Article Abstract
This study assessed root reinforcement on slopes influenced by various herbaceous species. The study examined the distribution, structural traits of these species, and their root systems, as well as their biomass. We established a quantitative model for evaluating root reinforcement at the soil interface influenced by different herbaceous colonizers. The focus was on a mining environment, specifically measuring root reinforcement at a dumpsite slope. The results showed that the herbaceous plants in the dumpsite included Candian fleabane (), Annual bluegrass (), and Suaeda (), and the weights of the three herbaceous plants in descending order were Annual bluegrass, Candian fleabane, and Suaeda. Notably, the tensile strength of annual bluegrass roots peaked when diameters were less than 0.4 mm. Statistical analysis revealed significant variations in root tensile strength (p < 0.05, ANCOVA), root area ratio, and reinforcement (average values from 0 to 10 cm, p < 0.05, ANOVA) among the species. Canadian fleabane demonstrated the greatest root area ratio and reinforcement throughout the soil profiles. The integration of these herbaceous species increased the surface layer's stability of the slope by 21.6 % and marginally expanded the cross-sectional area of the landslide mass.

Background: High-quality operative notes are crucial for patient safety, continuity of care, and medico-legal protection. Despite established Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) guidelines, audits globally reveal persistent deficiencies in surgical documentation. This study assessed the quality of operative notes in the Orthopedic Surgery Department at Gezira Traumatology Center, Wad Madani Teaching Hospital, Sudan, and evaluated the impact of targeted interventions.

Background: Influenza remains a significant public health challenge worldwide, necessitating robust forecasting models to facilitate timely interventions and resource allocation. The aim of this study was to develop a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based short-term forecasting model to accurately predict weekly influenza case counts in Tokyo, Japan.
Method: By using weekly time-series data on influenza incidence in Tokyo from 2000 to 2019, along with meteorological variables, we developed four distinct models to evaluate the impact of the external variables of mean temperature, relative humidity, and national public holidays.

In engineering structure performance monitoring, capturing real-time on-site data and conducting precise analysis are critical for assessing structural condition and safety. However, equipment instability and complex on-site environments often lead to data anomalies and gaps, hindering accurate performance evaluation. This study, conducted within a wind farm reinforcement project in Shandong Province, addresses these challenges by focusing on anomaly detection and data imputation for weld nail strain, anchor cable axial force, and concrete strain.

Objective: This systematic review evaluated the most effective strategy for the topical application of fluoride in arresting active root caries lesions in adults and elderly patients.
Methods: Databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving adults or elderly patients who presented carious lesions on the root surface of permanent teeth and were exposed to any strategy for the topical application of fluoride. The outcome considered was the arrest of root carious lesions.
