AN INTEGRAL ASSESSMENT OF LANDSLIDE DAMS GENERATED BY THE OCCURRENCE OF RAINFALL-INDUCED LANDSLIDE AND DEBRIS FLOW HAZARD CHAIN

An integral assessment of landslide dams generated by the occurrence of rainfall-induced landslide and debris flow hazard chain

Landslides caused by rainfall are one of the most frequent causes of disasters in tropical countries and mountainous terrain here and can block rivers generating landslide dams.This paper presents a methodology for the estimation of the obstruction of water streams generated by rainfall-induced shallow landslides.The spatial distribution of the lan

TCR-L: an analysis tool for evaluating the association between the T-cell receptor repertoire and clinical phenotypes

Abstract Background T cell receptors (TCRs) play critical roles in adaptive immune responses, and recent advances in genome technology have made it possible to examine the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire at the individual sequence level.The analysis of the TCR repertoire with respect to clinical phenotypes can yield novel insights into the etiolog
