This chapter focuses on key characteristics of the desert environment. A desert is a biome that is characterized by low moisture levels and infrequent and unpredictable precipitation. Deserts, also known as arid lands, are regions that gain less precipitation (rain, sleet, or snow) than their ...
25]. Yet, the composition of the microbiome is often investigated only once during plant growth, usually at the time of plant maturity or after disease has already developed. Such approaches make it difficult to disentangle causality between plant health and potentially underlying...

Of 749 patients enrolled globally in KEYNOTE-590 [1], 141 were enrolled in Japan (pembrolizumab–chemotherapy, 74 [52.5%]; placebo–chemotherapy, 67 [47.5%]). Baseline characteristics were generally balanced between treatment groups and have been previously reported [6]. Of the 74 patients assig...
All these different tipping elements share common characteristics related to their nonlinear nature. They can also interact with each other leading to synergies that can lead to cascading tipping points. Even if the probability of each tipping event is low, they can happen relatively rapidly, ...
The research aims to analyze the characteristics of this kind of projects progress in the time dimension and evaluate the complexity of the mega infrastructure project system. The complexity evaluation system including 18 measurement indicators is proposed based on the theory of complex system and the...
Consequently, calcium channel antagonists could possibly be a promising therapy avenue for Martorell HYTILU.Registers recording only 1 tumour per client don’t enable assessment for the real burden of cutaneous squamous cellular carcinoma. To analyze current changes in the incidence and attributes of tu...
