The eye’s coral reef: toward a planetary-health agenda for ocular-microbiome stewardship [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyCoral reefs and the human ocular surface represent ecologically distinct yet structurally comparable microbial ecosystems in which resilience depends on finely regulated host–microbe interactions.

Social determinants, conflict, and displacement: reframing oral health in humanitarian action [PDF]
Frontiers in Public HealthOral health is a fundamental component of overall health, yet it remains chronically excluded from humanitarian response frameworks. Displaced populations, including refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), experience a disproportionate burden ...

Atypical amniotic fluid embolism presenting with isolated coagulopathy: a case report [PDF]
BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthBackground Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but catastrophic obstetric complication characterised by the sudden entry of amniotic fluid or fetal components into the maternal circulation, triggering severe cardiorespiratory collapse, coagulopathy ...

Outrigger Systems to Mitigate Disproportionate Collapse in Building Structures
Procedia Engineering, 2016 AbstractOutrigger systems are often used to transfer lateral forces to the foundation. They are particularly designed to control drift in tall buildings due to wind and seismic forces. Progressive collapse resistant design focusses on reducing the risk of the disproportionate collapse associated with the loss of primary load-carrying elements.

Disproportionate collapse analysis of cable-stayed steel roofs for cable loss
International Journal of Steel Structures, 2011 Disproportionate collapse has been identified lately as a real cause of failure for structural engineering projects. Rare and unexpected, the phenomenon of disproportionate collapse usually results to many fatalities and thus, its analysis and mitigation is deemed necessary.

Microbiome interactions and their ecological implications at the Salton Sea
California Agriculture, 2022 Although the Salton Sea was once a thriving destination for humans and wildlife, it has now degraded to the point of ecosystem collapse. Increases in local dust emissions have introduced aeolian (wind-blown) microorganisms that travel, along with ...

Numerical Study of Progressive Collapse in Intermediate Moment Resisting Reinforced Concrete Frame Due to Column Removal [PDF]
Civil Engineering Infrastructures Journal, 2014 Progressive collapse is a chain reaction of failures propagating throughout a portion of the structure disproportionate to the original local failure occurring when a sudden loss of a critical load‐bearing element initiates a structural element failure ...
