RETRACTED: Biodiversity Loss with Habitat and Risk of New Diseases by Darshit Ram

“…Here, we present a theoretical framework that exploits the species–area relationship (SAR) to link habitat biodiversity and fragmentation with the exposure to novel infectious diseases.By exploiting ecological theory, it is possible to identify high-risk areas for risk mitigation and mitigation measures that may simultaneously reduce risk and conserve biodiversity, a problem that has previously been described as both conceptually and practically challenging.…”

Green and traditional one-pot synthesis techniques for bioactive quinoline derivatives: A review by Manav C. Parmar, Bonny Y. Patel

“…The review also highlights a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities of quinoline derivatives, including antibacterial, antiviral, antidiabetic, anticancer properties and so on. SAR studies show that adding EDGs (-CH3, –OCH3, –OH) and EWGs (-Cl, –F, –NO2, –CF3) can enhance electronic properties, lipophilicity, and receptor-binding affinities. …”

In perennial allergic rhinitis, RQLQ is improved similarly by Azelastine 0.15 and mometasone furoate by Jean Bousquet, MD, Ludger Klimek, MD, Hans-Christian Kuhl, PhD, Duc Tung Nguyen, MD, Rajesh Kumar Ramalingam, MD, G. Walter Canonica, MD, William E. Berger, MD

“…Some double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have shown that Azelastine (Aze) high dose (0.15%) was effective in seasonal (SAR) and perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR). However, there was no long-term comparison between Aze 0.15% and intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) on safety and quality of life in perennial allergic rhinitis.An open-label, active-controlled, parallel-group one-year study comparing mometasone furoate and Aze 0.15% in adults assessed safety over 1 year. …”

Vegetation Classification in a Mountain–Plain Transition Zone in the Sichuan Basin, China by Wenqian Bai, Zhengwei He, Yan Tan, Guy M. Robinson, Tingyu Zhang, Xueman Wang, Li He, Linlong Li, Shuang Wu

“…This study utilized terrain data and Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery to extract topographic, spectral, texture, and SAR features as well as the vegetation index. By combining feature sets and applying feature elimination algorithms, the classification performance of one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D-CNNs), Random Forest (RF), and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) was evaluated to determine the optimal feature combinations and methods. …”
