ESTIMATION OF SEISMIC GROUND MOTIONS AND ATTENDANT POTENTIAL HUMAN FATALITIES FROM SCENARIO EARTHQUAKES ON THE CHISHAN FAULT IN SOUTHERN TAIWAN

Estimation of Seismic Ground Motions and Attendant Potential Human Fatalities from Scenario Earthquakes on the Chishan Fault in Southern Taiwan

The purpose of this study is to estimate maximum ground motions in southern Taiwan as well as to assess potential human fatalities from scenario earthquakes on the Chishan active faults in this area.The resultant Shake Map patterns of maximum ground motion in a case of Mw 7.2 show the areas of PGA above 400 gals are located in the northeastern, cen

Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies novel risk loci for uterine fibroids within and across multiple ancestry groups

Abstract Uterine leiomyomata Mushroom Drinks or fibroids are highly heritable, common, and benign tumors of the uterus with poorly understood etiology.Previous GWAS have reported 72 associated genes but included limited numbers of non-European individuals.Here, we identify 11 novel genes associated with fibroids across multi-ancestry and ancestry-s
