Aboveground Biomass, Carbon Sequestration, and Yield of <i>Pyrus pyrifolia</i> under the Management of Organic Residues in the Subtropical Ecosystem of Southern Brazil

Organic residues management (ORM) alter plant traits and soil properties by changing nutrient and carbon cycling. It is unclear how ORM (mulching, compost, and their combination) applied for 18 months creates a mechanism to promote changes ...

Validation of OMI, GOME-2A and GOME-2B tropospheric NO₂, SO₂ and HCHO products using MAX-DOAS observations from 2011 to 2014 in Wuxi, China: investigation of the effects of priori profiles and aerosols on the satellite products

Tropospheric vertical column densities (VCDs) of NO2, SO2 and HCHO derived from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on AURA and the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment 2 aboard METOP-A (GOME-2A) and METOP-B (GOME-2B) are widely used to cha...

Investigating seasonal velocity variations of selected glaciers in high mountain asia

Glacier velocity is a sensitive indicator of mass balance and is key to understanding how glaciers respond to climate change. Monitoring glacier velocity at high temporal resolutions enables a better understanding of the drivers of glacier ...

Preclinical Characterization of Mobocertinib Highlights the Putative Therapeutic Window of This Novel EGFR Inhibitor to EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations

Introduction: EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations account for 10% of all EGFR mutations and are mostly insensitive to approved EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR TKIs). Novel EGFR TKIs have been developed or repurposed for these mutants. A ...

Therapeutic potential of hyaluronic acid hydrogel combined with bone marrow stem cells-conditioned medium on arthritic rats’ TMJs

Abstract Conditioned media (CM) is derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) culture and contains biologically active components. CM is easy to handle and reduces inflammation while repairing injured joints. Combination therapy of the CM wi...

Dribbling emotions and anxiety in women’s football: a scoping review

Background and Study Aim. Fear of failure, choking under pressure, financial disparities in income, and concerns related to body image and social pressure may intensify on-field challenges. These factors make the competitive environment par...

On-the-Fly Sleep Scoring Algorithm with Heart Rate, RR Intervals and Accelerometer as Input

In many applications, recognizing the depth of sleep (e.g., light, deep, REM sleep) while the subject is sleeping enables innovative features. For instance, in SAE Level 4 autonomous driving, a driver may need to takeover the vehicle contro...

AI for identifying social norm violation

Abstract Identifying social norms and their violation is a challenge facing several projects in computational science. This paper presents a novel approach to identifying social norm violations. We used GPT-3, zero-shot classification, and ...

Association of inflammation and cognition in the elderly: A systematic review and meta-analysis

BackgroundThe development of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may be associated with an inflammatory process. Inflammatory cytokines may be a surrogate for systemic inflammation leading to worsening neurological ...

The individual‐level effects of social media campaigns related to healthy eating, physical activity, and healthy weight: A narrative review

Abstract Objective Social media are promising channels for health communication promoting positive weight‐related behaviors, but no prior studies have synthesized evidence on the independent effects of social media campaigns focused on prom...

Physicochemical characterization and source apportionment of Arctic ice-nucleating particles observed in Ny-Ålesund in autumn 2019

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) initiate primary ice formation in Arctic mixed-phase clouds (MPCs), altering cloud radiative properties and modulating precipitation. For atmospheric INPs, the complexity of their spatiotemporal variations, h...

A STRAIGHTFORWARD SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL 1,3,5-TRIAZINE-BASED MACROCYCLIC SCAFFOLDS

The synthesis and structural investigation of a series of three macrocycles bearing 2,4,6-tris(p-phenylene)-1,3,5-triazine central units and oligoethyleneoxide bridges are reported. The approach implied the synthesis of non-symmetrical 1,3,...

Sophorolipids Production from Oil Cake by Solid-State Fermentation. Inventory for Economic and Environmental Assessment

Biosurfactants are being proposed as a substitute for surfactants in the framework of a circular economy strategy. Sophorolipids (SL) are a type of biosurfactant produced by yeast that can be produced through submerged or solid-state fermen...

Color Space Transformation-Based Algorithm for Evaluation of Thermochromic Behavior of Cholesteric Liquid Crystals Using Polarized Light Microscopy

Preparation of Solid Superacid SO42-/ZnO-TiO2 and Its Action on Synthesis of Dimethyl Carbonate from Urea and Methanol

SO42-/ZnO-TiO2 catalyst was prepared by sulfating ZnO-TiO2 powders with H2SO4 solution. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, IR and Hammett indicator. The catalyst showed strong acidity(H0 ≦-16.0). The optimum conditions are found that th...
