Again, this is reasonable given the high PGA values in the whole area and the stochastic character of the early remobilizations. In 2013 and 2015 some pattern emerges, with persistent landslide activity closer to the drainage network. This seems consistent with a mechanism of sediment transfer ...
The distribution of surface area as a function of pore size in the pores of hardwood, pretreated by mild acid hydrolysis, was estimated from the pore volume distribution, as a function of the extent of enzymatic hydrolysis. Pore volume distributions were obtained using the solute exclusion techniqu...
16. Other room-temperature nonequilibrium processes, such as high-energy ball milling, have been reported to form α-Al2O3(Fig.1b, middle)13that shows hydrothermal stability29. Nevertheless, the Al2O3can aggregate, which leads to loss of surface area during the extended time and high-energy...

The barrier recovery of both mouse (Figure 1) and human skin (Figure 2) was accelerated at temperatures between 36 and 40°C compared with the area at 34°C, whereas at 34 or 42°C, it was delayed compared with the un-occluded area (Figures 1 and 2). As the skin surface temperature...
In China, an area of ∼1.64 × 106 km2, extending from arid central Asia (ACA) in the west to northeastern China, is occupied by sandy desert, dune fields, Gobi, and wind-eroded land (Wang, 2014, Fig. 1A). These regions are continuously subject to intense aeolian activity due to ...
The location and persistence of surface water (inland and coastal) is both affected by climate and human activity1 and affects climate2,3, biological diversity4 and human wellbeing5,6. Global data sets documenting surface water location and seasonality have been produced from inventories and nationa...
On-surface synthesis20,21has introduced alternative routes towards the formation of conjugated nanostructures22,23,24and functional organic molecules25,26,27,28. The confinement and catalytic activity on surfaces promote the transformation of reactive groups, enabling the formation of distinct organic compo...
The near-surface part of the crust, also called the skin of the earth, is the arena of human activity of which the stiffness is of great concern to engineers in infrastructure construction. The stiffness reduction of near-surface geomaterials also plays a vital role in geohazards triggering. Ho...
First, the correlation between the strain rate, \(\dot{\epsilon }\), and tremor is lower (R = 0.45), even if the peaks and troughs in the longitudinal extension that cause microseismic activity occur close to the peaks and troughs in ice speed (Fig. 3a). Second, the crevasse ...
