Food deserts in hot arid developing regions: An analysis of food accessibility in Abu Dhabi, UAE
Transportation Research Interdisciplinary PerspectivesThis study examines food environments in nine Abu Dhabi neighborhoods by analyzing food accessibility at neighborhood and superblock scales. Distances from plot centroids to food retail within an 800-m threshold were measured, and food retail locations ...

Feed and Food from Desert Environments [PDF]
, 1979 The Bio-Saline Concept. The term “Bio-Saline Research” was originally designated by the National Science Foundation scientists to describe a concept “that in time will lead to sustainable industries based specifically on plants selected to grow in salt water”,1 particularly in arid land areas of the Earth, where there is an abundance of solar radiation,

Tissue Engineered Human Elastic Cartilage From Primary Auricular Chondrocytes for Ear Reconstruction
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Despite over three decades of research, no tissue‐engineered solution for auricular reconstruction in microtia patients has reached clinical translation. The key challenge lies in generating functional elastic cartilage ex vivo. Here, we integrate synergistic cell‐biomaterial strategies to engineer auricular grafts with mechanical and histological ...

An Engineered Living Material With Pro‐Angiogenic Activity Inducible by Near‐Infrared Light
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.NIR‐responsive engineered living materials (ELMs) for controlled angiogenesis: Near‐infrared (800 nm) light activates engineered probiotic bacteria within alginate‐based living materials to secrete a blood vessel‐regenerating protein. The released protein promotes pro‐angiogenic effects in endothelial networks and chick chorioallantoic membranes.
