Combining Soil Moisture and MT-InSAR Data to Evaluate Regional Landslide Susceptibility in Weining, China

Land, 2023
Landslide susceptibility maps (LSMs) play an important role in landslide hazard risk assessments, urban planning, and land resource management. While states of motion and dynamic factors are critical in the landslide formation process, these factors have

Moisture susceptibility of waste ceramic tiles modified asphalt mixtures

Research on Engineering Structures and Materials, 2023
Waste ceramic tiles have been recognized as viable in producing asphalt mixtures. However, the primary concern is the assurance of its durability, especially in terms of moisture damage. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixtures incorporating waste ceramic tiles (WCT).

Characterization of Clinical Phenotype to Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Concentrations in Alexander Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in Alexander disease (AxD) and whether GFAP levels are predictive of disease phenotypes. Methods CSF and plasma were collected (longitudinally when available) from AxD participants and non‐AxD controls.
