The core‐mantle boundary (CMB) and the outermost core are dynamic and heterogeneous regions with time‐dependent flows. We examine two seismic raypaths, diffracted P and PKP precursors—both replete with scattering, with precisely repeating earthquakes. These earthquakes, occurring in the South Sandwich Islands, were recorded on the Yellowknife array...

For a long time, Taiwan was an island relatively unknown within the Chinese realm. The defeat of the Ming loyalist forces in 1683 would result in the island becoming an official imperial possession of the Qing empire.

The Hilda group is a set of asteroids whose mean motion is in a 3:2 orbital resonance with Jupiter. In this paper, we use the planar Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem (CRTBP) as a dynamical model and we show that there exists a family of stable periodic orbits that are surrounded by islands of quasi-periodic motions. We have computed the frequ...

Earlier scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies have shown that nitrogen forms square c(2×2) islands on Cu(100) surfaces, the assembly of which depends on coverage. Recent calculations have revealed that adatom‐adatom interactions are compatible with the formation of square c(2×2) islands. The pair distribution of these islands is a topic of th...
