We use optical image correlation of historical aerial photographs, and modern satellite images to investigate the 1978 Mw 7.3 Tabas-e-Golshan thrust earthquake in eastern Iran. Correlation of images ...between 1974 and 1991 reveals a near-surface shortening component of ∼2.9 m across the margin of the Tabas fold, which is a combination of coseismic and postseismic deformation. Correlation of images between 1991 and 2013 shows a further ∼0.3 m of postseismic shortening. Using six pre-earthquake aerial photographs acquired in 1956 and stereo SPOT-6 imagery from 2013, we also generate pre- and post-earthquake digital elevation models (DEMs) for one of the main fold segments. Differencing of the two DEMs reveals a height change of ∼4.7 m. Elastic dislocation modelling of the 1974–2013 displacement field requires 7 m slip on a 50° dipping fault, extending from a depth of 0.1 km to 6 km at its base (the majority of slip, ∼6.5 m, occurred prior to 1991). Our results, combined with previous InSAR observations, indicate time-decaying shallow postseismic afterslip. It is likely that most of the afterslip occurred prior to 1991. The slip appears to dissipate in the near surface, and is accommodated as a narrow band of flexural slip on bedding planes. Comparison of the fault slip model with terrace heights measured from the SPOT-6 DEM suggests that the Tabas fold system may exhibit characteristic slip behaviour. Such behaviour would require a magnitude Mw 7.3 earthquake every ∼3500 years, based on the previously estimated shortening rate of ∼1.0 mm/yr. This study highlights the usefulness of historical imagery in investigating past earthquakes, thus providing new information about historical faulting in continental regions.

The end-Permian mass extinction (EPME) led to a severe terrestrial ecosystem collapse. However, the ecological response of insects to the EPME remains poorly understood. Here, we report a new species ...assigned to
Chauliodites
,
Chauliodites tongchuanensis
sp. nov. (Grylloblattida: Chaulioditidae), from the Middle Triassic Tongchuan Formation of Shaanxi, northwestern China, and redescribe
Chauliodites fuyuanensis
(
Lin, 1978
) from the Lower Triassic Kayitou Formation of Yunnan and
Chauliodites nanshenghuensis
(
Lin, 1978
) comb. nov. from the Middle Triassic of Guizhou, southwestern China. Our results show that
Chauliodites
widely distributed after the EPME is probably related to the rise of isoetalean-dominated low-productivity terrestrial ecosystems.
The objective of this article is to analyze the representation of motherhood in a selection of short stories by Mariana Enriquez and Samanta Schweblin as read within the conventions of the gothic ...genre. The analysis of these motives within the stories allow the exploration of the horrors associated to mothering within patriarchal contexts, that escape the representative possibilities of realism. Este artículo lee la representación de la maternidad en los cuentos "El chico sucio", "El patio del vecino", y "Verde rojo anaranjado" de Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego de Mariana Enriquez (2016), y "Conservas", "En la estepa" de Pájaros en la boca y "Nada de esto" de Siete casas vacías de Samanta Schweblin (2015b y 2015a, respectivamente), como relatos en los que se "entierra viva" la figura de la madre. Los estados de semi-conciencia, las drogas, el fetichismo demoníaco, las mujeres vampiras, enfermas o muertas, funcionan no solo en Darío como tropos modernistas, sino también en autores como el guatemalteco Vargas Vila o el peruano Clemente Palma, quienes encuentran en el gótico y en especial en E.A. Poe un imaginario para hablar de su condición poscolonial y el desafío tanto conceptual como material de representar los espacios geográficos extremos de Latinoamérica1.

El Papa, cuyo Pontificado de 33 días pasó como una sonrisa, enseñó una hermosa lección a los teólogos sobre las implicaciones catequéticas de la teología. Desde 1.937 se había desempeñado como ...profesor de teología dogmática en el Seminario de Belluno, actividad que compaginó más tarde con la de profesor de derecho canónico, de Escritura, de Moral, de Patrística y de historia del arte.

The crisis between Argentina and Chile during the year 1978 has been the subject of several
investigations on both sides of the mountain range. The proposal of this study is to analyze the conflict
...through the Chilean cartoonists who published in the main media of national circulation. In general
terms, the review of the cartoons, in contrast to the press reports, makes it clear that it was through the
cartoons that the media expressed its most critical position on Argentine politics. The moderation of the
editorials, press releases and reports contrasts with the aggressiveness of the Chilean cartoonists in
response to the constant aggression of the argentine military dictatorship, their diplomacy and the
Andean press.
La crisis entre Argentina y Chile durante el año 1978 ha sido objeto de diversas investigaciones en los dos lados de la cordillera. La propuesta de este estudio es analizar el conflicto a través de los caricaturistas chilenos que publicaron en los principales medios de circulación nacional. En términos generales, la revisión de las viñetas, en contraste con las informaciones de prensa, deja en evidencia que fue por intermedio de las caricaturas que los medios manifestaron su postura más crítica respecto a la política argentina. La mesura de las editoriales, notas de prensa y reportajes contrasta con la agresividad que manifestaron los caricaturistas chilenos como respuesta a las constantes agresiones de la dictadura militar argentina, su diplomacia y la prensa trasandina.
Context. The equivalent mutant problem (EMP) is one of the crucial problems in mutation testing widely studied over decades. Objectives. The objectives are: to present a systematic literature review ...(SLR) in the field of EMP; to identify, classify and improve the existing, or implement new, methods which try to overcome EMP and evaluate them. Method. We performed SLR based on the search of digital libraries. We implemented four second order mutation (SOM) strategies, in addition to first order mutation (FOM), and compared them from different perspectives. Results. Our SLR identified 17 relevant techniques (in 22 articles) and three categories of techniques: detecting (DEM); suggesting (SEM); and avoiding equivalent mutant generation (AEMG). The experiment indicated that SOM in general and JudyDiffOp strategy in particular provide the best results in the following areas: total number of mutants generated; the association between the type of mutation strategy and whether the generated mutants were equivalent or not; the number of not killed mutants; mutation testing time; time needed for manual classification. Conclusions . The results in the DEM category are still far from perfect. Thus, the SEM and AEMG categories have been developed. The JudyDiffOp algorithm achieved good results in many areas.
Spectra of the intermediate-age star cluster NGC 1978 and the dwarf irregular galaxies NGC 55 and NGC 3109 are discussed. The spectra were recorded with the Gemini Multi-object Spectrograph on Gemini ...South and span the 0.7-1.1 m wavelength interval. Five slit pointings were observed in NGC 1978, and these are used to examine stochastic effects on the integrated red light from an intermediate-age cluster. The removal of either the brightest M giant or the brightest C star from the co-added spectrum has minor effects on the equivalent withs of the Ca triplet. The most robust signature of C stars in the integrated cluster spectrum at these wavelengths is the CN band head near 7900 . The equivalent widths of Ca triplet lines in the NGC 1978 spectrum and in the spectra of individual cluster stars are larger than expected for a scaled-solar abundance system. It is suggested that these stars have a lower than expected surface gravity, which might occur if the stars in NGC 1978 have been subject to extra mixing processes, as suggested by Lederer et al. The near-infrared color profile of NGC 1978 is shown to contain a prominent red cusp in the central 10 arcsec, and the suppression of light from this cusp does not affect the depth of the Ca lines in the integrated spectrum. The NGC 55 spectra run parallel to the major axis, and a gradient is found in the strength of the Ca lines, in the sense that the Ca lines weaken with increasing distance from the disk plane. Comparisons with models suggest that the disk light is dominated by stars with ages 1-2 Gyr, in agreement with star-forming histories (SFHs) obtained from the analysis of color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). The NGC 55 spectra also sample a large star-forming complex. The age of this complex inferred from comparisons with models is broadly consistent with that estimated from a near-infrared CMD of the same region. The CN band head at 7900 in this part of NGC 55 is detected, but this is likely a signature of red supergiants (RSGs) rather than C stars. The NGC 3109 observations sample three different parts of that galaxy but have a low signal-to-noise ratio. Comparisons with models suggest that the light from the NGC 3109 disk at red wavelengths is dominated by RSGs with ages of at most a few tens of Myr, in qualitative agreement with SFHs that are based on photometric measurements.
