A Nutritional Paradigm to Impede Cataract Initiation: A Narrative Review of Emerging Perspective on Nutraceuticals

open access: yesFuture Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
By lowering oxidative stress and lens protein aggregation, nutraceuticals enriched with antioxidants may reduce the development of senile cataracts, demonstrating their potential as supplemental, non‐pharmacological cataract preventive methods. ABSTRACT This review explores the emerging evidence to accommodate the developing requirement of non ...

A Comparative Study on the Irrigation Suitability of Kerala's Rivers Using Fuzzy AHP and Conventional Methods

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food security in Kerala depends on effective irrigation, but poor‐quality irrigation water poses threats such as salinity, sodicity and reduced soil productivity. Although past assessments have been localised, this study presents the first comprehensive, statewide evaluation of irrigation water suitability across 44 major rivers in Kerala.

Experimental Assessment of the Effects of Substrate Choice on the Duration of Chemical Signals in Fecal Scent‐Marks of Free‐Ranging Iberian Wolves

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication, typically based on feces, urine, and glandular secretions, often deposited as substrate scent marks, plays a key role in social organization and communication among many mammals, especially carnivores. This study assesses experimentally whether the type of substrate chosen for fecal deposition and the temperature ...

Heat and Cold Waves in Brazil: An ERA5‐Based Analysis of Trends and Seasonality (1980–2024)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study uses ERA5 reanalysis data to assess changes in extreme heat and cold events across Brazil from 1980 to 2024. Results reveal a sharp increase in heatwave frequency and a general decline in coldwave occurrences, though regional variations are substantial.
