En

by Chunxue Han, Ruichao Li, Haigang Li

Precipitation distribution during the growing season and interannual precipitation variation may have significant impacts on grassland ecosystem productivity at the site level. To explore the effect of the distribution of precipitation on plant communities in the Inner Mongolian desert steppe dominated by Stipa breviflora, we analyzed monthly precipitation patterns during the growing season (May–October) over the past 60 years (1961–2020) and identified...

Why partner? Harnessing value from collaborative sustainable business models to restore coral reefs at scale

En

by Taryn M. Kong, Bruce Taylor, Victoria Graham

Tropical coral reefs provide a wide range of ecosystem services that benefit millions worldwide. However, the current scale of coral reef restoration is a long way from matching the extent needed to protect coral reefs globally, and this implementation gap presents a complex challenge to overcome. Cross-sectoral collaborative sustainable business models (CSBMs) present an interesting opportunity to scale up coral restoration, though this area is yet to be explored in the literature.

From clicks to calories: Online-to-offline food consumption and overweight and obesity

En

by Yuanyi Zou, Lin Lin

The rise in online-to-offline (O2O) take-out food consumption has become a global urban phenomenon. While links between general fast-food consumption and increased risks of overweight and obesity are well-documented, the specific relationship with O2O take-out food has not been thoroughly examined. This study aims to fill this research gap by investigating the impacts of take-out food consumption on the risks of being overweight and obese among urban residents. A cross-sectional...

by Xinyun Wang, Ji Zhu, Peipei Pan

Grassland plays a crucial role in the global cycles of matter, energy, water and, climate regulation. Biomass serves as one of the fundamental indicators for evaluating the ecological status of grassland. This study utilized the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach (CASA) model to estimate Net Primary Productivity (NPP) from meteorological data and the Global Inventory Monitoring and Modeling System (GIMMS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) remote...

Psycho-physical interactions in Parkinson’s Disease: Protocol for a prospective observational cohort study

Plos.org 
En

by Philip Hodgson, Alastair Jordan, Charikleia Sinani, Divine Charura

Background

Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) often experience not only physical symptoms but also a higher prevalence of psychological issues, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and psychotic symptoms, compared to the general population. The relationship between these physical and psychological symptoms remains poorly understood, particularly in relation to commonly used measures of physical function and a wider variety of psychological symptoms.

by Chuan Li, Yiping Zhang, Haijiao Bu, Hong Lan, Xianwei Heng

High temperature is a critical safety concern that poses challenges to the safe and efficient operation of coal mines. To explore the mechanical behavior and fracture mechanisms of coal exposed to high temperatures, coal samples were subjected to various thermal treatments. After cooling, uniaxial compression tests were performed using an electronic universal testing machine to assess their macroscopic properties. A discrete element numerical model... Читать дальше...

En

by Rahul M. Nandre, Amy Hauck Newman, Pramod S. Terse

R-VK4-116 is currently being developed as a medication to treat opioid use disorder (OUD). To characterize in vitro safety properties of R-VK4-116, metabolic stability in hepatocytes or liver microsomes, metabolite identification, metabolism/transporter-mediated drug interactions, lysosomal perturbation, mitochondrial toxicity, off-target enzyme effects, cellular and nuclear receptor functional assays, electrophysiological assays, CiPA...

Barriers and enablers for implementation of clinical practice guidelines in maternity and neonatal settings: A rapid review

Plos.org 
En

by Kalpana Raghunathan, Christine East, Kritika Poudel

Background

Maternity and neonatal services are rapidly changing in Australia because of evolving needs of the community and patient population. Clinical practice guidelines focused on early interventions and prevention strategies can decrease risk for preventable negative health outcomes in this population. However, despite the existence of several clinical practice guidelines, their translation into practice remains problematic for healthcare services. Читать дальше...

Right atrial volume index and right atrial volume predict atrial fibrillation recurrence: A meta-analysis

Plos.org 
En

by Jia-Ming Han, Qian Xie, Xiu-Ying Song, Yu-lan Ma

Background

Atrial volume index and atrial volume have recently been identified as predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence following electrical cardioversion or radiofrequency ablation. However, most studies have reported the relationship between LAVI/LAV and AF recurrence, whereas there is little information on the relationship between RAVI/RAV and AF recurrence. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to assess the relationship... Читать дальше...
