Authoring Terrestrial Planets with Diffusion Models

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract To support the design and subsequent generation of terrestrial planets for use in the creative media, we propose a solution that employs a generative model trained on satellite data from planetary bodies with a defined solid surface, such as the Earth and Mars.

Exploring drivers and costs of partial trans‐Saharan migration in juvenile vultures

Ibis, EarlyView.
Partial migration occurs when only a subset of individuals within a population undertakes a migratory journey. The decision to migrate can be influenced by intrinsic traits (e.g. sex or physical condition) as well as by extrinsic factors (e.g. social environment or resource availability).

Pangenome analysis reveals the genetic mechanism underlying high‐altitude adaptation in Qinghai–Xizang (Tibet) Plateau Rhododendron

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Pan‐genome analysis reveals that high‐altitude Rhododendron species resist alpine cold stress by rapidly sensing and engaging the chilling response pathway and genes that directly and indirectly protect the plant from UV radiation. Heritable genomic features such as long terminal repeats contribute to the adaptive diversification of Rhododendron ...

Grazing intensity impacts on soil carbon stocks of Western Himalayan Alpine paddocks

Carbon Management, 2019
Overgrazing in the fragile Himalayan alpine grassland ecosystems is a major cause of substantial loss of soil organic carbon (SOC). The current study was conducted to analyze the effects of grazing on SOC in seven alpine grasslands of Kashmir.

A Hybrid Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation Method for Mapping Landslide Susceptible Areas in Kullu Valley, Himalayas

Géosciences, 2019
In this paper we report our results from analysing a hybrid spatial multi-criteria evaluation (SMCE) method for generating landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM). This study is the first of its kind in the Kullu valley, Himalayas.

Rhododendron diversity patterns provide new insights for conserving China's montane flora

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrating distribution, phylogenetic, and functional trait data for 603 Rhododendron species in China identified significant conservation hotspots of multidimensional diversity, particularly in the Hengduan Mountains. Climate seasonality and topographic heterogeneity jointly influenced these patterns; however, notable conservation gaps remained ...

Towards a resilient and prosperous Himalayan Region: a critical analysis of the development paradigms

Journal of Social Sciences
The increasing frequency and magnitude of disasters in the Himalayan region are not solely attributable to natural forces. The prevailing development paradigm, characterized by unsustainable tourism, large-scale hydropower projects, and a disregard for ...

Deciphering Cold Stress Resilience: Multiomics Insights in Contrasting Wheat Genotypes From the Western Himalayas

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cold stress threatens wheat productivity, particularly in regions with extreme climatic conditions. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying wheat's response to cold stress, we performed a multiomics analysis integrating lipidomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics.

From Ruler to Healer: Changes in Religious Experience in the Western Himalayas [PDF]

, 2016
Research literature on the Western Himalayas emphasizes the theistic control of local deities. In the framework of this ruling system, described by the concepts of \u27Little Kingdom\u27 and \u27government by deity\u27, local deities functioned as gods ...
