NATURAL ICE MOUNDS OF THE MIDDLE AND SOUTHERN SAKHALIN MUDFLOW BASINS by Svetlana V. Rybalchenko, Konstantin V. Verkhovov

“…Small natural frosts are widespread on the territory of Middle and Southern Sakhalin within the slope and small valley debris flow basins, along with dangerous slope exogenous processes (debris flows, landslides, erosion, etc.), often having a paragenetic nature of the current. …”

Evaluation of Relations between Extreme Precipitation and Temperature in Observational Time Series from the Czech Republic by Marta Martinkova, Martin Hanel

“…The intensity of precipitation extremes is expected to increase as the climate warms and it may cause floods and increase erosion. From the Clausius-Clapeyron relation (CC) it follows that the maximum moisture content of the atmosphere increases by approximately 7% per degree as temperature rises. …”

(De)Globalization, the Global Imaginary, and Religious Narratives: A Theoretical Framework and the East Asia Litmus Test by Beilei Bai

“…I start my analysis by approaching “globalization” as a shared vision of the world, referred to, in this article, as the “global imaginary”. The recent erosion of the latter has led to “deglobalization”, a set of narratives that remain correlated to the globalist storyline they confront. …”

Novel design of drug delivery in stented arteries:A numerical comparative study by Mario Grassi, Giuseppe Pontrelli, Luciano Teresi, Gabriele Grassi, Lorenzo Comel, Alessio Ferluga, Luigi Galasso

“…Implantation of drug eluting stents following percutaneoustransluminal angioplasty has revealed a well establishedtechnique for treating occlusions caused bythe atherosclerotic plaque.However, due to the risk of vascular re-occlusion,other alternative therapeutic strategiesof drug delivery are currently being investigated.Polymeric endoluminal pave stenting is an emerging technologyfor preventing blood erosion and for optimizing drug release.The classical and novel methodologies are compared througha mathematical model able to predict the evolution ofthe drug concentration in a cross-section of the wall.Though limited to an idealized configuration, the presentmodel is shown to catch most of the relevant aspects ofthe drug dynamics in a delivery system.Results of numerical simulations shows that a bi-layer gel paved stenting guarantees a uniform drug elution anda prolonged perfusionof the tissues, and remains a promising and effective techniquein drug delivery.…”

Identification of Soil and Water Conservation Technologies Used on Different Landscape Positions in Maziba Sub-catchment by Ndemere, Julius, Mary makokha, Tenywa Moses

“…Despite the technologies that have been introduced in Maziba sub-catchment, farmers have variations in technology acceptance due to over cultivation of land, population pressure, and deforestation that accelerate soil erosion. The objective of the study was to characterize soil and water conservation technologies used at different landscape positions by farmers in Maziba sub-catchment. …”

IMAGING ANALYSIS OF PERIODONTAL STATUS IN A GROUP OF PATIENTS WITH OSTEOPOROSIS by Stoica George, Roxana Popescu, Andreea Diana Ilinca, Daniela Pomohaci, Balcos Carina, Alexandru Nemtoi, Sirghe Ana, Haba Danisia

“…Radiographic evaluation demonstrated that 58.7% of patients with osteoporosis had a slightly eroded mandibular cortex (C2), while 34.9% showed severe erosion (C3). The average cortical thickness (MCW) was significantly reduced in osteoporotic patients compared to non-osteoporotic individuals, highlighting its potential as a screening indicator. …”
