Porous fiber materials can alleviate the risk of farmland drought and flooding disasters and prompt crop growth

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Floods and droughts on farmland seriously damage agricultural production. Porous fiber materials (PFM) made from mineral rocks have high porosity, permeability, and water retention and are utilized widely in green roofs and agricultural production ...

Soil infiltration variability across diverse soil reference groups, textures, and landuse types

Geoderma
Soil infiltration, a key process in the terrestrial water cycle, is typically measured pointwise, but is often upscaled by averaging across different soil groups or even texture classes, e.g., when parameterizing water movement in land surface models. We

The effect of food taxes and subsidies on population health and health costs: a modelling study

The Lancet Public Health, 2020
Summary: Background: One possible policy response to the burden of diet-related disease is food taxes and subsidies, but the net health gains of these approaches are uncertain because of substitution effects between foods.

Novel Gene Variants in a Nationwide Cohort of Patients with Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Pheochromocytomas (PCCs) and paragangliomas (PGLs), denoted PPGLs, are rare neuroendocrine tumours and are highly heterogeneous. The phenotype–genotype correlation is poor; therefore, additional studies are needed to understand their pathogenesis.

Texture analysis of routine T2 weighted fat-saturated images can identify head and neck paragangliomas – A pilot study

European Journal of Radiology Open, 2020
Purpose: To evaluate the role of the first and second-order texture parameters obtained from T2-weighted fat-saturated DIXON images in differentiating paragangliomas from other neck masses, and to develop a statistical model to classify them.
