Protection of green ash trees (Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marshall) from the emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, by soil applications of neonicotinoids (imidacloprid, clothianidin, and dinotefuran) was tested at five locations between 2005 and 2013. Application rate and spring versus fall application dates were evaluated in tests with neighborhood street trees and in one planta…

The invasion by Halyomorpha halys (Sta� l) and an increasing abundance of native Pentatomidae pose a threat to soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill, production in northern states. A risk assessment framework was used to provide an initial assessment of the risk of Pentatomidae affecting soybean production in northern states. A caged field study was performed over two years to assess the respo…

Wheat stem sawfly (WSS), Cephus cinctus Norton (Hymenoptera: Cephidae), has recently emerged as a key pest of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the Great Plains and Canadian provinces. The expanding impact of WSS has caused considerable economic losses to wheat production. Solid-stem varieties of wheat remain the only effective measure of suppression of WSS, and the goal of this research was to …

Previous formalisms for determining the static perturbation of spherically symmetric selfgravitating elastic Earth models due to displacement dislocations deal with each infinitesimal element of the fault system in its epicentral reference frame. In this work, we overcome this restriction and present novel and compact formulas for obtaining the perturbation due to the whole fault system in an a…

Mantle control on the geodynamo is often simulated using numerical dynamos with imposed outer boundary heat flux inferred from lower mantle tomography, assuming that seismic and thermal anomalies in the lowermost mantle are highly correlated. However, non-thermal effects might perturb this idealized linear seismic–thermalmapping. Here we use a probabilistic tomography model to isolate the the…

This paper presents efficient numerical schemes for 3-D gravity field inversion. We propose a 2-D multilayer model to approximate a 3-D density distribution, and prove that the solution of the multilayer model will converge to the discretized 3-D solution. Differed from the conventional fast Fourier transform (FFT) based methods in which FFT is applied to the kernel, the proposed approach dire…

The fate of subducted slabs is enigmatic, yet intriguing. We analyse seismic arrivals at ∼20–50 s after the direct P wave in an array in northeast China (NECESSArray) recordings of four deep earthquakes occurring beneath the west-central Pacific subduction zones (from the eastern Indonesia to Tonga region). We employ the array analysing techniques of fourth root vespagram and beam-form…

Using empirical matched field processing (MFP), we compare 4 yr of continuous seismic data to a set of 195 master templates from within an active geothermal field and identify over 140 per cent more events than were identified using traditional detection and location techniques alone. In managed underground reservoirs, a substantial fraction of seismic events can be excluded from the official c…
