Le risque tsunamique au Maroc : modélisation et évaluation au moyen d'un premier jeu d'indicateurs d'exposition du littoral atlantique

This paper seeks to estimate the exposure of the Atlantic coast of Morocco to tsunami risk. A methodological approach and a first set of tsunami risk indicators are presented. The proposed approach is based upon a coupling of tsunami numeri...

Monoterpene composition of needle oil of Pinus oocarpa and Pinus caribaea.

The monoterpene composition of the needle oil of Schiede ex Schltdl. and Morelet growing in Zambia were studied by means of GC-MS. needle samples were taken from 29 trees representing different clones in a seed orchard and from 43 trees ...

Bone Diagenesis in Short Timescales: Insights from an Exploratory Proteomic Analysis

The evaluation of bone diagenetic phenomena in archaeological timescales has a long history; however, little is known about the origins of the microbes driving bone diagenesis, nor about the extent of bone diagenesis in short timeframes—suc...

Corrigendum: The Potential Roles of Very Low Calorie, Very Low Calorie Ketogenic Diets and Very Low Carbohydrate Diets on the Gut Microbiota Composition

Bacterial Succession in Microbial Biofilm as a Potential Indicator for Postmortem Submersion Interval Estimation

Bacteria acts as the main decomposer during the process of biodegradation by microbial communities in the ecosystem. Numerous studies have revealed the bacterial succession patterns during carcass decomposition in the terrestrial setting. T...

From plants to patterns: Constructing a comprehensive online strontium isoscape for Belgium (IsoBel) using high density grid mapping

Understanding the spatial distribution of strontium isotopes in plants or other archives within a region is crucial for various fields, including archaeology, environmental studies, food sciences and forensic science. This study aims to cre...

Some conceptual aspect of overcoming anti-detection and investigation of crimes

The paper considers the problem of the concept and signs of counteraction to the investigation of crimes. The positions of various legal scholars of the conceptual apparatus of counteraction have been analyzed in detail. The definition of c...

Analysis of the ex-vivo transformation of semen, saliva and urine as they dry out using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and chemometric approach

Abstract The ex-vivo biochemical changes of different body fluids also referred as aging of fluids are potential marker for the estimation of Time since deposition. Infrared spectroscopy has great potential to reveal the biochemical changes...

Impact of Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization on the Structural Properties of Egg Yolk Granule

Ultra-high pressure homogenization (UHPH) is a promising method for destabilizing and potentially improving the techno-functionality of the egg yolk granule. This study’s objectives were to determine the impact of pressure level (50, 175 an...

Biophysical and textural attributes as selection indices for replacing the adopted cassava variety with the improved genotype to produce fufu

The use of the biophysical and textural qualities of fufu to choose the possible substitution of an adopted cassava variety (TMEB419-V1) with improved genotypes from the breeding program was assessed in this study. Standard methods were use...

TRACK-CF prospective cohort study: Understanding early cystic fibrosis lung disease

BackgroundLung disease as major cause for morbidity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) starts early in life. Its large phenotypic heterogeneity is partially explained by the genotype but other contributing factors are not well delineated...

DNA polymorphisms in inflammatory and endocrine signals linked to frailty are also associated with obesity: data from the FRASNET cohort

BackgroundObesity and frailty are prevalent geriatric conditions that share some pathophysiological mechanisms and are associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The relationship between frailty, obesity, and polymorphism remains inadequate...

Microplastic as a vector of heavy metals and chemicals in aquatic ecosystems

Microplastics (MPs) have become a symbol of modern life and their fate in the environment is an issue of great concern. MPs have attracted attention for their widespread distribution, especially in the aquatic ecosystems. MPs can act as a v...

Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis Framework for Mapping Vegetation Physiognomic Types at Fine Scales in Neotropical Savannas

Regional maps of vegetation structure are necessary for delineating species habitats and for supporting conservation and ecological analyses. A systematic approach that can discriminate a wide range of meaningful and detailed vegetation cla...
