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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by chronic metabolic dysfunction and low-grade inflammation. This study aimed to identify inflammation-associated molecular targets in T2DM and to computationally evaluate...

Abstract Background Anthropogenic pressures, including urbanisation, globalisation and climate change, have facilitated an increased risk for emergence or re-emergence of mosquito-borne diseases into regions such as the ...

Societal and political voices call for stronger environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, and reduced pesticide use. Integrating digital farming technologies into farming systems like strip intercropping offer...

For 25 years, the Brazilian Society of Nephrology has systematically monitored chronic dialysis care through the Brazilian Dialysis Survey, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of dialysis practices and access ...

Communities are central to social-ecological systems where environmental dynamics, development pressures, and human well-being intersect. Yet, infrastructure planning often overlooks this complexity, leading to unintende...

Abstract Background Follicular development is a prerequisite for vertebrate reproduction, and it is precisely regulated by complex genomic conformations and regulatory elements. However, the dynamic changes in the intera...
