Studying deep-seated catastrophic landslides is challenging due to their complex geological conditions, slow and imperceptible movements, limited real-time monitoring, and difficulties in accurately assessing sliding behavior. We examine slope instability in a deep-seated landslide-prone area located in Lantai, Taiwan, by analyzing the temporal evolutions of slope movement and rainfall. Using a non-invasive automatic monitorin...

This study aimed to comprehend the effects of Typhoon Maria on the pelagic ecosystem in the southern East China Sea. Shipboard measurements were conducted at eight sampling stations before (2–4 d) and after (3–6 d) the typhoon, which enabled the evaluation of the potential impacts of the typhoon on this pelagic ecosystem, with particular focus on carbon dynamics. Following the typhoon's passage, there was a slight drop in sea...

Objective This study investigates the associations of α1-antitrypsin, inter-α-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain (ITIH4), and 8-isoprostane with lung function in shipyard workers exposed to occupational metal fume fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ), which is known to be associated with adverse respiratory outcomes. Methods A 3-year follow-up study was conducted on 180 shipyard workers with 262 measurements. Personal exposure to weld...
