Interplanetary external driven quasidynamo as the origin of geomagnetic jerks correlated with length of day and gravity anomaly

We report phenomenological inevitable correlation between the Sun’s magnetic field oscillation through the Earth and the Jupiter, with sinusoidal geomagnetic jerks observed at the Earth, additionally aligned with the gravity and length of d...

Spatial and temporal distribution of vertical ground movements at Mt. Vesuvius in the period 1973-2009

Since the early ’70s vertical ground movements at Mount Vesuvius area have been investigated and monitored by the Osservatorio Vesuviano (Isti-tuto Nazionale di Geofisica Vulcanologia - Osservatorio Vesuviano since 2001). This monitoring be...

Vulsino volcanic aquifer in Umbria Region : Hydrogeological survey for the characterization of the presence of arsenic and aluminium and the correct use of groundwater

In December 2009 and the first months of 2010, a large water crisis took place in the Orvieto area, because of sudden high concentration of aluminum (Al) in the groundwater of the vulsino aquifer. This represents a supply for Orvieto’s popu...

The 2024 Mj 7.6 Noto Peninsula, Japan earthquake caused by the fluid flow in the crust

On January 1, 2024 ​at 16:10:09 JST, an Mj 7.6 earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in the southern part of the Sea of Japan. This location has been experiencing an earthquake swarm for more than three years. Here, we provide an overview of...

The emission factor of volatile isoprenoids: stress, acclimation, and developmental responses

The rate of constitutive isoprenoid emissions from plants is driven by plant emission capacity under specified environmental conditions (<i>E</i><sub>S</sub>, the emission factor) and by responsiveness of the emissio...

The cause of high intensity of seismicity in Ukraine

In the article, the earthquake near Sumy is considered in detail. According to the authors, this earthquake occurred under the influence of several stress regimes. At the regional level: it is related to the transfer of stresses from the Vr...

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...

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...

Deglacial release of petrogenic and permafrost carbon from the Canadian Arctic impacting the carbon cycle

Abstract The changes in atmospheric pCO2 provide evidence for the release of large amounts of ancient carbon during the last deglaciation. However, the sources and mechanisms that contributed to this process remain unresolved. Here, we pres...

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...

European Current Research on Fluid Inclusions — ECROFI XXI Leoben (Austria)

Detecting the dominant contributions of runoff variance across the source region of the Yellow River using a new decomposition framework

Quantifying the contributions of climatic variables to runoff variance is still a great challenge to water resource management. This study adopted an extended Budyko framework to investigate the effects of terrestrial water storage changes ...

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...

Chromosome-level genome assembly and population genomics analysis of Camellia rubituberculata provide insights into adaptation to karst habitats

Karst flora confined to isolated ‘habitat islands’ evolve specialized adaptations and unique traits, serving as ideal models for investigating adaptive evolution and species diversification mechanisms. Camellia rubituberculata, endemic to t...

Influence of weather on gobbling activity of male wild turkeys

Abstract Gobbling activity of Eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris; hereafter, turkeys) has been widely studied, focusing on drivers of daily variation. Weather variables are widely believed to influence gobbling activity, b...

Impacts of land use and cover changes on ecosystem service values from 1992 to 2052 in Gena District, Southwest Ethiopia

Land use and cover changes alter the functions and structures of ecosystem, resulting in variations in Ecosystem Service Values (ESVs). Thus, we examined the impacts of land use/land cover (LULC) changes on ESVs from 1992 to 2052 using geos...

Brood sex ratio in the Yellow-bellied Prinia (Prinia flaviventris)

Abstract Background The adjustment of sex ratios in birds can occur at the egg and nestling stages. Previous studies showed that the sex ratio was affected by environmental factors and parental condition; it may result in seasonal and ecosy...

Expert projections on the development and application of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage technologies

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is a crucial element in most modelling studies on emission pathways of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to limit global warming. BECCS can substitute fossil fuels in energy prod...

Effect of Accelerated Weathering on Color and Physico-mechanical Properties of Wood-plastic Composites with Nano Titanium Dioxide

Polypropylene (PP) with black locust wood flour and maleic grafted polypropylene were used to prepare wood plastic composites (WPC) by injection molding. The effect of the addition of nano titanium oxide (nano TiO2) on the properties of the...

Systematic evolution of bZIP transcription factors in Malvales and functional exploration of AsbZIP14 and AsbZIP41 in Aquilaria sinensis

IntroductionAgarwood, the dark-brown resin produced by Aquilaria trees, has been widely used as incense, spice, perfume or traditional medicine and 2-(2-phenethyl) chromones (PECs) are the key markers responsible for agarwood formation. But...
