Our findings clearly show the presence of oxidative stress in degenerating cartilage, and the resultant telomere erosion and dysfunction of chondrocytes in vitro and in vivo, suggesting a role for oxidative stress in the development of OA.
Osteoporotic bone loss or neoplastic invasion of the vertebral bodies results in erosion of the cancellous network and development of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs), which can contribute to debilitating pain, neurological deficit, gross spinal instability, and resultant deformity.
Cosmogenic-nuclide exposure dating, for example, is especially hampered by the lack of ice-sheet erosion and resultant cosmogenic nuclide inheritance.
This study investigates the effect of different rainfall patterns on erosion and resultant water quality in a small study catchment in the Northern Territory, Australia.
Location of farmlands in a very flood-prone terrain with the resultant accelerated intense soil erosion in the upper parts and poor soil fertility level has created significant vulnerability levels of households.
However, coupled with increasing population pressure and terrain characteristics of the area, there was reported massive land degradation manifested by soil erosion and resultant nutrient depletion, forest degradation and massive expansion of agricultural land use pattern with costs of other natural cover (Gete and Hurni 2001; Hurni et al. 2010; Woldeamlak and Solomon 2013).
The deposit-derived pyroclastic flows at Pinatubo that were generated up to 4 years after original deposit emplacement (Torres et al. 1996) are poignant examples where post-emplacement processes (mass wasting, fluvial erosion, and resultant pore pressure increases) affecting an ignimbrite have hazardous consequences.
The resultant flooding resulted in ten fatalities.
Properly designed modelling assumptions on effective soil loss are a key pre-requisite to improve our understanding of the magnitude of nutrients that are mobilized through soil erosion and the resultant effects.
These methods are applied to a test case of silica sand particles eroding an aluminium surface, and the resultant data is fitted to an erosion function.
