Disruptions in manufacturing operations after Hurricanes Helene and Milton have significantly affected the supply of life-saving IV fluids, leaving some health systems in dire need. While some medical centers have stockpiles in place, others may need to ration their IV fluid supply and delay surgeries. The American Thoracic Society is providing tips to help hospitals mitigate supply chain impacts.

One of the methods scientists use to study quantum many-body systems is the ab initio approach, but some ab initio methods run into severe computational problems when using realistic interactions. This study introduces wavefunction matching and uses it to perform lattice simulations with realistic interactions. This allows scientists to make calculations that were once impossible.

This study explores rockburst challenges in deep mining, examining factors causing rockbursts and assessing rockburst risks using bow-tie analysis. It presents various rockburst risk control and mitigation methods, including strategic engineering (mine design, mining sequencing), tactical measures (ground pre-conditioning, rock support), and administrative controls (evacuation protocols, mechanized equipment). The paper advocates a multiple-line defense system to manage uncertainties and highlights emerging technologies and future challenges, serving as a key resource for professionals in the mining industry.
