However, its location accuracy is not high, especially for focal depth because the velocity model used for the conventional intersection method is based on homogeneous or laterally homogeneous media, which is too simple. In order to improve the accuracy, we have modified the existing intersection method. In the modified approach, the earthquake loci are not assumed to be circular or hyperbolic and calculation accuracy is improved using a minimum traveltime tree algorithm for tracing rays. The numerical model shows that the modified method can locate earthquakes in complex velocity models.展开更多

Specifically, Ni ions were incorporated to C03O4 nanosheets sandwiched by nanoneedles to form Co3O4/NiCo2O4 composite. As positive electrode for supercapacitors, the Co3O4/NiCo2O4 composite presents a high areal capacitance of 3.2 F cm^-2 （1060 F g^-1） at a current density of 5 mA cm^-2 and outstanding rate capability as well as long cycle stability. Moreover, the assembled aqueous asymmetric supercapacitor based on Co3O4/NiCo2O4//carbon cloth electrodes delivers a considerable energy density of 3.0 mW hcm^-3 at power density of 136 mW cm^-3, and high rate capability （85% retention at a current density of 30 mA cm^-2）. A safety light composed of ten green LEDs in parallel was lit for -360 s using two identical supercapacitors in series, indicating a promising practical application.展开更多
