Blue carbon storage and environmental influences in mangroves, Puerto Rico
Abstract Mangrove ecosystems are important coastal carbon sinks, with soil carbon storage strongly influenced by site‐specific hydrological, sedimentary, and climatic conditions. This study quantified soil carbon stocks in two mangrove systems in Puerto Rico—La Parguera and Laguna Grande—and evaluated the relative influence of hydrology, sediment ...

Long‐Term Stress Adaptation as a Highly‐Conserved Key Factor in Yeast Aging
This study shows that long‐term, but not short‐term, stress exposure triggers molecular changes in yeast that mirror established hallmarks of aging, including altered proteostasis, epigenetic shifts, and reduced lifespan. These changes are reversible upon stress removal, and the genes involved are conserved across all domains of life. ABSTRACT Aging is

Personal Dosimetry Enhancement for Underground Workplaces
Personal dosimetry for underground workers mainly concerns measurement of the concentration of radon (and its daughters) and the correct application of the data in dose calculation, using a biokinetic model for lung dosimetry. A conservative approach for

ABSTRACT Deciphering the time milestones of clay formation is crucial for modeling the evolution of major geological systems near the Earth's surface. In the present study, kaolinite samples collected along four vertical profiles within a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol soil toposequence near São Gabriel da Cachoeira, NW Amazon Basin (Brazil) are dated using ...
