The Stabilization Mechanism of a Stable Landslide Dam on the Eastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau, China: Insights from Field Investigation and Numerical Simulation by Liang Song, Yanjun Shang, Yunsheng Wang, Tong Li, Zhuolin Xiao, Yuchao Zhao, Tao Tang, Shicheng Liu

“…Additionally, the step-pool system formed in the spillway of the Conaxue Co landslide dam contributes to the protection of the dam structure by dissipating 68% of the river’s energy (energy dissipation rate η = 0.68). Understanding the formation mechanisms of the Conaxue Co landslide dam can provide critical insights into managing future landslide dams that may form in the QTP, both in emergency response and long-term strategies.…”

Fine-scale variability in iceberg velocity fields and implications for an ice-associated pinniped by L. M. Kaluzienski, J. M. Amundson, J. N. Womble, A. K. Bliss, L. E. Pearson

“…To better understand how pinnipeds respond to changes in iceberg habitat, we combine (i) iceberg velocity fields over hourly to monthly timescales, derived from high-rate time-lapse photogrammetry of Johns Hopkins Glacier and Inlet, Alaska, with (ii) aerial photographic surveys of harbor seals (<i>Phoca vitulina richardii</i>) conducted during the pupping (June) and molting (August) seasons. …”

Kinetics of silicon extraction into alloy from a mixture of amorphous rocks by V.M. Shevko, N.M. Mirkayev, A.D. Badikova

“…It was established that when the melting the amorphous rocks, with an increase in the degree of silicon extraction into the alloy, the apparent activation energy decreases, that is a manifestation of diffusion processes, obviously associated with the formation of a silicon carbide layer on the coke surface. The rate of silicon extraction into the alloy when the melting the amorphous rocks is higher than when the melting quartzite. …”

Breaking barriers: targeted delivery of resveratrol in lung cancer using folate-integrated and pH-responsive hybrid nanocarriers by Sanjoy Das, Malay K. Das, Taison Jamatia, Nayan Ranjan Ghose Bishwas, Dhritiman Roy, Emdormi Rymbai

“…Finally, in vivo targeting and anticancer studies demonstrated that FOL-RSV-LPHNCs selectively internalized to the cancerous region and suppressed the tumor volume with an 8.66-fold higher rate in the xenograft mouse model. The folate receptor-mediated uptake mainly facilitates this superior therapeutic response which was further confirmed by in silico molecular docking and dynamic simulation. …”
