Quantitative monitoring of gravity erosion using a novel 3D surface measuring technique: validation and case study
Gravity erosion is one of the most remarkable natural hazards in mountainous regions, especially on the Loess Plateau of China. Nevertheless, the measurement of failure mass is very difficult because gravity e...

Ab initio analysis on the interaction of CO2 binding to peracetated D-glucopyranose
CO2-philes can be utilized as additives, surfactants, and a potential phase-change physical solvent or absorbent for CO2, so the design and synthesis of CO2-philes typically non-fluorous compounds is important to...

Data Collection and Processing for Measurement of Time-Variable Gravity Erosion in the Laboratory Study
Researchers face great difficulties that few measurable data of gravity erosion on the Loess Plateau are found due to a lack in observation techniques. A problem common to all of the existing methods is that t...

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor rescues develo** avian motoneurons from cell death
DURING normal vertebrate development, about half of spinal motoneurons are lost by a process of naturally occurring or programmed cell death1,2. Additional develo** motoneurons degenerate after the removal of t...
