COCKPIT-PLUS: A PROPOSED METHOD FOR RAPID GROUNDWATER VULNERABILITY-DRIVEN LAND USE ZONING IN TROPICAL COCKPIT KARST AREAS

COCKPIT-PLUS: A proposed method for rapid groundwater vulnerability-driven land use zoning in tropical cockpit karst areas

Karst groundwater is highly vulnerable to contamination, which urges better land use zoning.This paper proposes a new approach, called COCKPIT-PLUS, to minimize groundwater contamination within cockpit karst regions.The method employed four parameters: P (the existence of ponor/swallow hole), L (lineament density), U (sinking stream to an undergrou

Open Partial Horizontal Laryngectomy as a Conservative Salvage Treatment for Laser-Recurrent Laryngeal Cancer: A Multi-Institutional Series

Early-stage laryngeal cancer (T1-T2) is commonly treated with organ-preserving techniques such as transoral laser microsurgery (TOLMS) or radiation therapy (RT), both providing comparable oncological outcomes but differing in functional results.Local recurrence occurs in approximately 10% of cases, making salvage surgery a crucial therapeutic optio
