Managing risk to reduce disasters risk [PDF]
Journal of Engineering Management and Competitiveness, 2013 Experiences in the region show that disasters obtai n protracted and long-lasting characteristics, and from lessons learned so far it is necessary to find the direction for their outgoing or eliminatio n. Therefore, the author presents an inner view to ris k assessment as an integral part of decision making process in disasters and its implementation ...

NFS1 Regulates IDH2 to Attenuate Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms via Interacting With SP2
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The loss of NFS1 leads to its reduced binding with the transcription factor SP2, resulting in decreased expression of the downstream gene Idh2. This causes a shift in energy supply toward glycolysis in VSMCs, ultimately contributing to the occurrence and progression of AAA.

Generalized Mechanism Model for Ecosystem Hysteresis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A simplified model examines ecosystem transitions into alternative states after disturbances by leveraging positive and negative feedbacks. It identifies critical tipping points and quantifies hysteresis. Tests conducted on lakes, grasslands, and pitcher‐plant leaves align closely with empirical data and enable the prediction of recovery trajectories ...
