AbstractThis study proposes a novel approach to improve the classification of severe building losses caused by river floods (i.e., identification of buildings with high flood damages). In addition to traditional variables reflecting flood hazard and building vulnerability, we investigate the impact of coping capacity variables (i.e., variables accounting for the preparedness and disaster response of the population and management authorities).

Scientists have successfully manipulated quantum systems with extreme ultraviolet light pulses, achieving precise control of atomic structures and quantum states. This method, demonstrated at Italy’s Elettra Synchrotron, could revolutionize chemical processes and pharmaceutical manufacturing by allowing light to direct chemical reactions.

AbstractThis article provides methodological insights to evaluate the socio-economic risk of an emerging froth flotation technology for the mining sector with the goal of guiding the design and development process. This technology is used to separate valuable particles based on surface properties among minerals and, if properly developed, could be used to valorize fine particles that currently existing technology cannot separate and thus become waste material.

In this Section, we present the results of our empirical exercise. Since multiple approaches are possible to calculate composite indicators at both the first and second levels, we adopt a data-driven approach. Thus, as previously mentioned, we use as a benchmark the indicator (Agenas) computed as a simple weighted average of the selected clinical indicators using the weights assigned by AGENAS in the 2015 TREEMAP exercise.

In this paper, we propose an ensemble of protocol, sensors, data analysis and methodology to represent results for a better understanding and representation of the musculoskeletal status in the specific case of bedridden patients. In the following paragraph, we will discuss the main results achieved and the different aspects related with this topic.

We downloaded ChIP-Seq experiment data concerning human TFBS from both ENCODE and Cistrome (with permission). In the case of ENCODE, we limited ourselves to datasets processed using conservative IDR thresholding [1, 21]. Data format is BED narrowPeak. All datasets are aligned using the Genome Reference Consortium human build 38 (GRCh38). Data was downloaded from the relevant websites in March 2020.

AbstractScientific interest in asteroids and their physical characteristics is growing. These bodies provide insights into the primordial solar system and represent a valuable source of metals, silicates, and water. Several missions over the past few years have aimed to improve and better identify the main properties of these poorly known celestial bodies.
