The metacoupled Arctic: Human-nature interactions across local to global scales as drivers of sustainability. [PDF]
Ambio, 2022 AbstractThe Arctic is an epicenter of complex environmental and socioeconomic change. Strengthened connections between Arctic and non-Arctic systems could threaten or enhance Arctic sustainability, but studies of external influences on the Arctic are scattered and fragmented in academic literature. Here, we review and synthesize how external influences

Engineering Pt Single-Atom Doped SeS<sub>2</sub>/Ti<sub>3</sub>CNT<sub>x</sub> MXene with Molecularly Imprinted Polymer for Precision Pancreatic Cancer Diagnostics: DFT and Molecular Dynamics Perspectives. [PDF]
Small MethodsA novel approach is developed to pancreatic cancer screening by targeting the cyclophili‐B (CypB)protein using a molecularly imprinted polymer with the electrode material containing Pt single‐atom‐doped/SeS2‐Ti3CNTx MXene. The quantification of CypB in pancreatic cancer tissues provide an insight into the association of CypB with pancreatic cancer ...

Design of agent-based model that simulates metacoupled food systems: Using avocado trade as an example [PDF]
Today, food systems are often complicated with multiple types of ac-tors with thousands kilometers distance between them. This complexity makes it difficult to capture actors’ behavior and their socio-ecological impacts near and far. In this poster, we apply the metacoupling framework – an analytical tool for examining socioeconomic and environmental ...

Waveguide Metacouplers for In-Plane Polarimetry [PDF]
Physical Review Applied, 2016 The state of polarization (SOP) is an inherent property of the vectorial nature of light and a crucial parameter in a wide range of remote sensing applications. Nevertheless, the SOP is rather cumbersome to probe experimentally, as conventional detectors only respond to the intensity of the light, hence loosing the phase information between orthogonal ...

Emodin, Physcion, and Crude Extract of Rhamnus sphaerosperma var. pubescens Induce Mixed Cell Death, Increase in Oxidative Stress, DNA Damage, and Inhibition of AKT in Cervical and Oral Squamous Carcinoma Cell Lines. [PDF]
Oxid Med Cell Longev, 2018 There have been few studies on the pharmacological properties of Rhamnus sphaerosperma var. pubescens, a native Brazilian species popularly known as “fruto‐de‐pombo.” The aim of this study was to investigate the scavenging capacity of emodin, physcion, and the ethanolic crude extract of Rhamnus sphaerosperma var.

Protective and antioxidant effects of a chalconoid from Pulicaria incisa on brain astrocytes. [PDF]
Oxid Med Cell Longev, 2013 Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson′s and Alzheimer′s diseases. Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cells in the brain, protect neurons from reactive oxygen species (ROS) and provide them with trophic support, such as glial‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF).

China's Environment on a Metacoupled Planet [PDF]
Annual Review of Environment and Resources, 2018 China has emerged as a global economic powerhouse after four decades of unprecedented growth. Such growth has generated many environmental challenges with enormous ecological, socioeconomic, and health consequences in China and beyond. Although the overall quality of air and water is starting to improve, both are still below national and international ...

Earth's Future, Volume 11, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 Abstract As the Earth's Third Pole and the Asian water tower, the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) plays a key role in global climate regulation and biodiversity maintenance. Living in harmony with nature is vital for local and global sustainable development. Current research on the conflicted or coordinated relationship between humans and nature on the QTP
