Environmental and geomorphological drivers of frog diversity on islands worldwide
Island biogeography models primarily rely on island physical features and isolation to explain their biodiversity patterns. While newer models have incorporated functional traits to understand plant distribution, few empirical studies have tried to disentangle geometric constraints from niche‐based processes to predict multiple diversity facets of ...

Cross‐scale interactions mediate local drivers of nonnative species richness
Many well‐supported hypotheses seek to explain drivers of nonnative species richness across spatial scales, but evidence for common patterns among regions and taxa remains inconclusive. This study investigates why consistent patterns are elusive by estimating and assessing cross‐scale interactions, wherein large‐scale factors contextualize patterns ...

A biomass‐based transparent bamboo composite doped with europium efficiently converts UV light into photosynthetically active red light, significantly enhancing plant growth and providing a sustainable alternative to petroleum‐based agricultural films. The rational design of sustainable light‐conversion agricultural materials is critical for enhancing ...

Recent glacier fluctuations in the inland Asia.
アジアでは比較的情報の多い中国西部と旧ソ連の氷河変動資料をまとめた.1960年代から80年代初期にかけて,コンロン山域以外は後退氷河が多く,アルタイ,天山,パミール,チーレン山域の順に北方ほどその傾向が強い.しかし,この間に中国西部やパミールでは1960-70年代に後退から前進に転じる氷河が増え,一方,旧ソ連天山やコーカサスでは後退傾向が優勢なまま,大きな変化はない.また,約30年∼60年間程度の氷河変動データのある乾燥域(大陸性)の3氷河(2∼4km長)と湿潤域(海洋性)の3氷河(10∼13km長)について,年間末端変動距離の氷河長に対する割合の年による変化をみた.1980年代はいずれの氷河も5m/km程度までの後退範囲にあったが,毎年観測されているTs.Tyuksu氷河 ...

Intramolecular cyclization to quench an in situ reduction‐generated azaquinone methide is a strategy that could be used for late‐stage heterocycle synthesis. Herein, synthetically accessible 4‐nitrobenzyl alcohols with a nucleophilic handle adjacent to the benzyl alcohol group are reduced under mild conditions to afford six‐ and seven‐membered ...

A rapid and reliable SALLE–CZE–UV method was developed for the determination of phenolic preservatives in insulin formulations and human plasma. The approach provides efficient extraction, fast separation (< 6 min), and excellent sensitivity, precision, and recovery, meeting regulatory requirements for accurate quantification.

PBMA products were studied for their lipid stability, texture profiles and physicochemical properties under recommended refrigerated storage conditions. Lipid tests showed no indicators of lipid oxidation in the PBMA products after refrigerated storage; however, significant changes were observed in their textural and physicochemical properties ...

Abstract This research describes the engineering of chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) via ionic gelation to encapsulate Ajwah seed extract (ASE), repurposing a plant waste product for its documented antioxidant and anticancer potential. Physicochemical analysis confirmed the formation of stable nanoparticles with hydrodynamic diameters between 152.3 and ...
