Contribution of channel geometry adjustments to stage variance based on rating-curves in the main stream of the Lancang–Mekong river

Scientific Reports
Extensive dam development and climate change have altered seasonal stage variation patterns, which are critical to residents in the riparian zone along the Lancang–Mekong River.

Session:management of drainage near source – disconnection/minimise surface water entering public drainage [PDF]

, 2008
Many combined sewer networks are currently constrained due to lack of capacity. Surface water entering the network may have an impact on the local environment by causing additional spills from Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) and flooding events. With the

Incompatible Liquids in Confined Conditions [PDF]

, 2014
In applications involving organic vapour, the performance of high surface area carbons is often challenged by water vapour in the atmosphere. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS), through its ability to distinguish between different components by means ...

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Impacts of climate change on agricultural water resources and adaptation on the North China Plain

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2017
Climate change is having a considerable impact on the availability of water resources for agricultural production on the North China Plain (NCP), where the shortage of water is currently disturbing the stability and sustainability of agricultural ...

Introduction to Issues and Technology in Water Contaminants [PDF]

, 2020
About 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. Although the quantity of water on earth is vast, most of this does not fit for direct human consumption, particularly the saline water.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Surface Water

AbstractThis chapter assesses surface water changes due to climate change and human activities, by particularly examining runoff and streamflow. Changes in the hydrological cycle due to climate change and human intervention can lead to diverse environmental impacts and risks.

Impacts of Climate Change and Human Activities on Runoff and Sediment Load of the Xiliugou Basin in the Upper Yellow River

Advances in Meteorology, 2015
Using data of temperature, wind, precipitation, water discharge, and sediment load, the changes in runoff and sediment load of the Xiliugou basin in the upper Yellow River were investigated and the contributions of climate change and human activities to ...

Water-repellent soil and its relationship to granularity, surface roughness and hydrophobicity: a materials science view [PDF]

, 2005
Considerable soil water repellency has been observed at a wide range of locations worldwide. The soil exhibiting water repellency is found within the upper part of the soil profile.
