This paper investigates the setting, causes, and main dynamic characteristics of the landslide that occurred at Xinmo village, Diexi, Sichuan province, China, on June 24, 2017. By comparing the pre- and post-sliding DEMs, the landslide involved the failure of ≈ 3.0 × 106 m3 rock mass from its source area, and had a final volume of ≈ 6.3 × 106 m3. T...

The primary objective of this study was to delineate the impact of vegetation on dune erosion under the influence of storm waves. This was achieved through laboratory flume experiments. Specifically, physical model experiments were used to identify the features responsible for coastal dune erosion generated by storm waves under the protection and n...

China has been exposed to high fluoride levels for a long time, with > 200 million people being currently threatened by fluorosis. To obtain data essential for controlling fluorosis, this paper analyzes the recent fluoride exposure data for dental and skeletal fluorosis and predicts the prevalence in various parts of China. After surveying environm...

Dams, which indeed have many benefits, are hydraulic structures that retain sediments in the rivers on which they are built. This property of dams can cause hydrological and geomorphological alterations in parts of the river beneath these structures. Among the three largest coastal valleys of the Anatolian Peninsula, Kızılırmak Delta suffers from g...

Determination of trace metals in olive oil is an essential aspect for the assessment of good quality of dietary oil. It is so, because heavy metals are known to have a negative effect on the oxidative rate of the oils and be toxic to its consumers. This study is the first to be carried out in northern Cyprus aimed at determining the content of copp...
