Probabilistic estimation of rheological properties in subduction zones using sequences of earthquakes and aseismic slip by Tobias Köhne, Rishav Mallick, Mark Simons

“…Here, we find that the ability to fit surface observations using functional or mechanical models assuming frictional behavior does not constitute sufficient evidence to actually infer frictional behavior at depth, as the surface expressions are virtually indistinguishable from deformation generated from models with depth-variable power-law viscous behavior. …”

Experimental assessment of Acanthopagrus schlegelii biomass based on environmental DNA technology by Yan Liu, Mengyi Zhang, Liangming Wang, Changping Yang, Yukai Yang, Qijian Xie, Manting Liu, Cheng Chen, Chunbin Jia, Binbin Shan

“…The peak concentration of eDNA released by A. schlegelii was observed at 42 h, and the degradation process exhibited two stages: rapid and slow degradation, with a negative correlation between eDNA concentration and time. (2) By investigating the relationship between the concentration of A. schlegelii eDNA and biomass, it was demonstrated that Linear Models (LM) effectively captured this relationship, indicating a correlation between eDNA concentration and biomass. (3) The detection of A. schlegelii eDNA concentration under different salinity conditions revealed that the GAM model better reflected the relationship between eDNA and salinity, exhibiting a negative correlation. …”
