Summary: Based on the collation and collection of a large number of data, we have constructed an induced earthquake database called QuakeQuake, which reports a total of 193 human-induced earthquake cases in China. By compiling Chinese literature, we revisit and re-arrange 155 human-induced earthquakes in China recorded in the global-induced earthquake database (HiQuake). The human-induced earthquakes in QuakeQuake database are classified into three levels of reliability, strong, moderate, and weak levels, based on both human-induced processes and seismic activity.

Summary: In order to improve our understanding of induced seismicity and manage associated risks, it is necessary to examine seismic data from reported cases. However, gathering and collating these data is challenging and time-consuming. We have developed a publicly available database that contains 158 datasets of induced seismicity caused by various subsurface energy-related applications worldwide, aiming to advance research in seismic hazard forecasting and mitigation.

Summary: This study develops mixed continuous-discrete Bayesian Network (BN) models to improve the predictive accuracy of earthquake-induced liquefaction, demonstrating better performance than traditional discrete BN models and various other methods on a 2010-2011 earthquake sequence in Canterbury, New Zealand. The study discusses the differences in information loss and computational costs between discrete and hybrid BN models.

Summary: The Human Microbial Metabolome Database (MiMeDB) is a comprehensive multi-omic microbiome resource that connects microorganisms, microbial genomes, microbial metabolites, the human exposome, and human health. It contains detailed taxonomic and microbiological data on human microbes, linked to genomic and proteomic sequence data. The database also includes information about metabolites, reactions, enzymes, and exposure sources, as well as health effects and protein targets. MiMeDB aims to enable comprehensive multi-omic integration and is designed to be easy to search, browse, and navigate.

Summary: The NIH's IDG program aims to study poorly characterized proteins that can be modulated using small molecules or biologics. The program has produced the Target Central Resource Database (TCRD) and Pharos, which aggregate data from multiple sources and rank targets based on data availability, in machine learning ready format. Integrated data include protein interactions, disease associations, and gene signatures, among others, enabling new visualizations and sections to empower users in exploring the druggable genome.

Summary: This study focuses on the impact of environmental factors on microbial community composition, highlighting the roles of host factors in shaping human microbiota. Host factors are categorized into host genetic factors (HGFs) and host immune factors (HIFs), with a database called 'GIMICA' established to collect and organize these factors for comprehensive health management. By providing information on how these factors define the landscapes inhabited by microbiota, the database allows for a holistic consideration of different types of host factors as well as the interactions between host and environmental factors.

Summary: This paper introduces CEQID, a database that includes earthquake damage data for over five million individual buildings following 79 severely damaging earthquakes worldwide. It also develops a set of fragility curves for different building classes to estimate the probability of exceedance of each damage level. Additionally, the study presents a resistance index for each class of buildings for cross-regional comparisons.

Summary: Detailed and accurate historical earthquake disaster data are crucial for understanding the characteristics of earthquake disaster losses and for conducting research on prevention strategies and post-earthquake emergency rescue work. The Mainland China Composite Earthquake causing Casualties Database (MCCEC-DAT) was developed in this study, containing 252 historical earthquake records and various attributes including earthquake time, location, loss information, and socioeconomic data. The database also provides a quantitative assessment of lethality levels for direct comparison of different regions.

Summary: Mining-induced seismic events can lead to aftershocks, and studies have shown that events producing large aftershock sequences may share similar focal mechanisms and have larger ground effects, but there may be potential differences in stress drops. This highlights the importance of further analyzing the focal mechanisms of strong events and their relationship to the exploitation technique.

Summary: The decarbonization of energy systems to achieve net zero carbon emissions is likely to drive rapid development of carbon capture and storage, subsurface energy storage, and geothermal energy projects. Subsurface data, especially seismic reflection surveys and borehole data, are crucial for geoscientists and engineers to assess opportunities and risks. However, the potential bias in legacy data distribution should be taken into account when utilizing these data for decision-making.

Summary: Questionnaire schemes are commonly used for investigating induced earthquakes. However, these schemes are subjective and cannot provide scientifically rigorous answers. Work is ongoing to optimize a standard questionnaire. Different analysts may produce different results, but higher correlations were found between schemes than between analysts. A simple Likert scale correlated well with results from a complex scheme.

Summary: Final sewage effluent (FSE) is often warmer than rivers and can be used to recover heat energy to help meet climate change targets. Analysis of data from England for 2000-2019 shows significant temperature differences between FSE and rivers, with potential for heat recovery. Additionally, untreated sewage temperatures are higher than FSE temperatures, indicating lost heat energy during treatment.
