Ginsenoside Rg1 Ameliorates LPS‐Induced Sepsis‐Associated Lung Injury in Mice via VEGFC/D‐VEGFR3 Signaling‐Mediated Lymphangiogenesis and Lymphatic Remodeling

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sepsis‐induced acute lung injury (ALI) remains challenging to treat, with conventional anti‐inflammatory therapies offering limited efficacy. The lymphatic system is crucial for removing edema and inflammatory mediators, and its impairment can exacerbate lung injury.

Experimental investigation of cohesive soil erosion caused by translating submerged inclined water jets

Applied Ocean Research
Very limited research has been carried out to investigate sediment erosion caused by subaqueous inclined water jets, despite the fact that such water jets are used in subsea engineering (e.g., dredging, trenching, and deep sea mining).

Spatial Lock‐In and Reclamation Delay in Coal‐Subsidence Landscapes: Land Degradation Under Passive Water‐Retention Strategies

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In coal‐grain composite regions, intensive underground coal extraction causes large‐scale surface subsidence; under shallow groundwater conditions, these subsided landscapes rapidly transform former croplands into persistent open water bodies, creating long‐term inundated landscapes. Passive water‐retention strategies in these areas often rely

Stand Age, Standard Retention Density and Site Conditions as Drivers of Shoot Biomass Accumulation in Mediterranean Oak Coppices

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mediterranean oak coppices represent an important fuelwood resource in Central Italy, but management decisions are often constrained by limited quantitative evidence on the relative importance of stand development, standard retention, site conditions, and climate in driving shoot biomass accumulation.

Cyclic Shear Responses of Saw-Tooth Artificial Rock Joints Under Constant Normal Load Conditions: Laboratory Investigation and Numerical Simulation

Geosciences
Understanding the movement behavior of upper blocks along rock joints or weak planes is crucial for the geological hazard forecast and prediction. This paper presents experimental and numerical investigations of a saw-tooth joint under shear and normal ...

Effects of Sea‐Level Rise on Dredging and Dredged Estuary Morphology

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2022
AbstractEstuaries and deltas worldwide are facing land loss and drowning due to sea‐level rise (SLR). Commonly home to ports, their channels are dredged and deepened for navigation. However, little is known about how such sediment management will interact with changing sediment transport patterns due to SLR. Using scale experiments, empirical relations

Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.

Application of an Innovative Jet Pump System for the Sediment Management in a Port Channel: Techno-Economic Assessment based on Experimental Measurements

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
The realization of infrastructures in coastal environment modifies water and sediment natural current regime. In particular, sediment can be entrained and accumulated in port infrastructure like docks, haling basins, or port entrances and channels ...
