Aftershock distribution of the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake, Japan, determined using a 3D velocity structure and uncertainty quantification by Takahiro Shiina, Haruo Horikawa, Yasunori Sawaki, Kodai Sagae, Kazutoshi Imanishi

“…The Mj7.6 earthquake triggered a series of extensive aftershocks spanning approximately 150 km from the southwest coast to the northeast offshore region of the peninsula. While the aftershock distributions likely reflect spatial characteristics of the fault system underlying the Mj7.6 earthquake, the locations of offshore aftershocks remain poorly constrained due to the use of a simplified, land-optimized velocity model. …”

The impact of wage structure and ability on the incentives for practitioners to engage in primary care in China: a mathematical analysis based on the incentive mechanism of heterog... by Yuxun Zhou, Ren Long, Xiaoyun Liu

“…Subsequently, we utilize tripartite evolutionary games to analyze the dynamic process of participation strategies to the primary health care with high—and less experienced practitioners.FindingsOur study yields four main findings: (1) Under an effective separating equilibrium, high-quality practitioners receive information rent, and there is no distortion at the top, while less experienced practitioners face allocation distortion. (2) When the performance risk of less experienced practitioners is greater than or equal to that of high-quality practitioners, reducing the performance risk of less experienced practitioners is an effective method of increasing their performance wage. …”
