Impact of vehicle speeds and changes in mean speeds on per vehicle-kilometer traffic accident rates in Japan
Abstract Speed and speed variation are widely believed to be key issues in the understanding of traffic accidents. However, there has not been a substantial amount of research that focuses on the interaction between the mean speed and the change in...

Tandem planet formation for solar system-like planetary systems
Abstract We present a new united theory of planet formation, which includes magneto-rotational instability (MRI) and porous aggregation of solid particles in a consistent way. We show that the “tandem planet formation” regime is likely to result in...

The effect of large reservoirs impoundment to the spatial and temporal variations of regional crustal deformation in Hubei Province, China
Abstract The total capacity of Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) and Danjiangkou Reservoir (DJR) is large and has significant seasonal fluctuations, which give rise to crustal instability. In this research, we focus on studying the temporal and spatial...

Rheological weakening of high-grade mylonites during low-temperature retrogression: The exhumed continental Ailao Shan-Red River fault zone, SE Asia
Abstract We present a detailed case study of an exhumed continental strike-slip fault zone, the Ailao Shan-Red River (ASRR) strike-slip fault zone, to investigate how deformation promotes strain localization, and how the weak second phases and...
