Structural Properties of Syngenetic Ice-Rich Permafrost, as Revealed by Archaeological Investigation of the Yana Site Complex (Arctic East Siberia, Russia): Implications for Quaternary Science

Ice-rich syncryogenic (termed “Ice Complex”) deposits are common in northern East Siberia and constitute the most important feature of the Quaternary geology of the region. The Ice Complex formed throughout the Late Pleistocene and not only...

Metallogenic potential and prospecting of orogenic gold deposits in the Shuihouling area of the Dabie Orogenic Belt: A geochemical evidence from stream sediment anomalies

The Shuihouling ductile shear zone, located in the core of the Dabie Orogenic Belt spanning Anhui and Hubei provinces, is a key structural unit with notable mineral potential. Situated within the Wudang-Tongbai-Dabie Mo-REE-Au-Ag-Pb-Zn poly...

Sources of Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Groundwater of Barcelona Urban Area

Groundwater is a vital resource for the development of urban areas, where the problem focuses on the quantity and on the quality of this freshwater resource. Barcelona is a good example as because currently groundwater is used for irrigatio...

Compilation of Apatite Fission-Track Data from the Northeast Atlantic Realm: A Jigsaw Puzzle with Missing Pieces

The northeast (NE) Atlantic is one of the best-studied geological regions in the world, incorporating a wide array of geological phenomena including extensional tectonism, passive margin development, orogenesis, and breakup-related volcanis...

Dagh-Dali Zn-Pb deposit is located 40 km north of Takab city and it consist of Bekhair-Bolaghi and Baldirghani ore zones. Mineralization in Bekhair-Bolaghi is consist of galena, sphalerite, pyrite and chalcopyrite with disseminated texture ...

Morphological Changes of the Lower Ping and Chao Phraya Rivers, North and Central Thailand: Flood and Coastal Equilibrium Analyses

The Chao Phraya River flows in the largest river basin of Thailand and represents one of the important agricultural and industrial areas in Southeast Asia. The Ping River is one major upstream branch flowing down slope southwardly, joining ...

Nature of Paleozoic Basement of the Catalan Coastal Ranges (Spain) and Tectonic Setting of the Priorat DOQ Wine Terroir: Evidence from Volcanic and Sedimentary Rocks

The Paleozoic volcano-sedimentary rocks within the structural basement of the horst-and-graben system of the Catalan Coastal Ranges (CCR) are composed of black shale, volcaniclastic sediments, lava flows, sills and lithocrystalloclastic tuf...

POSTSOCIALIST TRANSFORMATION OF CITIES IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA - A CASE STUDY OF NOVI SAD AND PETROVARADIN

Novi Sad and Petrovaradin, as two inseparable entities, have undergone large urban changes in the latest decades. Huge transformations in morphological features and spatial structure of Novi Sad occurred in the period from the breakup of Y...

Mechanical properties and constitutive analyses of basalt fiber crumb rubber mortars in soft rock roadways

Uniaxial compressive stress-strain curves of several groups of basalt fiber crumb rubber mortars (BF-CRM) with different contents are tested. By comparing with the GZH model, the improved values of the parameters of the BF-CRM constitutive ...

Abstract The founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) established and consolidated a new type of socialist ethnic relations, and the people of all ethnic groups in China have embarked on a socialist road since then. This “had never ...

Using a Cellular Automata-Markov Model to Reconstruct Spatial Land-Use Patterns in Zhenlai County, Northeast China

Decadal to centennial land use and land cover change has been consistently singled out as a key element and an important driver of global environmental change, playing an essential role in balancing energy use. Understanding long-term human...

Red Blood Cells as Potential Repositories of MicroRNAs in the Circulatory System

The amount of erythrocyte-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) represents the majority of miRNAs expressed in whole blood. miR-451, miR-144, and miR-486, which are abundant in red blood cells (RBCs), are involved in the process of erythropoiesis and ...

Induced Local and Systemic Defense Responses in Tomato Underlying Interactions Between the Root-Knot Nematode Meloidogyne incognita and the Potato Aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae

Plants mediate interactions between different herbivores that attack simultaneously or sequentially aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) organs. The local and systemic activation of hormonal signaling pathways and the concomitant accumulat...

High-quality read-based phasing of cystic fibrosis cohort informs genetic understanding of disease modification

Summary: Phasing of heterozygous alleles is critical for interpretation of cis-effects of disease-relevant variation. We sequenced 477 individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) using linked-read sequencing, which display an average phase block ...
