Trade-offs between soil splash and water infiltration modulate erosion dynamics following rubber-to-balsa plantation conversion

Agricultural Water Management
Accelerated soil erosion driven by improper land-use changes severely threatens the sustainability of global plantation ecosystems. Although forest conversion is known to intensify splash erosion—the critical initial phase of water erosion—it remains ...

Comparative Drug Response Profiling in Neuroblastoma Cell Lines and Patient‐Derived Tumor Organoids

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐risk neuroblastoma remains a leading cause of pediatric cancer mortality, and improved preclinical models are needed to guide therapeutic developments. We screened seven high‐risk neuroblastoma cell lines and three patient‐derived tumor organoids with 528 compounds alongside bone marrow controls, and compared them with external datasets ...

Floral symmetry is associated with contrasting hydraulic strategies and trait coordination in angiosperm flowers

Plant Diversity
Floral symmetry is widely recognized as a key driver of angiosperm diversification, yet how actinomorphic and zygomorphic flowers differ in their hydraulic architecture remains poorly understood.

Global stability of a delayed and diffusive virus model with nonlinear infection function

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2021
This paper studies a delayed viral infection model with diffusion and a general incidence rate. A discrete-time model was derived by applying nonstandard finite difference scheme. The positivity and boundedness of solutions are presented.

An SEIR model with infectious latent and a periodic vaccination strategy

Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2021
An SEIR epidemic model with a nonconstant vaccination strategy is studied. This SEIR model has two disease transmission rates β1 and β2 which imitate the fact that, for some infectious diseases, a latent person can pass the disease into a susceptible one.

CHOICES FOR GLOBAL SOCIAL STABILITY [PDF]

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2008
Abstract Scientists and societal leaders increasingly agree that human activity is irretrievably changing the environment in which human life and other life forms co-exist. Action to reduce human impact on the environment is an imperative prerequisite to achieving social stability.
