Global water scarcity including surface water quality and expansions of clean water technologies

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Water scarcity threatens people in various regions, and has predominantly been studied from a water quantity perspective only. Here we show that global water scarcity is driven by both water quantity and water quality issues, and quantify expansions in ...

Water footprint of nations amplified by scarcity in the Belt and Road Initiative

Heliyon, 2023
The growing water scarcity due to international trade poses a serious threat to global sustainability. Given the intensified international trade throughout the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), this paper tracks the virtual water trade and water footprint ...

Recent trends in emerging greywater management in India: An overview

Desalination and Water Treatment
Water, one of the most essential resources, is intrinsic to sustaining life. However, less than 5 % of fresh water is available in usable form. Over the past few decades, significant changes in water consumption patterns have severely impacted the ...

A synergistic framework for dynamic water scarcity assessment: integrated blue and green water

Journal of Water and Climate Change
Dynamic assessment of water scarcity utilising blue and green water can enhance water resource management. The traditional water scarcity assessment mainly considers blue water, ignoring green water, for static evaluation.

Prospecting the protein design landscape

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review outlines the current state of various protein design approaches. We discuss the current possibilities enabled by recently released tools, highlight future avenues to pursue in protein design, and underscore the crucial role of key databases and resources for successful protein design workflows.

Water depletion: An improved metric for incorporating seasonal and dry-year water scarcity into water risk assessments

Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2016
We present an improved water-scarcity metric we call water depletion, calculated as the fraction of renewable water consumptively used for human activities. We employ new data from the WaterGAP3 integrated global water resources model to illustrate water

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created

Water Management: A Solution to Water Scarcity in Pakistan

JISR Management and Social Sciences & Economics, 2011
With the increase in population of our country and changing geo-political landscape, the available water resources are fast depleting. We also understand that without water, there can be no life as we see in this physical world.

Spatial heterogeneity of hotspot mutations and clonal relatedness in ovarian endometrioid carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Spatially resolved analysis revealed heterogeneous distributions of selected cancer‐associated mutations within ovarian endometrioid carcinomas. Shared mutations between paired endometrial and ovarian tumors supported clonal relatedness. These findings highlight the value of sampling multiple tumor regions when interpreting molecular profiles ...
