Hazard analysts and risk managers of natural perils, such as earthquakes, landslides and floods, need to access information from sensor networks surveying their regions of interest. However, currently information about these networks is difficult to obtain and is available in varying formats, thereby restricting accesses and consequently possibly leading to decision-making based on limited information. As a response to this issue, state-of-the-art interoperable catalogues are being currently developed within the framework of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) workplan. This article provides an overview of the prototype catalogue that was developed to improve access to information about the sensor networks surveying geological hazards (geohazards), such as earthquakes, landslides and volcanoes.

Due to the extensive use of explosives, the failure to identify hazards and assess risks in blasting may lead to catastrophic consequences. However, classical risk assessment approaches are limited in their ability to address ambiguity and uncertainty, as well as in assigning weights to the criteria involved in the risk assessment process. This study employs a multi-criteria decision-making system to address these limitations and assess the risks associated with blasting.

Industrialization has led to environmental pollution with various hazardous chemicals including pollution with metals. In this regard, the development of highly efficient analytical methods for their determination has received considerable attention to ensure public safety. Currently, scientists are paying more and more attention to the automation of analytical methods, since it permits fast, accurate, and sensitive analysis with minimal exposure of analysts to hazardous substances.

A highly sensitive immunoadsorption assay without traditional horseradish peroxidase for signal amplification was developed, utilizing a three-way DNA junction amplifier instead. The formation of a three-way DNA junction and release of trigger DNA with recycling was accomplished by toehold-mediated strand displacement. The fluorescent dye -methyl mesoporphyrin IX, with highly structure-specific binding affinity towards G-quadruplexes, was employed for label-free and simple signal output.

The naked-eye detection of hazardous pollutants through simple and cost-effective techniques is of great interest to the scientific community and related stakeholders in analytical science. The present study emphases the development of a stimuli-responsive probe by encountering sophisticated techniques for the detection of environmental pollutants. Herein, highly swellable and fluorescent-WTR-CDs-loaded HB-Alg/Gel@WTR-CDs was fabricated through a simple extrusion dripping method.

Restricted cubic splines (RCS) allow analysts to model nonlinear relations between continuous covariates and the outcome in a regression model. When using RCS with the Cox proportional hazards model, there is no longer a single hazard ratio for the continuous variable. Instead, the hazard ratio depends on the values of the covariate for the two individuals being compared.
