Abstract This study investigates the evolving urban morphology and landscape fragmentation in Kuwait by integrating fractal analysis, spatial statistics, and landscape metrics. Utilizing historical land use and land cove...

Coastal areas are dynamic environments shaped by the interaction between natural processes and human activities. Rapid urbanization and land use transformations increasingly threaten the ecological integrity and spatial ...

Context and background  Rapid urbanization in Lagos metropolis, Nigeria, has led to significant changes in its urban climate, manifesting as Urban Heat Islands (UHIs). Goal and Objectives: This study assesses the...

Discretization of continuous models can do more than approximate their dynamics; it can fundamentally transform their dynamical behavior, such as the complex dynamical behavior that translates the system to a chaotic sta...

In recent years, in rural areas, rurban processes where rural and urban characteristics are intertwined and have attracted attention. In these areas, especially second homes, new second infrastructure investments and pop...

We study the vortex dynamics on β-Bi2Pd single crystals with a superconducting critical temperature of 5.1 K. The upper critical fields and magnetic penetration depth are determined from magnetization measurements. At l...

Understanding LULC dynamics is essential for biodiversity conservation. This study quantified historical LULC changes from 1987 to 2023 and projected future trends (2023-2059) in Borana National Park (BNP) in southern Et...

Delhi, one of the fastest-urbanising megacities in the Global South, has undergone severe fragmentation of blue-green spaces (BGS) over three decades, driving deterioration of urban ecosystem health through impervious-su...

Urban sprawl, the uncoordinated and spatially dispersed expansion of urban areas into surrounding rural lands, poses significant challenges to sustainable development, resulting in the loss of agricultural and forest lan...

The marine environment plays a central role in the migration of Homo sapiens to Sahul c. 65,000 years ago. Despite the lower mean sea level at this time, humans must have made a maritime crossing from Sunda to Sahul. Whi...

This study investigates the ecological risk of Halti Beel, one of the significant parts of the largest wetland ecosystem of Bangladesh, following the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ecological risk assessment (E...

Abstract Background Poly(A) tails play crucial roles in regulating mRNA degradation and translation, yet their evolutionary dynamics remain largely unexplored. Results Here, we generate a comprehensive full-length RNA at...

This study presents a comprehensive spatio-temporal analysis of nighttime Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Urban Heat Island Intensity (UHII) in Coimbatore from 2001 to 2022, highlighting statistically significant warm...

Plant communities fragmented by agricultural activities were analyzed in a 250-ha area in eastern plains of Montecaseros, Gral. San Martín Department, Mendoza, Argentina. A phytosociological method assessed different si...

Abstract A strong association exists between land use land cover change and, Land Surface Temperature (LST). The study focuses on the assessment of vegetation cover, comprising forests and agricultural land, which are cr...

ABSTRACT The ruderal babassu palm (Attalea speciosa) is expanding on large areas of degraded Amazon landscapes. Decomposition of leaves and roots is in the center of plant:soil interactions. We evaluated decomposition an...

Urban areas are very dynamic places that are changing rapidly due to population growth and urbanization.This study aimed to assess the spatio-temporal dynamics of UGS under land use/land cover change (LULCC) from 1991 to...

This research examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used in adapting customer engagement in e-commerce in Malaysia. Many companies are turning to chatbots, recommendation systems, and personalized analytics in AI ...

Abstract Recent advancements in single-cell DNA methylation (scDNAm) sequencing technologies have enabled the profiling of epigenetic landscapes at unprecedented resolution, offering insights into cellular heterogeneity,...

Coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrasses, and coral reefs are highly sensitive to shoreline instability and rapid land-use changes in industrializing regions. Nayband Gulf, located adjacent to the Pars Special Ec...

Traditional rice varieties are known to exhibit anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, and cardioprotective properties due to their nutritional profile and diverse phytochemical composition. The pre...

Forest fragmentation poses a critical threat to ecosystem service functionality, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. This study investigates the spatio-temporal dynamics of forest fragmentation and its impacts on...
