Water Governance Under International Pressure: Policy Narratives, Food Security, Scarcity, and the Politics of Survival in Iran

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water governance is increasingly influenced by a paradox at the nexus of environmental scarcity and food security. Escalating water scarcity crises coincide with geopolitical disruptions that have exposed the fragility of global food supply chains, prompting states to expand domestic food production at the expense of water conservation ...

Antiseizure potency and neurotoxicity of the enantiomers of fenfluramine and norfenfluramine in rats and correlations with their concentrations in plasma and brain

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Based on the evidence that fenfluramine‐induced anorexia, weight loss, and cardiovascular toxicity are primarily mediated by the d‐enantiomers of fenfluramine and its metabolite norfenfluramine, we investigated pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic correlations for the active enantiomers of fenfluramine and norfenfluramine in the rat ...

Hybrid Simulation–Machine Learning Surrogates for Coordinate‐Based Solar and Wind Energy Yield Assessment in Iraq: A Streamlit Decision‐Support Tool

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates climatic simulations with machine learning to predict solar and wind energy across Iraq. Results show Random Forest excels for solar (R2 = 0.98) and neural networks for wind (R2 = 0.97), enabling a practical web tool for renewable energy planning. ABSTRACT Driven by the global shift away from fossil fuels, solar and wind resources

Warm‐wet transition restructures arid lake microbiomes and functional potential

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study summarizes how a long‐term warm‐dry to warm‐wet transition restructures microbiomes and functional potential in Lake Bosten, an arid lake in northwestern China. Warm‐wet hydroclimatic change increased water level and hydrological connectivity, while decreasing salinity and total nitrogen.

Farmers' Soil–Water Management Practices and Perspectives on Soil Salinization in Mirab Abaya District, Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a critical threat, impacting 20% of the world's irrigated lands and jeopardizing food security. In Ethiopia's Mirab Abaya district of the Gamo Zone, unsustainable irrigation methods exacerbate this issue. This paper examines local farmers' soil–water management systems and their awareness of salinization, aiming to educate

Reduced Food Availability Amplifies Behavioral Depression and Impairs Locomotor Performance After Immune Challenge in Xenopus laevis

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Food restricition amplifies the reduction in voluntary locomotion after immune challenge in Xenopus laevis, ilustrating the energetic trade‐off between immunity and performance. ABSTRACT Mounting an immune response and locomotor activity are energetically costly processes that can generate trade‐offs affecting energy allocation, muscle performance, and
