This study investigates the influence of root cohesion spatial heterogeneity on rainfall-induced landslide distribution across the Loess Plateau, addressing limitations in existing methods that oversimplify root reinforcement. Leveraging Landsat and GaoFen satellite images, we developed a regional root cohesion inversion model that quantifies spatial heterogeneity using tree height (derived from time series Landsat imagery) and above-ground biomass (from 30 m resolution satellite products). This approach, integrated with land use-specific hydrological parameters and an infinite slope stability model, significantly improves landslide susceptibility predictions compared to models ignoring root cohesion or using uniform assignments. High-resolution pre- and post-rainfall GaoFen satellite imagery validated landslide inventories, revealing dynamic susceptibility patterns: farmland exhibited the highest risk, followed by artificial and secondary forests, with susceptibility escalating post-rainfall. This study underscores the critical role of remote sensing-driven root cohesion mapping in landslide risk assessment, offering actionable insights for land use planning and disaster mitigation on the Loess Plateau.

Burdock ( L.) is a medicinal and edible homologous plant whose roots contain many bioactive substances such as polysaccharides and phenolics. This study explored the integration of burdock powder and lactic acid bacteria fermentation to enhance the nutritional quality, sensory attributes, and flavor profiles of duck sausages.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are a class of drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion and are commonly overused in clinical practice. We developed a quality control circle (QCC) assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) and led by clinical pharmacists to improve rational PPI use among patients in our hospital. A QCC team was established to follow QCC procedures.

Soil erodibility is a vital parameter utilized for soil erosion prediction, yet its variability remains poorly understood due to complex interactions between soil properties and land use types. To address this gap, six typical land uses of slope farmland (SF), broad-leaved forest land (BF), coniferous forest land (CF), orchard (O), shrubland (S), and grassland (G) were selected across two dominant soil types (yellow and purple) in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area. Seven soil erodibility indicators and a comprehensive soil erodibility index (CSEI) were quantified and the differential influencing mechanism of soil erodibility among different soil and land use types were identified.

Background: Behavioral and sociocultural factors are often examined in population-based studies as independent variables, yet latent factors often influence multiple behaviors all at once. This may be especially true in immigrant populations living in or near ethnic enclaves. Better characterization of internal or external factors underlying multiple behaviors is critical to modify the root causes of health-related behaviors.
