This study examines the long-term mobility decisions of homeowners in Lumberton, North Carolina, USA, who received federal assistance from the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) for property acquisition, elevation, or reconstruction following Hurricane Matthew in 2016. The authors situate homeowners...
The samples were digested in an UltraCLAVE single reaction chamber microwave oven (Milestone, Italy) according to a 60 min stepwise heating program, with a hold time for maximum temperature (250 °C) at 15 min. The samples were allowed to cool down to RT in their vessels after digestion, ...
For the next-generation risk assessment (NGRA) of chemicals and nanomaterials, new approach methodologies (NAMs) are needed for hazard assessment in compliance with the 3R’s to reduce, replace and refine animal experiments. This study aimed to establish and characterize an advanced respiratory model...
103 working face. There was a sufficient thick overburden strata between the maximal elevation of the fractured zone and the roof goaf water, and mining through F6 reverse fault under old goaf was safe and reliable. The research results can provide reference for the safe mining of passing ...

Introduction Rapid climate change has a high-order impact on natural and engineered slope stability, resulting in serious mountainous hazards. However, the nature, location, magnitude, direction, ...
The tsunami is one of the deadliest natural disasters, responsible for more than 260,000 deaths and billions in economic losses over the last two decades. The footage of the devastating power of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami perhaps remains vivid in the
