Long-term avalanche hazard assessment with a Bayesian depth-averaged propagation model

Long-term volcanic hazard assessment on El Hierro (Canary Islands)

Long-term hazard assessment, one of the bastions of risk-mitigation programs, is required for land-use planning and for developing emergency plans. To ensure quality and representative results, long-term volcanic hazard assessment requires several sequential steps to be completed, which include the compilation of geological and volcanological information, the characterisation of past eruptions,...

Bayesian semiparametric analysis of short- and long-term hazard ratios with covariates

A depth-averaged electrokinetic flow model for shallow microchannels

Electrokinetic flows with heterogeneous conductivity configuration occur widely in microfluidic applications such as sample stacking and multidimensional assays. Electromechanical coupling in these flows may lead to complex flow phenomena, such as sample dispersion due to electro-osmotic velocity mismatch, and electrokinetic instability (EKI). In this work we develop a generalized electrokineti...

propagation of human germ stem cells in long-term culture

background: spermatogonial stem cells (sscs), a subset of undifferentiated type a spermatogonia, are the foundation of complex process of spermatogenesis and could be propagated in vitro culture conditions for long time for germ cell transplantation and fertility preservation. objective: the aim of this study was in vitro propagation of human spermatogonial stem cells (sscs) and improvement of ...

Estimating the Long-Term Phosphorus Accretion Rate in the Everglades: A Bayesian Approach with Risk Assessment

Using wetlands as sink of nutrients, phosphorus in particular, is becoming an increasingly attractive alternative to conventional wastewater treatment technology. In this paper, we brie y review the mechanism of phosphorus retention in wetlands, as well as previous modeling e orts. A Bayesian method is then proposed for estimating the long-term phosphorus accretion rate in wetlands through a pi...
