Sentence examples for extended rupture from inspiring English sources

We attribute the measured adhesive signatures to the hydrophobic binding of cell surface pili as (i) these features were never observed on pili-less mutant cells (see Figure 2 and text below for details), and (ii) the extended rupture lengths (up to 2000 nm) are consistent with the average pili length.

Great earthquakes, characterized by their extending rupture areas, provide unique opportunities to overcome the above-mentioned two shortcomings (Jiang and Wu, 2005, 2006b, 2010; Mignan et al., 2006).

Great earthquakes with extending rupture areas, such as the March 11 , 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku, Japan, M 9 earthquake, provide opportunities to inspect some details of the pre-shock moment release with the reference of the earthquake preparation and rupture processes.

Stochastic simulations for both point source and extended fault ruptures that used region-specific crustal attenuation and source scaling (D'Amico et al. 2012) successfully predicted the strong motions of the Chi-Chi earthquake.
