Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

Potential for using climate forecasts in spatio-temporal prediction of dengue fever incidence in Malaysia submitted [PDF]
, 2015 Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted by the bite of female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. It is estimated that nearly 40% of the world’s population is now at risk from Dengue in over 100 endemic countries including Malaysia.

The spread of non‐native species
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

c‐Rel–dependent Chk2 signaling regulates the DNA damage response limiting hepatocarcinogenesis
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 In response to genotoxic injury, c‐Rel upregulates ATM‐Chk2‐p53 pathway DNA damage proteins to limiting hepatocarcinogenesis. Abstract Background and Aims Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer‐related death. The NF‐κB transcription factor family subunit c‐Rel is typically protumorigenic; however, it has recently been reported as a

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Effect of Core Angle in Earth Dam on Seepage Characteristic (Numerical Model)
Tikrit Journal of Engineering SciencesSeepage through earth dams causes seepage forces, pore water pressures, and hydraulic gradients. These forces could create piping, sloughing, or sliding, which could fail an earth dam if not kept within the allowable ranges.

Flow and Deformation Analysis of Zoned Earth Dam by the Finite Element Method
Diyala Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2015 A finite element method is practical and applicable for many fields including for geotechnical engineering structures. Seepage through earth dam is difficult to analyze especially dams with multiple zones.
