Abstract In the past decade, digital platforms have entrenched themselves within key urban sectors, opening the way for radical changes in traditional industries. Along with new opportunities for city residents, globally operating platforms such as Airbnb and Uber also raised specific challenges, sparking calls for adequate responses by city ...

Abstract Wet grassland populations of wading birds in the United Kingdom have declined severely since 1990. To help mitigate these declines, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds has restored and managed lowland wet grassland nature reserves to benefit these and other species.

Trends in seabird breeding populations across the Great Barrier Reef
Abstract The Great Barrier Reef is an iconic ecosystem, known globally for its rich marine biodiversity that includes many thousands of tropical breeding seabirds. Despite indications of localized declines in some seabird species from as early as the mid‐1990s, trends in seabird populations across the reef have never been quantified.

Key n‐Gram Extractions and Analyses of Different Registers Based on Attention Network
Key n -gram extraction can be seen as extracting n‐grams which can distinguish different registers. Keyword (as n = 1, 1‐gram is the keyword) extraction models are generally carried out from two aspects, the feature extraction and the model design.

Assessing Closed Hydroponic Subsystems for Batavia Lettuce Growth Under Different Planting Densities
ABSTRACT Hydroponic systems have the potential to be sustainable and alternative methods for food production that confer advantages of high production and better control of growth. However, only a few studies have focused on leafy vegetable growth in different subsystems and environmental variables.

Combating infections under siege: Healthcare challenges amidst the military assault in Gaza
Abstract The ongoing Israeli military assault on Gaza has caused a devastating collapse of healthcare infrastructure, resulting in an unprecedented surge in infectious diseases. The destruction of sanitation systems, restrictions on medical supplies, and displacement of civilians have created an environment conducive to the rapid spread of waterborne ...

Freshwater biodiversity in China is threatened by multiple anthropogenic factors, and while there are some reasons to suppose it may be possible to bend the curve of biodiversity loss, the variety of threats and their likely interactions with ongoing climate change provide little basis for optimism. For example, the historic overexploitation of Yangtze

Experimentally testing animal responses to prescribed fire size and severity
Abstract Deserts are often highly biodiverse and provide important habitats for many threatened species. Fire is a dominant disturbance in deserts, and prescribed burning is increasingly being used by conservation managers and Indigenous peoples to mitigate the damaging effects of climate change, invasive plants, and land‐use change. The size, severity,

为确定冲刷条件下冻融坡面侵蚀产沙时空分布特征,利用稀土元素(REE)示踪技术,采用2个坡度(10°,15°),4个初始解冻深度(2,5,10,15 cm),4个流量(4.5,6.5,8.5,10.5 L/min)进行径流小区冲刷试验,分析冻融坡面侵蚀产沙时空变化规律。结果表明:相同初始解冻深度条件下土壤侵蚀产沙量随着坡度和流量的增大而增大,坡面第1坡段发生侵蚀最大,占总产沙量的68.24%,第3坡段产沙量一直趋于平稳状态;坡度相同时,侵蚀产沙量随着起始解冻深度和流量的增大而增大 ...

通过模拟室内风力、水力、冻融条件,进行单一水蚀、冻融+水蚀、冻融+风蚀+水蚀3种营力组合试验,揭示了复合侵蚀条件下的砒砂岩产流产沙变化规律。结果表明:(1)相同降雨条件下,冻融+水蚀、冻融+风蚀+水蚀试验的径流量均为水蚀试验的1.2倍,产沙量分别为水蚀试验的2.4,2.8倍。冻融能够增大砒砂岩产流产沙量,风蚀对增加侵蚀产沙量的作用较小。(2)砒砂岩产流产沙过程的峰值及变幅随营力种类的增多而增大,单一水蚀的产流产沙过程相较于复合营力作用下的水沙过程具有显著的坦化特征。(3)复合侵蚀作用使初始入渗率增加 ...
