A step toward a micromechanics‐informed neural network for predicting asphalt mixture stiffness
Abstract Asphalt mixtures show complex mechanical behavior due to their heterogeneous structure. Traditionally, the mechanical characterization of asphalt mixture is done through laboratory testing or micromechanical modeling. While laboratory tests and micromechanical models provide reliable measurements and physical interpretability, they are often ...

Satellite SAR Interferometry for Earth’s Crust Deformation Monitoring and Geological Phenomena Analysis [PDF]
Synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) and the related processing techniques provide a unique tool for the quantitative measurement of the Earth’s surface deformation associated with certain geophysical processes (such as volcanic eruptions ...

The Cost of Consumer Collateral: Evidence From Bunching
How do collateral requirements impact consumer borrowing behavior? Using administrative loan application and performance data from the U.S. Federal Disaster Loan Program, we exploit a loan amount threshold above which households must post their residence as collateral. Our bunching estimates suggest that the median borrower is willing to give up 40% of

An integrative review of land subsidence dynamics and monitoring in Nigeria
Land subsidence is a growing environmental issue in Nigeria, particularly in low-lying, densely populated regions such as Lagos and the Niger Delta. Land subsidence is primarily driven by human activities, including excessive groundwater extraction, oil ...

Abstract We use creepmeter (CM), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) observations to characterize transient aseismic deformation along the central Dead Sea pull‐apart basin, which is located at the southern part of the sinistral Dead Sea Fault (DSF).

Topological Characterization and Advanced Noise-Filtering Techniques for Phase Unwrapping of Interferometric Data Stacks [PDF]
This chapter addresses the problem of phase unwrapping interferometric data stacks, obtained by multiple SAR acquisitions over the same area on the ground, with a twofold objective.

Slow‐moving landslides along reservoir banks often act as precursors to catastrophic failures, which could lead to significant risks to human lives and critical infrastructures. Fortunately, interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), with its wide‐area, lightweight, and all‐weather monitoring capabilities, provides a promising method for ...

InSAR Monitoring of Italian Coastline Revealing Natural and Anthropogenic Ground Deformation Phenomena and Future Perspectives [PDF]
In this work, we use X and C-band SAR data provided by the COSMO-SkyMed and ENVISAT missions to detect and measure some ground deformation phenomena along six coastal areas of Italy.

Abstract Background The challenging management of melasma highlights the inadequacies of conventional therapies and their high risk of recurrence. Integrating microneedling for device‐assisted drug delivery with tranexamic acid (TA), recognized for its melanin synthesis inhibition, presents a novel approach that warrants further investigation to fully ...
