A cross-sectional study examining predictors of visit frequency to local green space and the impact this has on physical activity levels

BMC Public Health, 2016
Background Lack of physical activity (PA) is a growing public health concern. There is a growing body of literature that suggests a positive relationship may exist between the amount of local green space near one’s home and PA levels.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Outlooks and Challenges for Urban Green Space Development: A Review Case Study in Thailand

Applied Environmental Research
Even though prior studies have provided ample proof of the benefits of urban green space, Thailand's development and exploitation of urban green space remain insufficiently efficient. To assess the prospects for urban green space development in Thailand,

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Test and theoretical investigation of fiber-reinforced phosphogypsum short columns with steel- fiber composite bars (SFCB) and BFRP ties under axial compressive load

Results in Engineering
The high brittleness and corrosiveness of phosphogypsum materials limit the structural application of such materials. To address this, PVA fibers and steel-FRP composite bars (SFCB) are synergistically employed to reinforce plain phosphogypsum short ...

GREEN SPACE, HEALTH INEQUALITY, AND PREGNANCY

ISEE Conference Abstracts, 2011
Green spaces have been suggested to improve physical and mental health and well-being by increasing physical activity, reducing air pollution, noise, and ambient temperature, increasing social contacts and relieving psychophysiological stress. Although these mechanisms also suggest potential beneficial effects of green spaces on pregnancy outcomes, to ...

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Spatial Green Space Assessment in Suburbia: Implications for Urban Development

Environment and Natural Resources Journal
Nonthaburi, a suburban province adjacent to the Bangkok Metropolis, has experienced a reduction in green spaces due to urban expansion. This study quantified Nonthaburi’s green space through visual interpretation of land use and land cover (LULC) using ...

Analysis of Inequality among Indicators of Sustainable Development of Urban Green Space (A Case Study: Tehran City Zones) [PDF]

جغرافیای اجتماعی شهری, 2015
The purpose of this study is to examine the indicators for urban green space, realizing the level of regional inequality, and rating the 22 districts of Tehran regarding their enjoyment of green space. The method of this study is standard descriptive and
