Ecological sensitivity analysis of the Chengdu–Chongqing urban agglomeration toward the Yangtze river economic belt in China by Meicen Chen, Ling Wang

“…The results of the study show that under the optimistic scenario, the ecological sensitivity of the CCUA presents a spatial pattern of “high in the urban core and low in the periphery, high in the mountainous areas and low in the plains” and exhibits significant geographic-economic coupling characteristics, and the areas of no sensitivity, low sensitivity, moderate sensitivity, high sensitivity, and extreme sensitivity account for 5.30%, 35%, 42.37%, 16.65%, and 0.56% of the total area, respectively. …”

Pyruvate decarboxylase and thiamine biosynthetic genes are regulated differently by Pdc2 in S. cerevisiae and C. glabrata. by Christine L Iosue, Julia M Ugras, Yakendra Bajgain, Cory A Dottor, Peyton L Stauffer, Rachael A Hopkins, Emma C Lang, Dennis D Wykoff

“…C. glabrata lacks Thi2, and it is likely that inclusion of Thi2 into transcriptional regulation in S. cerevisiae allows for a more complex regulation pattern and regulation of THI and PDC genes. We present evidence that Pdc2 functions independent of Thi2 and Thi3 in both species. …”

Quality of Life in Wilson’s Disease: A Systematic Literature Review by Chakrapani Balijepalli, Kevin Yan, Lakshmi Gullapalli, Stephane Barakat, Helene Chevrou-Severac, Eric Druyts

“…QOL questionnaires used across studies included the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey Questionnaire (version 1) (SF-12) (n=2), the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey Questionnaire (version 1) (SF-36) (n=3), Global Assessment Scale (GAS) (n=1), and World Health Organization QOL brief questionnaire (WHO-QOL-BREF) (n=1). Overall, the pattern in QOL from most studies demonstrated a worse QOL in WD patients compared with the general population, a deterioration in QOL for patients presenting with neurologic symptoms, and more frequent psychiatric symptoms compared with the ones with hepatic symptoms…”

Analysis of Circulation Characteristics and Causes on Two Types of Topographic Precipitation Processes around the Qilian Mountains in Summer by Siyi WANG, Xiao LONG, Chao LI, Yiqing CAO, Wenyu ZHANG

“…Precipitation around the Qilian Mountains has close relationship with developing of large-scale circulation system and orographic cloud forced by complex topography in this region.The present work compares synoptic pattern and relevant physical parameters as well as development mechanism of two type precipitation processes around the Qilian Mountains such as CASE1 which occurred during July 19 -20， 2018 and CASE2 which occurred on August 28， 2018 with observed data and high resolution data from WRF model version 3.8.1.Synoptic analyses show that CASE1 precipitation process is the result of interaction between favorable large-scale and local topography， CASE2 is mainly a precipitation process induced by local topography and no significant large-scale circulation system in this process.Results of diagnosis analyses indicate that CASE1 has characteristics such as sufficient water vapor supply， obviously unstable of the stratification， high effective convective energy （1064.84 J·kg-1）， strong vertical shear of the horizontal wind （27.6 m·s-1）， Richardson number （Ri） less than 0 and strong vertical ascending motion et al.before precipitation， which caused the formation of larger area and persistent precipitation process.However， the stratification in CASE2 is more stable than that in CASE1， and the maximum of MCAPE （546.15 J·kg-1） is about half of that in CASE1， the maximum horizontal wind vertical shear （17.37 m·s-1） is far less than that of CASE1， and Richardson number is greater than 0 in the precipitation stage， which means it is a weak convective precipitation process and precipitation rate is relatively smaller as well as and relatively short duration.…”
