XYtracker: a new approach to estimate fault rupture extent in real time for large earthquakes
Abstract We present a methodology for estimating fault geometry and utilizing the distance to the fault for the shaking estimation to improve the accuracy of real-time shaking estimates for large earthquakes.Most of the earthquake early warning system currently estimates the seismic intensity with the ground-motion prediction equations (GMPE) as a
Seasonal occurrence and local coexistence within scarabaeid dung beetle guilds (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) in Tunisian pasture
Dung beetle assemblages were monitored using baited pitfall traps from January to December 2006 in Northern Tunisia.4,965 beetles belonging to 37 species Baby Nest were trapped.Aphodius lineolatus and Onthophagus taurus dominated the assemblages.Results showed a significant seasonal variation in assemblage composition, and diversity.There were four
