Recently new materials are being considered as potentially useful tools in the prevention of land degradation leading to slope instabilities; among them polymers such as anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) are gaining more and more interest. PAM is known and employed as an additi...
Rocky desertification (RD) is a special process of land deterioration in karst topography, with a view of bedrock exposure and an effect of ecological degradation. Among the three largest karst regions in the world, southwest China boasts the largest RD area and highest diversity of karst landscap...
“Deforestation and forest degradation will continue in most developing regions; a reversal of the situation would depend on structural shifts in economies to reduce direct and indirect dependence on land. In most developing tropical countries,agricultural land used for both subsistence and commercial cul...
A battery should also come with a high level of ingress protection to prevent dust particles or humidity from reaching the interior, which can cause short circuits or even corrosion of critical parts. Huawei's Luna battery features IP 66...
The embedded design of the heat pipe was likely to cause buckling of the heat pipe during the operation. The difficulty is that good thermal contact must be maintained to guarantee good heat transfer while a loose fit is desired to minimize thermal stresses. Overall, these parallel capillary ...
A still increasing number of reports, in particular, have revealed that mutations in the autophagy-related (ATG) genes, encoding the key players of macroautophagy, are either the cause or represent a risk factor for the development of several illnesses. The aim of this review is to provide a...
Azo-dyes are the class of the most widely used dyes industrially having a world mar- ket share of 60–70 %. The residues of dye presented in the effluent may consist of 50 % of the influent flow [24], and these cause the textile wastewater high color, and high pollutants concentration...
Risk Assessment: AI algorithms can assess the risk of habitat loss or degradation, helping to prioritize areas for conservation and calculate biodiversity credits. Monitoring and Enforcement: AI can monitor changes in land use and detect illegal activities that might harm biodiversity. This aids in en...
It is concluded, therefore, that hepatic ERα plays a crucial role in the formation of gallstones in exposure to high levels of estrogen (4). It has already been established that biliary cholesterol hypersecretion is the primary cause of cholesterol gallstones in humans and in several animal ...
The recent advancements made in the realms of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) have unveiled transformative prospects and opportunities to enhance and optimize the environmental performance and efficiency of smart cities. These strides have, in turn, impacted smar...
