ABSTRACT On the southern edge of Brazilian Amazonia, within the Araguaia-Tocantins Basin, the Araguaia River and its main tributary, the Mortes River, are of high ecological, geopolitical and socioeconomic importance. Un...

Biological monitoring requires a comprehensive baseline of assemblage distribution patterns and their environmental drivers. In this study we evaluated benthic macroinvertebrates in a regulated river, located in a semi-a...

Abstract In recent years, the frequent occurrence of high-concentration ozone pollution events has attracted widespread attention from all sectors of society. Using high spatial resolution data to accurately calculate ne...

ABSTRACT The analysis of spatiotemporal data is essential across many fields, such as transportation, meteorology and healthcare. Data gathered in practical applications often suffer from incompleteness due to device fai...

Abstract Physical sciences are essential to the predictive modeling of complex environmental systems, particularly environmental monitoring and sustainability applications, as they provide the deterministic foundation re...

Soil moisture is a key factor connecting climate signals and freezing processes, and its dynamic changes profoundly affect the water cycle and ecosystems in alpine regions. However, the vertical variation patterns of its...

The dynamic range limitation is intrinsic to conventional RGB cameras, which reduces global contrast and causes the loss of high-frequency details such as textures and edges in complex, dynamic traffic environments (e.g....

The importance of small-scale heterogeneity in local factors which overrides that of larger-scales factors, suggest that local factors play a major role in determining the richness and prevalence of larval digeneans in i...

China is the world's largest emitter of CO2 and aims to reach carbon neutrality by 2060. However, China's terrestrial ecosystem carbon budget (CB), which is crucial to accelerating the realization of the Paris Agreement ...

Abstract The remaining useful life (RUL) estimation of bearings is critical for ensuring the reliability of mechanical systems. Owing to the rapid development of deep learning methods, a multitude of data-driven RUL esti...

With the discoveries of new hominin fossils from historically well-studied as well as poorly sampled regions, and thanks to great advances in paleogenetic studies, Asian paleoanthropology has now entered a new phase of r...

Transport of hydrogen in blended form in existing natural gas pipelines contributes to the accelerated realization of a full-scale hydrogen economy. However, steel pipelines are considered susceptible to hydrogen-induced...

The semi-underground double-storey squat silo (SDSS) is innovative storage structure. The underground section of SDSS uses shallow geologic energy for low-temperature storage, indicating its potential suitability for lon...

Tsunami-like waves pose a serious threat to coastal infrastructure, necessitating effective mitigation measures to reduce inundation and associated damage. This study uses a numerical wave tank (NWT) to investigate the h...

In living organisms, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is counterbalanced by their elimination and/or prevention of formation which in concert can typically maintain a steady-state (stationary) ROS level. Howev...

Social Media have increasingly provided data about the movement of people in cities making them useful in understanding the daily life of people in different geographies. Particularly useful for travel analysis is when S...

Lake Tanganyika, the world's second-largest freshwater lake by volume, is a vital resource for millions in East Africa, providing water, food, and economic opportunities while supporting exceptional biodiversity. ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Among Paramyxoviruses (PMVs), measles virus (MeV) and human parainfluenza virus (HPIV) are major contributors to respiratory tract infections worldwide. Despite recurrent outbreaks of MeV and...

Large deviation theory provides a framework to understand macroscopic fluctuations and collective phenomena in many-body nonequilibrium systems in terms of microscopic dynamics. In these lecture notes we discuss the larg...

Abstract Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is a key secondary pollutant formed through atmospheric photochemical reactions and is regarded as a characteristic indicator of photochemical pollution. In China, while primary pollut...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder characterised by re-experiencing, avoidance and hyperarousal. Memory abnormalities manifested as intrusive thoughts and prolonged distressful em...

INTRODUCTION: The uneven spatiotemporal distribution of electric vehicle (EV) charging demand and the limitations of traditional methods in adapting to dynamic correlations pose significant challenges to charging infrast...

Abstract The dissemination route of brain metastases dictates their spatiotemporal distribution, but whether it alters the ultrastructural state of the blood-tumor barrier remains unresolved. Here, we compared a modified...

Abstract Background Malaria, whose parasites are transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, remains a major public health burden in Madagascar despite the control measures led by the National Malaria Control Program. Understan...
