Unlocking seismic slope stability for risk assessment.

MethodsX

June 2025

National Advanced IPv6 Centre (Nav6), School of Computer Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 1800 Penang, Malaysia.

Slope instability represents a substantial secondary hazard post-earthquake, leading to considerable socio-economic losses from the destruction of structures, infrastructure, and human lives. This study addresses the urgent need for precise evaluation of seismic slope stability, a subject that has gained significant attention in earthquake engineering over the past decade. A theoretical framework is proposed that utilizes an improved Sarma method, estimating seismic forces and safety factors based on limit equilibrium theory.

Introduction: Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) represent a complex neurosurgical challenge with management strategies that vary significantly across regions. The decision to treat unruptured AVMs, in particular, is controversial, with options ranging from conservative management to surgical excision or endovascular embolization. This study investigates regional variations in treating unruptured and ruptured AVMs in the United States.

Synthetic Aspects and Characterization Needs in MOF Chemistry - from Discovery to Applications.

Adv Mater

January 2025

Institut des Matériaux Poreux de Paris, Ecole Normale Supérieure, ESPCI Paris, CNRS, PSL University, Paris, 75005, France.

Even if MOFs are recently developed for large-scale applications, the road to applications of MOFs is long and rocky. This requires to overcome challenges associated with phase discovery, synthesis optimization, basic and advanced characterization, and computational studies. Lab-scale results need to be transferred to large-scale processes, which is often not trivial, and life-cycle analyses and techno-economic analyses need to be performed to realistically assess their potential for industrial relevance.

Healthy ageing plays an important role in ageing societies in many countries, and centenarians are a sign of longevity. Longevity and its determinants have become issues of global concern and also a focus of research. Although many disciplines have conducted out a series of studies on longevity phenomena, few studies have systematically considered the impact of geographical environmental factors.

Hormonal induction and seasonal variation in male reproductive viability of the Southern Rocky Mountain boreal toad.

Anim Reprod Sci

February 2025

Conservation Biology Research Group, School of Environmental and Life Sciences, The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, NSW 2308, Australia.

The Southern Rocky Mountain boreal toad (Anaxyrus boreas boreas) depends on both the rearing of wild-collected egg masses and a long-standing conservation breeding program (CBP), the latter of which heavily relies on assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) to support wild populations. Achieving consistent reproductive success in the CBP, however, remains a significant challenge. Natural breeding has not led to a sustained increase in reproductive capacity, prompting the exploration of exogenous hormone treatments as an alternative strategy.
