A longitudinal analysis of collapsibility with predictions over the southeastern Loess Plateau in China

Scientific Reports, 2021
Loess presents very unique collapsible behaviour due to its special under-compactness, weak cementation and porousness. Many environmental issues and geological hazards including subgrade subsidences, slope collapses or failures, building cracking and so

Therapeutic Efficacy of Endoscope‐Guided Coblation for Tongue Base Reduction as Part of Multilevel Surgery in Moderate to Severe OSA Patients

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) frequently results from multilevel upper airway obstruction involving the palate, lateral walls, and tongue base. Among various techniques, endoscope‐guided coblation for tongue base reduction (TBR) provides precise resection with excellent hemostasis and minimal morbidity.

Experimental study on collapsible and structural characteristics of artificially prepared loess material

Scientific Reports, 2023
Collapsibility and structural are two of the typical characteristics of natural undisturbed loess. It is of great significance to effectively simulate the collapsibility and structural of natural loess by preparing artificially loess.

Multi‐trophic bottom‐up effects of plant functional diversity on arthropod communities in a tropical forest restoration experiment

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant diversity affects both ecosystem functioning and the functional and taxonomic diversity of multiple trophic levels. However, in the literature, it is unclear if this pattern is driven by species richness per se or by the functional diversity or composition (e.g ...

Collapse of rockfill

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1991
Os materiais de enrocamento exibem deformações devidas à molhagem ou saturação. Nesta comunicação são apresentados resultados de enrocamentos de baixa e elevada resistência ensaiados em cmaras de compressão unidimensional e compressão triaxial com vista à quantificação do fenómeno.

Improving Collapsibility and Compressibility of Gypseous Sandy Soil Using Bentonite and Kaolinite [PDF]

Engineering and Technology Journal, 2012
The sandy soil which covers the surface layer for the investigated area consists of high gypsum content (50%). The soil was found to be a “collapsible” soil. Thus bentonite and kaolinite have been used as an improving agents for such soil.

#NoIDVape: A content analysis of illicit vape messaging in young people's information sources

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims In recent years, the increased prevalence of youth vaping in the United Kingdom (UK) may have coincided with a proliferation in the use of ‘illicit’ (unregulated) vapes. Media or educational content about illicit vaping aimed at young people is scarce and poorly understood.

Effects of Soluble Salt on Mechanical Properties in a Loess Saline Soil Site

Taiyuan Ligong Daxue xuebao
[Purposes] The mechanical properties of loess saline soil are greatly affected by soluble salts. Especially, the contribution of collapsibility coefficient produced by soluble salts to collapsibility coefficient is difficult to evaluate. [Methods] On the
