Landslide susceptibility assessment is a fundamental component of effective landslide prevention. One of the main challenges in landslides forecasting is the assessment of spatial distribution of landslide susceptibility. Despite the many different approaches, landslide susceptibility assessment still remains a challenge. A semi-quantitative method is proposed combining heuristic, deterministic...

We extend our methodology for three-dimensional parameter structure and value estimation and apply it to a Vermont test site. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) cross-well travel times are inverted for estimation of heterogeneous GPR soil velocities before and after a controlled release of salt water in the unsaturated zone. The method, which is based on an approximation of the extended Kalman filt...

The complex architecture of the liver is intertwined with its response to xenobiotic compounds. In particular, hepatocyte subpopulations are distributed along the sinusoid in zones 1 to 3, leading to prototypical "periportal" and "centrilobular" patterns of cell death in response to a toxic insult. In vitro models that more closely represent these zones of sub-specialization may therefore be va...
