Structural Evolution of a Crustal-Scale Seismogenic Fault in a Magmatic Arc: The Bolfin Fault Zone (Atacama Fault System)
Get PDFHow major crustal-scale seismogenic faults nucleate and evolve in crystalline basements represents a long-standing, but poorly understood, issue in structural geology and fault mechanics.
Here, we address the spatio-temporal evolution of the Bolfin Fault Zone (BFZ), a >40-km-long exhumed seismogenic splay fault of the 1000-km-long strike-slip Atacama Fault System. The BFZ has a sinuous fault trace across the Mesozoic magmatic arc of the Coastal Cordillera (Northern Chile) and formed during the oblique subduction of the Aluk plate beneath the South American plate. Seismic faulting occurred at 5–7 km depth and ≤ 300°C in a fluid-rich environment as recorded by extensive propylitic
alteration and epidote-chlorite veining. Ancient (125–118 Ma) seismicity is attested by the widespread occurrence of pseudotachylytes. Field geologic surveys indicate nucleation of the BFZ on precursory geometrical anisotropies represented by magmatic foliation of plutons (northern and central segments) and andesitic dyke swarms (southern segment) within the heterogeneous crystalline basement. Seismic faulting exploited the segments of precursory anisotropies that were optimal to favorably oriented with respect to the long-term far-stress field associated with the oblique ancient subduction. The large-scale sinuous geometry of the BFZ resulted from the hard linkage of these anisotropy-pinned segments during fault growth

Alternative parameter learning schemes for monitoring process stability
No full textIn statistical process control, accurately estimating in-control (IC) parameters is crucial for effective monitoring. This typically requires a Phase I analysis to obtain estimates before monitoring commences. The traditional “fixed” estimate (FE) approach uses these estimates exclusively, while the “adaptive” estimate (AE) approach updates the estimates with each new observation. Such extreme criteria reflect the traditional bias-variance tradeoff in the framework of the sequential parameter learning schemes. This paper proposes an intermediate update rule that generalizes two ad hoc criteria for monitoring univariate Gaussian data, by giving a lower probability to parameter updates when an out-of-control (OC) situation is likely, therefore updating more frequently when there is no evidence of an OC scenario. The simulation study shows that this approach improves the detection power for small and early shifts, which are commonly regarded as a weakness of control charts based on fully online adaptive estimation. The paper also shows that the proposed method performs similarly to the fully adaptive procedure for larger or later shifts. The proposed method is illustrated by monitoring the sudden increase in ICU counts during the 2020 COVID outbreak in New York

Clinical and biochemical data for the diagnosis of endogenous hypercortisolism: the “Cushingomic” approach
No full textBackground: The recommended first-line screening tests for Cushing’s syndrome (CS) are cortisol after dexamethasone suppression test (DS), 24h urinary free cortisol (UFC), and late night salivary cortisol (LNSC). We collected them and evaluated in combination with the clinical presentation of suspected CS.
Methods: We analysed 1-mg DST (with dexamethasone levels), UFC and LNSC (with tandem-mass spectrometry) in patients without CS (263 suspected CS, 319 adrenal and 33 pituitary incidentalomas) and 40 confirmed CS. Non-parametric multivariate methods (principal component analysis, K-means clustering, random forest, and supervised learning algorithm) were used to compute an integrated analysis among screening tests (1-mg DST, UFC, LNSC), cortisol-related comorbidities and signs/symptoms of CS.
Findings: The three tests were able to individuate CS, cortisol after DST and UFC were slightly superior to LNSC. The threshold of 1-mg DST should be adapted to the population considered, especially in adrenal incidentaloma with mild autonomous cortisol secretion, the results of UFC and LNSC were independent of the group or high-risk condition considered. Some cortisol-related comorbidities were more common in patients without CS (diabetes, hypertension, and obesity), their correlation with screening tests was poor: the direction of their vectors was not aligned. A neural network model that combined screening tests and clinical presentation was able to predict the CS diagnosis in the validation cohort with 99% sensitivity, 86% specificity, 99% precision and 86% accuracy.
Interpretation: Screening tests for CS performed adequately. The presence of cortisol-related comorbidities and mild autonomous cortisol secretion in adrenal incidentalomas should be interpreted carefully

Seismic cycle in bituminous dolostones (Monte Camicia Thrust, Central Apennines, Italy)
No full textSeismic ruptures often propagate along fault zones cutting km-thick sequences of carbonates (e.g., Wenchuan Mw 7.8, 2008, China; L’Aquila Mw 6.1, 2009, Italy). As a consequence, fault rock assemblages may record the seismic cycle under a wide range of loading conditions, temperatures (up to 1250°C during co-seismic slip), and fluid-rock interactions. The Monte Camicia Thrust in the Italian Central Apennines is exhumed from ∼3 km depth. The footwall rocks are made of bituminous dolostones cut by a network of faults accommodating up to several meters of displacement. Fault slip zones are mm– to cm–thick and bounded by ultra-polished (“mirror-like”) surfaces independently of their displacement. Deformation in the studied slip zones is accommodated by cataclasis and pressure solution in carbonates, and viscous flow in the foliated bitumen. Some of the faults with displacements > 0.10 m have multiple slip zones, separated by “mirror-like” surfaces, and include clasts of foliated bitumen and fragments of older slip zones sealed by calcite precipitation. We conclude that (1) slip zones record post- to inter-seismic (foliated bitumen) and co-seismic (fragments of bitumen) deformation in a fluid-rich environment (calcite precipitation) and (2) mirror-like surfaces formed during all stages of the seismic cycle
