ABSTRACT Many insects harbour microbial communities that can profoundly influence the biology of their host. Yet, the relative contribution of random exposure (i.e., stochastic) events and deterministic ecological factors in shaping these communities remains unclear for most taxa.

Arctic shipping under global change: A case study of offshore oil exports
We explore impacts of sea ice thinning and evolutions in the energy sector on future use of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) versus the Suez Canal Route (SCR), using a case study of shipping oil extracted from the offshore Russian Arctic to China. We combine

ABSTRACT Introduction Currently, there are no available fast‐acting agents to control the ventricular rate (VR) during atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes that can be self‐administered by patients on an as‐needed basis without medical supervision. Here, we aim to evaluate the effect of intranasal etripamil on VR in patients treating presumed paroxysmal ...

Abstract Mountain grasslands are vital ecosystems providing critical services such as carbon sequestration, water regulation, and biodiversity conservation. However, these ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change and human activities. This study evaluates vegetation dynamics in global mountain grasslands (2000–2021) using remote sensing

Open‐Graded Friction Course (OGFC) mixtures for flexible pavements. ABSTRACT Open‐Graded Friction Course (OGFC) mixtures in flexible pavements are known for their efficient drainage characteristics, but concerns exist regarding their structural weaknesses and short lifespans. This study investigates methods to improve the mechanical performance of OGFC

ABSTRACT Unarguably, malware and their variants have metamorphosed into objects of attack and cyber warfare. These issues have directed research focus to modeling infrastructural settings and infection scenarios, analyzing propagation mechanisms, and conducting studies that highlight optimized remedial measures.

Resilience Assessment for the Northern Sea Route Based on a Fuzzy Bayesian Network
The safety level of the northern sea route (NSR) is a common concern for the related stakeholders. To address the risks triggered by disruptions initiating from the harsh environment and human factors, a comprehensive framework is proposed based on the ...

ABSTRACT Background Cellulite is a common aesthetic condition of the skin, predominantly affecting more than 90% of postpubertal females. Energy‐based devices (EBDs) have demonstrated efficacy in treating a variety of dermatologic concerns. A controlled thermal injury to the dermis can stimulate remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM), leading to ...

Abstract The Canadian Lake Ice Model has been adapted and distributed at a high spatial resolution (∼50 m) to simulate Lake Ice Thickness (LIT) and phenology across small to medium‐sized lakes in this study. The model was applied to simulate the spatial variability of LIT, Ice Cover Duration (ICD), and Lake Ice Phenology across 500 predominantly small ...
