Restoration of Water Storage Potential in a Degraded Dry Dipterocarp Forest with Enrichment Planting of Three Needle Pine (Pinus kesiya Royle ex Gordon), Northern Thailand

Environment and Natural Resources Journal, 2021
The research assessed water storage in a dry dipterocarp forest (DDF) with enriched 34-year-old pine planting and the role of pine. Plant surveys were carried out using 10, 40×40 m2plots, and data were obtained by measuring tree stem girths and heights.

ABL kinase‐dependent phosphorylation of SH proteins promotes their direct interaction with CRK family SH2 domains

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

Dynamic Allocation of Critical Chain Buffers for Multi-objective Optimization and Project Schedule Risk Management

International Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems
Considering duration, cost, and quality constraints, this study develops a multi-objective optimization model for project scheduling. The framework employs trapezoidal fuzzy numbers to characterize activity durations and a bell-shaped function to define ...

Application Research of Ground-Penetrating Radar in the Quality Inspection of Concrete Anti-seepage Panels [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2019
If the sand-free cushion of concrete anti-seepage panels of reservoir is void, it will cause local instability or even crack and collapse of the panel, which will lead to large leakage of reservoir and affect the safe operation of the project.

Seasonal Amplitude of Water Storage Variations of the Yangtze–Huai Plain Lake Group: Implicaion for Floodwater Storage Capacity

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Lakes are of significant importance in regulating floods and providing water sources. The seasonal water storage variations for the plain lake group in the Yangtze–Huai River Basin (YHRB) are significant for alleviating flood pressure and regulating ...

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

3D Alk‐MXene@Fe3O4 as Cathode Additive for Rechargeable Lithium−Sulfur Batteries

Advanced Energy & Sustainability Research, 2022
Lithium−sulfur battery (LSB) is one of the most promising next‐generation batteries due to its high energy density and low cost. However, the serious shuttle effect, large volume change, and poor conductivity have hindered their commercialization. Herein,

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.
