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...

Herb-drug interactions of silybinin and cilofexor in beagle dogs based on pharmacokinetics by UPLC-MS/MS

Objective: A remarkably sensitive, accurate, and efficient ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) approach was developed as a facile and expeditious method for measuring cilofexor concentration in beag...

Anti-inflammatory activity of two varieties of pumpkin seed oil in an adjuvant arthritis model in rats

The aim of the present research was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of pumpkin seed oils (PSOs) of an Egyptian and European variety, in a rat model of adjuvant arthritis. Edema thickness, plasma tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) an...

Is SARS-CoV-2 a concern in the largest wastewater treatment plant in middle east?

The surveillance of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) as the end point of SARS-CoV-2 shed from infected people arise a speculation on transmission of this virus of concern from WWTP in epidemic period. To this end, the present study was dev...

Phosphorus runoff from Canadian agricultural land: A dataset for 30 experimental fields

Phosphorus (P) runoff from agricultural land plays a critical role in downstream water quality. This article summarizes P and sediment runoff data for both snowmelt and rainfall runoff from 30 arable fields in the Canadian provinces of Sask...

Soil Geochemical Properties Influencing the Diversity of Bacteria and Archaea in Soils of the Kitezh Lake Area, Antarctica

It is believed that polar regions are influenced by global warming more significantly, and because polar regions are less affected by human activities, they have certain reference values for future predictions. This study aimed to investiga...

RESEARCH OF PROPERTIES OF SEDIMENTS FORMED IN COURSE OF WHEY AND ITS CONCENTRATES SEPARATION

Five types of protein precipitate can be obtained in the course of whey and its concentrates separation, which, in turn, are divided into precipitates derived from cheese and curd whey. The main factors affecting the moisture content in the...

Marine Robots Mapping the Present and the Past: Unraveling the Secrets of the Deep

Underwater cultural heritage sites are subject to constant change, whether due to natural forces such as sediments, waves, currents or human intervention. Until a few decades ago, the documentation and research of these sites was mostly don...

Metabolic Characterization and in vitro Storage Ability of Chicken Sperm Separated by a Migration-Gravity Sedimentation Method.

Distribution Patterns of Iron-Oxidizing Zeta- and Beta-Proteobacteria From Different Environmental Settings at the Jan Mayen Vent Fields

Iron oxidizers are widespread in marine environments and play an important role in marine iron cycling. However, little is known about the overall distribution of iron oxidizers within hydrothermal systems, including settings with little hy...

Korean Red Ginseng exhibits no significant adverse effect on disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a randomized, double-blind, crossover study

Background: Panax ginseng is a well-known immune modulator, and there is concern that its immune-enhancing effects may negatively affect patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by worsening symptoms or increasing the risk of adverse effects...

A distinct gut microbiota composition in patients with ankylosing spondylitis is associated with increased levels of fecal calprotectin

Abstract Background Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) shares many characteristics with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Intestinal microbiota most likely plays an important role in the development of IBDs and may also be involved in the pathogen...

Improving the Transferability of Suspended Solid Estimation in Wetland and Deltaic Waters with an Empirical Hyperspectral Approach

The deposition of suspended sediment is an important process that helps wetlands accrete surface material and maintain elevation in the face of sea level rise. Optical remote sensing is often employed to map total suspended solids (TSS), th...

Belowground growth is the primary driver of radial oxygen loss from Typha angustifolia to sediment.

Integrating multi-source geoscience data with RF-weighted conditional variational autoencoders (CVAE) for porphyry copper prospectivity mapping: an application to the Ardestan district, Central Iran

Abstract Porphyry Cu deposits in the Urmia–Dokhtar magmatic belt constitute important exploration targets, yet the heterogeneous and multi-scale nature of geological, geochemical, and remote sensing data introduces substantial uncertainty i...

The distribution of antibiotic resistance and virulence factor genes in the sediment of Inexpressible Island, East Antarctica.
