The soft- hard- interbedded rock slope in cold regions generally undergo the differential weathering due to the freeze-thaw effects, for which the irregular rock fractures increase the risk of geological disasters occurrence. To investigate the failure mechanism of the rock slope, both the numerical simulation and theoretical analysis were adopted in the present research. The structural integrity of the soft- hard- interbedded rock slope subjected to three different conditions (e.g., freeze-thaw cycles, natural, and anchored surroundings) was evaluated. The results indicated that the stability of the rock slope is significantly affected by the freeze-thaw cycles, the performance of which is much different from that under the natural- and anchored conditions. The failure process of the soft- hard- interbedded rock slope in cold regions exhibited the unloading-tensile cracking-sliding characteristics. The damage of the irregular structural surfaces subjected to the long-term weathering and freeze-thaw cycles is the one of the main factor controlling the failure mode. As revealed by numerical simulation, the application of the anchor rods can effectively prevent and control the collapse of the soft- hard- interbedded rock slope. The findings obtained from this research provide an important guidance for the stability assessment and mitigation design of the soft- hard- interbedded rock slopes in cold regions.

Disinfectant wipes are widely used to reduce microbial contamination on surfaces, yet there is limited information on how viruses are physically removed or chemically inactivated during wiping. This study aimed to address this gap by comparing the contributions of physical removal and chemical inactivation to overall disinfection efficacy. Glass and vinyl coupons were contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 surrogates, bovine coronavirus (BCoV), or human coronavirus OC43, at an initial titer of 5-6 log TCID/surface with 5% soil load.

Introduction: To address the challenges of current 4D trajectory prediction-specifically, limited multi-factor feature extraction and excessive computational cost-this study develops a lightweight prediction framework tailored for real-time air-traffic management.
Methods: We propose a hybrid RCBAM-TCN-LSTM architecture enhanced with a teacher-student knowledge distillation mechanism. The Residual Convolutional Block Attention Module (RCBAM) serves as the teacher network to extract high-dimensional spatial features via residual structures and channel-spatial attention.

Background/aim: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of orofacial-dental trauma (OT) among 582 child athletes (aged 6-16) in Damascus, Syria.
Material And Methods: Data were collected through structured interviews and a 13-item questionnaire administered between December 2023 and December 2024. The questionnaire included information about demographics, sports participation, injury history (including both soft and hard tissue injuries), mechanisms of injury, and use of protective gear.

Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) have garnered significant attention as high-capacity anode materials, yet the unconventional role of the Cu collector meditating atomic-level substitution of metal-site cations by Cu ions during electrochemical cycling remains mechanistically unclear. To address this, herein, Cu-doped MoSe@C ultrathin nanosheets were synthesized via the solvothermal process and carbonization strategies. A systematic investigation was conducted to elucidate the underlying driving forces for Cu substitution at Mo sites and the crucial regulatory effects of solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation.

Adhesives are important in creating multilayer products, such as in packaging and construction. Most current hot-melt adhesives such as poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) and polyurethanes lack chemical recyclability and do not easily de-bond, complicating recycling. Here, we achieved tunable adhesive properties of chemically recyclable polyolefin-like multiblock copolymers through regulating the incorporation of crystalline hard blocks, amorphous soft blocks, and ester content highlighted by adhesive strengths up to 6.
