Aflatoxin contamination in dried fruits and nuts in Bangladesh: Occurrence, dietary exposure, and health risk assessment

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dried fruits and nuts are widely consumed for their desirable sensory qualities and high nutritional value, providing essential nutrients such as proteins, healthy fatty acids, potassium, dietary fiber, and bioactive compounds. However, they are highly susceptible to aflatoxin contamination, particularly in humid tropical regions ...

Identification of flash flood hazard zones in mountainous small watershed of Aceh Besar Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia

Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, 2016
Flash-floods develop at space and time scales that conventional observation systems were not able to monitor for rainfall, stream flow and sediment discharge. This condition resulted in greater casualties and tremendous economic losses.

Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.

Performance of multi-level association rule mining for the relationship between causal factor patterns and flash flood magnitudes in a humid area

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2019
Integrated with K-means clustering and Apriori algorithm, the multi-level association rule mining is proposed to investigate the causal factor patterns of flash floods, which consists of the following three steps: first, the association between causal ...

Climate‐Smart Destination Marketing and Community‐Based Tourism for Socio‐Economic Revitalization in Degraded Landscapes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the global tourism industry confronts the existential imperatives of the Anthropocene, the remediation of degraded landscapes through regenerative economic models has emerged as a critical frontier in sustainability science. This research presents a rigorous empirical examination of the “restoration–revenue” paradigm, investigating the ...

Beyond the Shelf: Navigating Scarcity in the Digital Age

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Scarcity is a well‐established marketing tactic, yet its effects in digital retail environments remain less well understood. This research examines how different types of online scarcity cues influence consumer behavior and whether some cues may produce unintended responses.

The evaluation of boundary‐layer turbulence in high‐resolution numerical weather prediction simulations using Doppler lidar

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A new method compares both kilometer and sub‐kilometre weather model simulations with Doppler lidar observations to assess the representation of boundary‐layer turbulence. While bulk boundary‐layer properties are well represented, vertical velocity variance is strongly underestimated in both simulations.

Increasing urban flash flood risk attributable to both climate and development

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A new event impact attribution methodology that combines convection‐permitting climate model data with flood inundation modelling was used for a five‐hour flash‐flooding event in the suburbs of Leeds in 2014. The results show increased urban flood extent due to both climate change (+16%) and increased urbanisation (+29%).
