Camels as a Climate‐Resilient Linchpin for Sustainable Development in Global Drylands

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Camels represent a significant, yet underutilized, asset for advancing integrated sustainable development in the world's expanding drylands. Previous reviews have examined camels' physiology, milk composition, or pastoral systems in isolation; this review examines their potential as a climate‐resilient linchpin for food systems by synthesizing

A Modified Hierarchical Vision Transformer for Soil Moisture Retrieval From CYGNSS Data

open access: yesWater Resources Research
This research introduces a new deep learning (DL) framework, multi‐head self‐attention‐aided vision Transformer (MSA‐ViT), for soil moisture (SM) retrieval using Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) data. We first assess the sensitivity of

Discovery of structural and functional transition sites for membrane-penetrating activity of sheep myeloid antimicrobial peptide-18

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptides have an extended and/or unstructured conformation in aqueous solutions but fold into ordered conformations, such as the α-helical structure, when interacting with cellular membranes. These structural transitions can be

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.

Oxaziridines: Versatile Reagents in Modern Organic Synthesis

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Being capable of transferring an O atom and N‐group/atom, oxaziridines are considered multitasking agents. These are employed for diverse organic transformations, such as epoxidation of olefins, α‐ and γ‐hydroxylation/amination of carbonyl compounds, oxidation of sulfides, [3+2]cycloaddition with unsaturated systems.

Evaluation of the Adequate Radiopacity of Cavity Lining/Base and Core Build‐Up Light Cured Composite Resins

open access: yesAustralian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study aimed to compare the radiopacity of composite resins (CR) used as lining, base, and core‐build up materials with enamel and dentine and evaluate their compliance with ISO 4049. Methods Specimens of 1, 2, and 3 mm thicknesses; (n = 6) were fabricated from 13 low‐viscosity and 10 regular‐viscosity CRs.

Validation of SMAP Soil Moisture at Terrestrial National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) Sites Show Potential for Soil Moisture Retrieval in Forested Areas

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
Soil moisture influences forest health, fire occurrence and extent, and insect and pathogen impacts, creating a need for regular, globally extensive soil moisture measurements that can only be achieved by satellite-based sensors, such as NASA's ...
