Climate factors dominate the elevational variation in grassland plant resource utilization strategies

Specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) are key leaf functional traits often used to reflect plant resource utilization strategies and predict plant responses to environmental changes. In general, grassland plants at dif...

Particulate matter, air quality and climate: lessons learned and future needs

The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year in the refereed literature. This is in part due to the enormou...

Microbial Biofilms Along a Geochemical Gradient at the Shallow-Water Hydrothermal System of Vulcano Island, Mediterranean Sea

Shallow water hydrothermal vents represent highly dynamic environments where strong geochemical gradients can shape microbial communities. Recently, these systems are being widely used for investigating the effects of ocean acidification on...

A long-term daily 500 m snow cover extent product over China (1981–2000)

Due to the limitations of early satellite sensors in terms of spatial resolution, temporal resolution, and time series availability, there is currently a lack of long-term daily snow cover extent (SCE) products with 500 m spatial resolution...

Assessment of the physicochemical and bacteriological quality of water source and a well in Bakoya aquifer, northern Morocco

This study aims to investigate the physical, chemical, and bacteriological quality of water derived from both a well and a spring across three distinct periods (2008, 2012, and 2021) in both summer and winter. These sampling points are situ...

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...

Assessing the impact of the Kuroshio Current on vertical cloud structure using CloudSat data

This study analyzed CloudSat satellite data to determine how the warm ocean Kuroshio Current affects the vertical structure of clouds. Rainfall intensity around the middle troposphere (6 km in height) over the Kuroshio was greater than tha...

Controle da podridão parda do pessegueiro com fungicidas e fosfitos avaliados em pré e pós-colheita Control of peach tree brown rot by fungicides and phosphites evaluated during preharvest and postharvest

A podridão parda é a doença mais importante para a cultura do pessegueiro, entretanto, no Brasil são escassos os trabalhos realizados a campo visando o seu controle. Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, selecionar fungicidas em laboratório e avali...

MiRNA Profiles in Lymphoblastoid Cell Lines of Finnish Prostate Cancer Families.

BACKGROUND:Heritable factors are evidently involved in prostate cancer (PrCa) carcinogenesis, but currently, genetic markers are not routinely used in screening or diagnostics of the disease. More precise information is needed for making tr...

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 ...

A cross-sectional assessment of knowledge, attitude, and practice of dentists regarding acute herpetic gingivostomatitis in children

Acute herpetic gingivostomatitis (AHGS) is the oral manifestation of HVS-1 primary infection. Despite being a self-limiting infection, AHGS can progress to severe complications. Dentists should be prepared to correctly diagnose and treat th...

Perceptions of medical students on oral healthcare in Iran: a cross-sectional study

Anticancer, antioxidant and antibacterial potential of L-Glutaminase (Streptomyces roseolus strain ZKB1) capped silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles and its molecular characterization

Abstract The current investigation reports anti-cancer, antioxidant and antibacterial potential of L-Glutaminase (Streptomyces roseolus strain ZKB1) and L-Glutaminase capped nanoparticles. The highest L-Glutaminase production of 9.57 U/mL w...

Perception of dental trauma by community health workers in the Amazon region

The high prevalence of dental trauma among the population highlights the importance of the preventative actions taken after trauma to preserve the integrity of the dental organ. The present study aimed to evaluate the perception of the Comm...

Evaluation of dentinal tubule penetration of a novel nano calcium hydroxide–zinc oxide intracanal medicament: An in vitro pilot study

Background: Residual microorganisms within dentinal tubules remain a key factor in persistent endodontic infections. Therefore, the ability of intracanal medicaments to effectively penetrate these tubules is critical for post-endodontic tre...
