Pre-, Co-, and Post-Failure Deformation Analysis of the Catastrophic Xinjing Open-Pit Coal Mine Landslide, China, from Optical and Radar Remote Sensing Observations by Fengnian Chang, Houyu Li, Shaochun Dong, Hongwei Yin

“…Furthermore, our experiments indicated that the commonly used Sentinel-1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) significantly underestimated landslide deformation due to the maximum detectable deformation gradient (MDDG) limitation. In contrast, the high-spatial-resolution Fucheng-1 provided more accurate monitoring results with a higher MDDG. …”

Improving clinical care of patients in Nipah outbreaks: moving beyond ‘compassionate use’ by Md Zakiul Hassan, Amanda Rojek, Piero Olliaro, Peter Horby

“…To improve NiVD care, we propose four key strategies: 1) Enhance early case detection, 2) optimize supportive care to improve outcomes and create a standard for future trials, 3) adopt a syndromic approach centered on encephalitis, and 4) explore innovative trial designs tailored to low case numbers as an alternative to ‘compassionate use’. …”

Orientation, dendrites and precipitates in Hastelloy C276 alloy fabricated by laser and arc hybrid additive manufacturing by Qingwen Deng, Yugang Miao, Zhibin Yang, Yuyang Zhao, Ji Liu, Huijun Li, Bintao Wu

“…Further heat treatment (LHAM-HT) results in reduced texture strength, equiaxed grains with annealing twins and no precipitates detected. The LHAM-HT specimens show lower hardness and yield strength (190.33 HV and 338 MPa) due to dislocation annihilation, but enhanced elongation and tensile strength (63.5% and 713 MPa) owing to fine grain size and absence of precipitates. …”
