Integration of Physics‐Based and Data‐Driven Approaches for Landslide Susceptibility Assessment
ABSTRACT Rainfall‐triggered landslides pose a significant threat to communities and infrastructure around the world. Various data‐driven and machine learning (ML) based algorithms have been applied to assess landslide susceptibility. However, purely data‐driven methods are affected by issues such as uncertainty in the selection of landslide ...

A novel approach for the computation of soil slope stability in distributed hydrologic applications
This paper introduces a novel methodology for the computation of slope stability at catchment scale, coupled with a hydrological model. The method improves the existing Janbu’s method of slices: a series of benchmarks are provided in order to prove that the proposed methodology outperforms the widely used Infinite Slope model.

Abstract Regional‐scale characterization of shallow landslide hazards is important for reducing their destructive impact on society. These hazards are commonly characterized by (a) their location and likelihood using susceptibility maps, (b) landslide size and frequency using geomorphic scaling laws, and (c) the magnitude of disturbance required to ...

Cracking the type 1 diabetes code: Genes, microbes, immunity, and the early life environment
Summary Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from a complex interplay of genetic predisposition, immunological dysregulation, and environmental triggers, that culminate in the destruction of insulin‐secreting pancreatic β cells. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the multiple factors underpinning T1D pathogenesis, to elucidate key mechanisms ...

Constructing Rainfall Threshold for Debris Flows of a Defined Hazardous Magnitude
Debris flow can cause damage only when its discharge exceeds the drainage capacity of the prevention engineering. At present, most rainfall thresholds for debris flows mainly focus on the initiation of debris flow and do not adequately consider the ...
