Strengthening urban resilience in China through underground infrastructures management: Addressing global climate challenges with technological solutions

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper explores how climate‐resilient technologies, such as smart grids, digital twins, and self‐healing materials, can enhance urban resilience. It highlights the urgent need for proactive planning, public‐private collaboration, and data‐driven innovation to future‐proof underground infrastructure amid accelerating climate and urban pressures ...

Quantifying paleoprecipitation of the Luochuan and Sanmenxia Loess on the Chinese Loess Plateau

, 2016
Paleoprecipitation is one of the most important paleoclimatic factors for monsoon studies. Magnetic properties of the Chinese loess/paleosol sequences have been demonstrated to be controlled strongly by the mean annual precipitation (MAP). In this study,

Patterns of seizure frequency reduction in clinical trial participants with lower baseline seizure frequency

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Inclusion and exclusion criteria of clinical trials for seizures aim to select representative participants with a high enough seizure frequency to evaluate the efficacy of treatment in a relatively short double‐blind period. To inform the selection of seizure frequency‐based inclusion criteria, we evaluated the association between ...

Decoupling of microbial diversity and ecosystem function driven by metal ions and nutrient shifts across dry-wet seasons in a temperate river basin

Global Ecology and Conservation
Microbial communities are key drivers of biogeochemical cycles and water-quality regulation in freshwater ecosystems. However, how these communities respond to climatic and environmental changes at the watershed scale across dry and wet seasons remains ...

Magnetic stratigraphy constraints on the Matuyama-Brunhes boundary recorded in a loess section at the southern margin of Chinese Loess Plateau

, 2016
Although the Matuyama-Brunhes boundary (MBB) in the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is very important in reliably correlating Quaternary loess with other sediments in the world, particularly with marine and polar ice cores, its exact stratigraphic position ...

Can we predict surgical outcomes: A systematic review and critical appraisal of clinical prediction models in epilepsy surgery

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Prediction models are increasingly being sought in epilepsy surgery to predict postoperative outcomes and support clinical decision‐making. Studies summarizing the evidence in this area can provide insight into the type of surgical prediction models, their methodology, and their performance and inform areas for future research.

Behaviors of dynamic modulus and damping ratio of loess in Gannan region of Gansu Province

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017
The dynamic constitutive relation of redeposited loess in Gannan region is investigated based on the dynamic triaxial tests. The model parameters are obtained, and the behaviors of dynamic shear modulus ratio and damping ratio are analyzed.

Venous blood lactate concentration as a predictor of intestinal viability in horses with acquired indirect inguinal hernia

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Acquired indirect inguinal hernia represents a life‐threatening emergency. Therapeutic decision‐making largely depends on intestinal viability, for which specific predictive parameters (such as venous lactate) have not been evaluated.

Unravelling upbuilding pedogenesis in tephra and loess sequences in New Zealand using tephrochronology

, 2010
The genesis of soils developed in either tephra or loess on stable sites differs markedly from that of soils developed on rock because classical topdown processes operate in conjuction with geological processes whereby material is added to the land ...
