Analysis of Damage due to the M6.4 Tuban-Bawean Earthquake using Remote Sensing by Tuasamu Siti Asmayanti, Cahyadi Mokhamad Nur, Komalasari Nilam, Nusantara Candida Aulia De Silva, Widodo Amien, Widjajanti Nurrohmat, Aprianti Evi, Kusumawardani Deni, Rahmawati Yessi, Azizi Iqbal Hanun

“…On the other hand, volcanic rocks (Qv) composed of alternating lava, breccia and tuff tend to experience greater deformation because they are easily affected by tectonic forces. This study concludes that the integration of remote sensing techniques, Okada modeling, and geophysical analysis provides a comprehensive understanding for post-earthquake analysis. …”

Post-Hercynian ultrahigh-temperature tectono-metamorphic evolution of the Middle Atlas lower crust (central Morocco) revealed by metapelitic granulite xenoliths by A. El Maz, A. Vauchez, J.-M. Dautria

“…The latter displays uncommon evidence of the dislocation creep deformation of a moderate intensity that points to a tectonic episode occurring after their formation. After deformation has stopped, a reaction between sillimanite and garnet resulted in the crystallization of orthopyroxene and spinel-deformation-free coronas around garnets. …”

Factors Influencing Efficacy of Peripheral Corneal Relaxing Incisions during Cataract Surgery by Nino Hirnschall, Jörg Wiesinger, Petra Draschl, Oliver Findl

“…Additionally, corneal topography (Atlas model 9000, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Germany), ORA (Ocular Response Analyzer, Reichert Ophthalmic Instruments, USA), and autorefraction (Autorefractometer RM 8800 Topcon) were performed postoperatively. Results. Mean age of the study population n=74 was 73.5 years (±9.3; range: 53 to 90) and mean corneal astigmatism preoperatively was −1.82 D (±0.59; 1.00 to 4.50). …”

The Disk Wind Contribution to the Gamma-Ray Emission from the Nearby Seyfert Galaxy GRS 1734−292 by Nobuyuki Sakai, Tomoya Yamada, Yoshiyuki Inoue, Ellis R. Owen, Tomonari Michiyama, Ryota Tomaru, Yasushi Fukazawa

“…Using a lepto-hadronic emission model based on a shocked ambient medium and a shocked wind region created by an AGN accretion disk wind, we identify two viable scenarios that are consistent with the Fermi-LAT data and multiwavelength observations: a hadronic pp -dominated scenario and a leptonic external-Compton-dominated scenario. Both of these show that future observations with the Cherenkov Telescope Array and the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory could detect TeV emission from a disk wind in GRS 1734−292. …”
