers of GFP+CD11b+ cells in livers of chimeric mice at all post treatment times. Conversely, CX3CR1+CD11b+ cells were observed mainly at later times. GFP+ bone marrow-derived Ly6Chi cells consisted of mature and immature cells as measured by F4/80 expression. Increased numbers of mature anti-inflammatory Ly6Clo bone marrow-derived macrophages were observed after APAP, which was correlated with a decrease in immature anti-inflammatory Ly6Clo macrophages at the later times. Analysis of coexpression of F4/80 and CX3CR1+ showed that mature macrophages were selectively recruited at later times after APAP. This suggests that CX3CR1+ recruitment involves anti-inflammatory cell recruitment, as well as multiple M2--like macrophage subpopulations. To further assess the phenotypes of GFP+ bone marrow-derived and CX3CR1+ macrophages, cells were examined for expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory markers. Confocal microscopy confirmed the accumulation of bone marrow-derived pro-inflammatory GFP+ macrophages in the liver which expressed the inflammatory enzyme, COX-2. This correlated with Ly6Chi macrophage subpopulations in GFP+ bone marrow chimeric mice.  Reduced COX-2 expression was observed on CX3CR1+ macrophages, indicating that COX-2+ cell accumulation is independent of CX3CR1. Bone marrow-derived anti-inflammatory macrophages expressing the anti-oxidative enzyme HO-1 and mannose receptor were present in the liver at similar times as Ly6Clo macrophages. Interestingly, CX3CR1+ macrophages were found to only express HO-1, but not MR suggesting that the Ly6Clo subpopulation recruited to the liver in CX3CR1+/GFP reporter mice after APAP represents a unique subpopulation of anti-inflammatory macrophages. Overall, these studies demonstrate that bone marrow provides distinct pro- and anti-inflammatory macrophage subpopulations that employ chemokine receptors, such as CX3CR1 to aid in their trafficking to the liver. Furthermore, CX3CR1 associated recruitment includes both pro- and anti-inflammatory macrophages.

MIMO radars with sparse sensing

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) radars achieve high resolution of arrival direction by transmitting orthogonal waveforms, performing matched filtering at the receiver end and then jointly processing the measurements of all receive antennas. This dissertation studies the use of compressive sensing (CS) and matrix completion (MC) techniques as means of reducing the amount of data that need to be collected by a MIMO radar system, without sacrificing the system’s good resolution properties. MIMO radars with sparse sensing are useful in networked radar scenarios, in which the joint processing of the measurements is done at a fusion center, which might be connected to the receive antennas via a wireless link. In such scenarios, reduced amount of data translates into bandwidth and power saving in the receiver-fusion center link.      First, we consider previously defined CS-based MIMO radar schemes, and propose optimal transmit antenna power allocation and transmit waveform design schemes that improve target localization performance. The optimization criterion is to minimize the coherence between the columns of the sensing matrix. In addition, we propose a clutter suppression scheme based on the Capon beamforming in the CS-based MIMO radars. Second, we propose a novel MIMO radar approach based on matrix completion, termed as MIMO-MC, in which each receive node either performs matched filtering with a small number of randomly selected dictionary waveforms, or obtains sub-Nyquist samples of the received target echoes at randomly sampled instants, and forwards the results to a fusion center. Based on the received samples, and with knowledge of the sampling scheme, the fusion center partially fills a matrix, referred to as the data matrix and subsequently applies matrix completion techniques to estimate the full matrix. The completed data matrix is used for target estimation with standard array signal processing methods. We show that MIMO-MC radars share the advantages of the CS based radars, i.e., high resolution with reduced amounts of data, but unlike CS-based radars do not require grid discretization and thus are not sensitive to basis mismatch. For MIMO radars with uniform linear arrays, we investigate the relationship between the coherence of the data matrix and the transmit waveforms, and formulate an optimal waveform design problem. This is an optimization problem on the complex Stiefel manifold, which is then solved via the modified steepest descent and the modified Newton algorithms with nonmonotone line search methods. We also propose transmit and receive beamforming schemes to significantly reduce the sampling rate at the receiver end in MIMO-MC radars.

Content adaptive encoding method for high frame rate screen-camera communication
Creators: name: Tang, Yaqin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: As both screen displaying speed and camera capturing speed has been improved significantly over recent years, there has been increasing interest in using this technique to explore new ways of visual communication yet remain unobtrusive to human eyes.    This thesis proposes a content adaptive system that can communicate between high speed screen and high speed camera while hiding information from human perception. The novel content adaptive embedding approach for this visual light communication system is implemented by applying texture range selection and edge avoiding on a checkerboard pattern for the original image to embed more information in image regions that are suitable for flicker-free communication. At the receiver, the embedding regions are identified by tracking temporal signal amplitude alteration. With such techniques, the system can achieve near zero flicker perception while successfully communicating a large volume of information between the screen and camera. To evaluate the system, we test 10 static and dynamic color videos displaying at 120fps and place the camera 70cm away in a stand while capturing the video at 240fps. Results show that all the 10 videos can achieve near zero flicker and provide an average capacity of 16.52kbps and with an average bit error rate of 5%.

I second many of the points raised by N. R. Navarro.
In addition, I would stress that research ethics and research integrity need to be separated, although both are closely interlinked. In terms of ethics, the usual starting point is avoiding harm. To this end, something like the Declaration of Helsinki might provide a starting point for a brief elaboration. Though note that many fields have their own ethical guidelines for research, which are often collated into professional ethical guidelines and codes of conduct.
I like the concise summary in Fig. 2, although it is perhaps a little too concise in a sense that it is unclear and debatable whether QRPs really are about violating responsibility. As correctly stated, many — if not the most (?) — QRPs are unintentional oversights, mistakes, and other honest errors.
In a similar vein, I am not sure whether retractions really correlate with allegedly increased misconduct. While retractions have been growing, sure, so have the amount of published papers. If there are now something like 50,000 retracted papers archived, what about scaling this amount with the few million papers published each year? Nor is it clear whether we really need more retractions (to put aside blatant misconduct) or something more productive, whether pre-prints, replications, rebuttals, letters to editors, pre-registrations, and so forth and so on.

Development of life cycle assessment tool for pavement sustainability analysis

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Motivated by the emerging importance of sustainability in transportation infrastructure, this study aims at developing a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool to quantify the energy and environmental impacts of pavements. The general LCA framework is incorporated into a highly customizable Excel-based software tool that can be used to facilitate environmental assessment of pavements at the project-level. The impact assessment focuses on the cumulative energy demand (CED) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission in the material, construction, and maintenance phases of pavement life-cycle. LCA results are highly dependent on the quality and appropriateness of data in the life cycle inventory. Therefore, different inventory database from major pertinent studies were reviewed and summarized. To implement the LCA framework, case studies regarding runway pavement rehabilitation/reconstruction at the John F. Kennedy (JFK) airport and new runway pavement designs conducted using the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pavement design methodology were conducted. Life-cycle inventory data were compiled from literature and field surveys from contractors. The data variations in the material-related energy and emission rates were considered for sensitivity analysis. Both direct energy consumption and GHG emission and their corresponding upstream components related to process fuels were considered in the impact assessment. The results indicate that the expected pavement service life and maintenance treatments significantly affect the comparison between hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements. The consideration of energy and emissions associated with the production of process fuels and electricity in the upstream process cannot be neglected in the LCA. The analysis findings suggest that there are no general conclusions on pavement type selection for sustainability and the project-level analysis need be conducted for selecting the most appropriate design alternatives.
title: Trading and market quality: evidence from the London Stock Exchange
Creators: name: Hartavi, Yusuf
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2020

description: This dissertation comprises four empirical essays on market quality. The first essay develops a 
reliable method for trader classification that identifies unique types of traders in the London 
Stock Exchange (LSE). We investigate the trading behaviour of high-frequency-traders (HFTs) 
and assess the impact of different styles of trading on liquidity and volatility. To achieve this, 
we utilise a comprehensive UK dataset covering two years of trade activity. We identify 76 
HFTs, classified into four distinct sub-groups, and 51 registered market-makers actively 
trading in the LSE markets. The second essay investigates volatility in London’s Alternative 
Investment Market (AIM), the stock market for smaller and growing companies. Specifically, 
it provides new evidence comparing the relative riskiness of stocks trading on AIM to 
corresponding stocks trading on the Main Market, the flagship market of LSE for large-cap and 
blue-chip stocks. The purpose of this particular essay is to elucidate the perceived riskiness of 
AIM and measure the risk of comparable stocks on both markets. In this study, we test the 
hypothesis that AIM is inherently riskier than the Main Market, as stocks trading in small-cap/junior markets might be considered riskier than established stocks trading on primary 
exchange markets. The analysis of switchers indicates that the differences in volatility when 
stocks switched between AIM and the Main Market are extremely small, often not statistically 
significant, and tend – if anything – to exhibit a slightly lower volatility when a stock is listed 
on AIM. The third paper examines how trader participation is associated with liquidity. We 
find that although HFT activity does not harm liquidity as a whole, the evidence is mixed at 
the sub-group level. The final essay explores trader behaviour in periods of extreme short-term 
volatility and studies the effect of trader aggressiveness on liquidity. Few previous studies have 
answered research questions similar to the ones addressed in this study, which is the first to 
examine extreme short-term volatility in the LSE markets.

Growth inhibitory effects of 3'-hydroxypterostilbene in human prostate cancer cells and xenograft mice
Creators: name: Tsai, Hui-Yun
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Prostate cancer is the second highest cause of cancer-related death among men in the United States. Most of these deaths are caused by invasive and metastatic spread of the prostate cancer. Therefore, more efforts should be dedicated to the development of preventive strategies to reduce prostate cancer prevalence and impact. Pterostilbene (Pt) is a natural antioxidant compound predominantly found in blueberries, grapes and a tree wood, Pterocarpus marsupium. 3'-Hydroxypterostilbene (OHPt), one of hydroxyl analogs of pterostilbene, can be isolated from whole plant of the herb Sphaerophysa salsula, a shrub widely distributed in central Asia and northwest China. The objective of this study was to investigate the growth inhibitory effects of 3'-hydroxypterostilbene on human prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that OHPt significantly decreased cell viability of PC-3 and LNCaP cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. However, OHPt showed much stronger inhibitory effects on the growth of the prostate cancer cells in comparison with its parent compound Pt, suggesting that addition of an OH group to the 3’-position of Pt ameliorated its anti-cancer cell proliferative activity. Next, we further elucidated the molecular mechanisms of anti-proliferation of human prostate cancer cells by OHPt. Treatment with OHPt induced apoptosis via disruption of mitochondrial membrane integrity and activation of caspase-8, caspase-9 and caspase-3 in both PC-3 and LNCaP cells. Moreover, OHPt increased the ratio of proapototic protein Bax to anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL. These findings suggested that OHPt had a strong growth inhibitory effect on PC-3 and LNCaP cells through induction of intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathway. Besides, OHPt induced autophagic cell death by upregulating the expression of Beclin-1, LC3 proteins and autophagosome formation. Furthermore, in vivo study, OHPt showed potent anti-tumor effects in PC-3 xenograft nude mice. Treatment of mice with OHPt efficiently inhibited the tumor volume and tumor weight. Taken together, the findings of this research provide insights that OHPt might have significant chemotherapeutic applications for the future management of prostate cancer.

Political withdrawal among immigrants and refugees from non-democratic regimes. the case of Romanians in the New York-New Jersey-Pennsylvania metropolitan area of the United States
Creators: name: Vamanu, Alina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation is an ethnographic study of a community of Romanian immigrants and refugees who spent decades under one of the most repressive Eastern European communist regimes before resettling in the New York-New Jersey-Pennsylvania metropolitan area of the United States. The study articulates the mechanisms through which their experience of political repression has led to political withdrawal in the United States. Romanian immigrants and refugees have experienced both communist and post-communist Romanian politics as intrusive and destructive of community ties. Romanian politics reached beyond Romanian borders, infiltrated the émigré community in the United States, and gave rise to suspicions, political accusations, and arguments. These struggles have eroded Romanian churches and organizations, as well as people’s sense of a shared civic life. Romanian immigrants and refugees have also experienced American foreign policy toward Romania as harmful and unresponsive to their needs: in their view, it has been driven by strategic and economic reasons rather than a genuine concern for democracy in Eastern Europe. Thus, Romanian immigrants and refugees have developed a negative understanding of politics. For them, politics is contentious. It is corrupt and invasive, and drives people apart instead of bringing them together to identify common goals and work as a group to attain them. As a result, most Romanian community leaders steer their churches and organizations away from political discussions and concerns and focus on “apolitical” (i.e., ethnocultural) activities and events. A few Romanian community leaders engage in politics, but they do so from an “independent” position in order to avoid affiliation with political parties or interest groups.
Using ecosystem models to understand the faunal response to non-trophic impacts in an estuarine ecosystem
Creators: name: Vasslides, James Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Ecosystem-based management requires a holistic view of the impacts of management activities, and a number of modelling techniques have been suggested as appropriate for the task at hand. In the first chapter I utilized fuzzy logic cognitive mapping to develop conceptual models of a Barnegat Bay, a lagoonal estuarine system, among four stakeholder groups. These findings suggest that while all of the stakeholders interviewed perceive the subject ecosystem as a complex series of social and ecological interconnections, there is a core set of components that are present in most of the groups’ models that are viewed as crucial in managing the system towards some desired outcome.  However, the variability in the connections between these core components and the rest of the categories influences the exact nature of these outcomes.    In the second chapter I constructed a trophic-based ecosystem model for the same estuary and included mortality associated with a nuclear generating station.  Under a scenario where the generating station substantially reduces its water withdrawals, the effect on the biomass of an individual species tended to be small (<3%), and the direction of the change varied by species.  However, trophic interactions played an important role in determining the overall change in a species’ biomass, as some species directly impacted by the generating station had a reduced biomass in the decommissioning scenario due to increased predation mortality.    In the third and fourth chapters I reviewed the available literature regarding incorporation of eutrophication and other anthropogenic impacts into the trophic-based model.  I then reduced nutrient loads within models developed in the previous chapters to understand how they can be best utilized to meet the needs of resource managers.  Both models responded to the nutrient load reduction in a similar fashion, despite the differences in data sources, approaches, and methodology.  This suggests that in data-poor situations local ecological knowledge, collected in a stakeholder-based conceptual modelling framework, can be used to understand the patterns and relative magnitude of changes to an ecosystem that can be expected given proposed management actions.  However, a more powerful approach would be to use the two models in combination, maximizing the strengths of each.

description: Ci) Hycleus africanus species group
We group tentatively in this assemblage some southern African species of the Mesocutatus lineage with ten antennomeres as H. africanus (Olivier, 1811), H. namaquus (Péringuey, 1909) and H. quadriguttatus (Wulfen, 1786). The taxonomy of this group needs a deep revision.
Hycleus cfr. africanus (Olivier, 1795) [? = Hycleus insolitus (Péringuey, 1909)] (Fig. 5E)
Mylabris africana Olivier, 1795
Decatoma africana, Péringuey 1909
? Decatoma africana var. insolita Péringuey, 1909 Distribution. Namibia (new species record for this country) and South Africa.
Material examined. [Khomas] Windhoek Rural: Excelsior 286, 22.4500°S 17.6000°E (SMWN).
Remarks. The single specimen we examined is similar to H. africanus from Western and Northern Cape but the pronotum is more depressed anteriorly, the head and pronotum punctures are more subrugose and confluent, the head, pronotum and ventral setae are longer and distinctly golden. The mesosternum is illustrated in Fig. 16E. The elytral pattern and setation correspond to that of the var. insolita Péringuey, 1909, which was considered as a possible distinct species by the South African entomologist. The deeply examination of types of both africanus and var. insolita is basic to the resolution of this taxonomic problem.
Hycleus namaquus (Péringuey, 1909) comb. n. (Fig. 5F)
Decatoma namaqua Péringuey, 1909
Types. Types of this species were examined at SAMC.
Distribution. Southwestern Namibia (new species record for this country) and northwestern South Africa.
Material examined. [Karas] Lüderitz: Aus, 26.6667°S 16.2667°E (CP).
Remarks. Péringuey (1909) used in its monograph of southern African Meloidae the same name namaqua for two distinct blister beetles. The first name corresponds to a chromatic variation of H. haemactus (see above) and consequentlythe, representing only an intraspecific phenetic variation, is taxonomically unvalid. Therefore, the name namaquus is useful for the second taxon, which was described as distinct species in the genus Decatoma (a synonym of Hycleus) and which is referred to Hycleus for the first time in the present paper (comb. n.).
The mesosternal “scutum” is very narrow, intermediate between the Mesoscutatus and Mesotaeniatus - type lineages. Antennae have ten black antennomeres, but IV–VI reddish.

description: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kerugian yang timbul akibat wanprestasi dalam kontrak bisnis dari perspektif hukum. Wanprestasi atau pelanggaran kontrak terjadi ketika salah satu pihak dalam kontrak bisnis gagal memenuhi kewajibannya sebagaimana telah disepakati. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan analisis terhadap peraturan perundang-undangan, literatur hukum, dan putusan pengadilan yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kerugian yang diakibatkan oleh wanprestasi dapat berupa kerugian materiil maupun imateriil, yang keduanya berhak mendapatkan kompensasi berdasarkan hukum perdata Indonesia. Berdasarkan Pasal 1243 dan Pasal 1246 Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata (KUHPerdata), pihak yang dirugikan dapat menuntut ganti rugi yang mencakup kerugian nyata (actual loss) dan keuntungan yang diharapkan (lost profit). Namun, untuk mengklaim kerugian tersebut, pihak yang dirugikan harus dapat membuktikan adanya wanprestasi, adanya kerugian yang diderita, serta hubungan kausal antara wanprestasi dan kerugian yang timbul. Penelitian ini juga mengidentifikasi beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi tingkat keberhasilan tuntutan ganti rugi, termasuk ketentuan kontraktual, perilaku para pihak, dan interpretasi hakim terhadap bukti yang diajukan. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap pemahaman mengenai perlindungan hukum bagi pihak yang dirugikan dalam kontrak bisnis dan pentingnya penyusunan kontrak yang jelas dan terperinci untuk meminimalkan risiko wanprestasi.

description: UTILIZATION OF A COMPLIMENTARY MONITORING SYSTEM ON NORTH ANATOLIAN FAULT OF TURKIYE: MARTEST PROJECT

North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) which crosses through the entire Türkiye from the far west to east has been one of the most active tectonic structures in the World that created several major earthquakes with magnitudes over 7 in the last century.  The earthquake sequences historically proceeded from east to west of NAFZ. The most recent earthquake of magnitude Mw=7.4 struck in 1999 in the vicinity of Izmit province on the east end of Marmara Sea. Even though the earth observation networks such as strong ground motion and GNSS stations have been operated on either side of NAFZ, monitoring the segments of NAFZ under Marmara Sea is a challenging task. As part of the previous SATREPS project, called MARDIM that was successfully conducted between 2013-2018, a network of Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS) were temporarily placed on the west part of Marmara Sea for monitoring the seismic events. Following the valuable data set obtained from OBS observations during those years, a second SATREPS project, called MARTEST, was initiated as of June 2023 and expected to complete by 2028. The scope of MARTEST project includes the deployment of OBS stations in the east part of Marmara Sea and process of Digital Acoustic Sensing data recorded on two fiber optic cables that have been in use for communication. The two cables, at a length of 8 km and 26 km, cross over the east segment of NAFZ under the Marmara Sea. The DAS data recording from the cables will start as of mid-April 2024 using a brand-new interrogator. The initial tests on the recorded data will be the benchmarking of the quality of data and also determination of the signal characteristics (noise, reliability, accuracy etc.) from both of the cables. The preliminary results of the initial test will be presented in JPGU 2024. The more comprehensive process of DAS data in the light of OBS recordings as well as seismic/GNSS stations will start in the beginning of 2024 summer.
