Differential Evaluation of Ecological Resilience in 45 Cities along the Yangtze River in China: A New Multidimensional Analysis Framework by Chong Li, Yibao Wang, Wen Qing, Cuixi Li, Yujiang Yang

“…While regional differences in ecological resilience persist, overall polarization is gradually decreasing, intercity connections are strengthening, and there is a growing focus on coordinated regional development. (3) The spatial distribution of ecological resilience in Yangtze River cities demonstrates both continuity and evolution, generally forming a “core-edge” clustered pattern. …”

Culture of Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae from byproducts of the enzymatic extraction of Atlantoraja castelnaui oil by Andrea L. Salomone †, Daniela L. Lamas

“…Culture media were supplemented with the aqueous phase at a final concentration of 10 mg ml-1 total protein. The growth pattern and biomass yield of yeasts cultured in yeast extract peptone-dextrose (YPD) medium did not show statistically significant differences (p: 0.05) with the diluted medium and the aqueous fraction (AF) supplemented medium. …”

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Drought and the Ecohydrological Response in Central Asia by Keting Feng, Yanping Cao, Erji Du, Zengguang Zhou, Yaonan Zhang

“…After 2020, most of Central Asia experienced droughts at both the hydrological and groundwater droughts levels and of varying lengths and severity. During the growing season, there was a substantial positive association between the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and drought indicators such as GRACE-DSI and GRACE-WSDI. …”

Ongoing Dynamics of Peak Alpha Frequency Characterize Hypnotic Induction in Highly Hypnotic-Susceptible Individuals by Mathieu Landry, Jason da Silva Castanheira, Floriane Rousseaux, Pierre Rainville, David Ogez, Karim Jerbi

“…Here we address this gap using a time-resolved assessment of rhythmic alpha peaks and arrhythmic components of the EEG spectrum both prior to and following hypnotic induction. Using multivariate pattern classification, we investigated whether these neural features differ between individuals with high and low susceptibility to hypnosis. …”

A review of enhanced biosignature immunotherapy tools for predicting lung cancer immune phenotypes using deep learning by A. Sheryl Oliver, Md Shohel Sayeed, Siti Fatimah Abdul Razak

“…There are two main types of lung cancer: small cell and non-small cell lung cancer. These two types grow differently and are treated differently. This review explores the application of advanced deep learning (DL) techniques in enhancing biosignature immunotherapy tools for the prediction of immune phenotypes in lung cancer patients. …”

Biogeography of ocean acidification: Differential field performance of transplanted mussels to upwelling-driven variation in carbonate chemistry. by Jeremy M Rose, Carol A Blanchette, Francis Chan, Tarik C Gouhier, Peter T Raimondi, Eric Sanford, Bruce A Menge

“…Including local pH conditions with previously documented influences of ocean temperature, food availability, aerial exposure, and origin site enhanced the explanatory power of models describing observed performance differences. Responses of local mussel populations differed from those of a common source population suggesting mussel performance partially depended on genetic or persistent phenotypic differences. …”

Standard metabolic rate variation among New Zealand Orthoptera by Mariana Bulgarella, John Haywood, Eddy J. Dowle, Mary Morgan-Richards, Steven A. Trewick

“…At higher latitudes, the average environmental temperature decreases. The pattern that cold-adapted ectotherms display higher SMR at colder temperatures and greater thermal sensitivity to compensate for lower temperatures and the shorter growing and reproductive seasons is predicted from the metabolic cold adaptation (MCA) hypothesis. …”
