Single nucleotide polymorphism and expression of genes for immune competent cell proliferation and differentiation in radiation-exposed individuals by E. A. Blinova, V. S. Nikiforov, M. A. Yanishevskaya, A. A. Akleyev

“…The study involved people who had been chronically exposed due to releases of radioactive waste into the Techa River. It was observed that 60 years after the onset of radiation exposure changes in the transcription activity of the NFkB1 and PADI4 genes were registered in people with cumulative doses to RBM within the range 78–3510 mGy. …”

Comparison of Satellite-based PM2.5 Estimation from Aerosol Optical Depth and Top-of-atmosphere Reflectance by Heming Bai, Zhi Zheng, Yuanpeng Zhang, He Huang, Li Wang

“…In this study, satellite observations of TOA reflectance and AOD from the Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) onboard the Himawari-8 geostationary satellite in 2016 over Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and meteorological data are used to estimate hourly PM2.5 based on four different machine learning algorithms (i.e., random forest, extreme gradient boosting, gradient boosting regression, and support vector regression). …”

Climate change impacts on shoreline migration and community livelihood resilience: evidence from coastal Bangladesh by Md. Tariqul Islam, Md. Tariqul Islam, Md. Monabbir Hossain, Nur Mohammad Ha-Mim, Md. Zakir Hossain, Sujit Kumar Sikder

“…Historical data and more recent satellite remote sensing imagery analysis identified that the shrinking of the delta system has resulted from the migration of the shorelines at the mouth of the river system. Since 5,000 BP, it has been expanding towards the Bay of Bengal – meaning land gains at the coast. …”

Groundwater Exploration for Sustainable Development and Management in a Hard Rock Basin by Deepa Subramani, Pradeep Kamaraj

“…An attempt was made to use the geoelectrical resistivity method to classify the aquifer zones and ground lithology of the upper Manimuktha sub-basin (a hard rock basin) from the Vellar River in Tamil Nadu. It is more appropriate to compare the electrical conductivity to geophysical resistivity surveys in these areas since the conductivity of the subsurface layer is poor in arid and semiarid regions. …”

First record of the species Encyonema bonapartei Heudre, C.E.Wetzel & Ector (Cymbellales, Bacillariophyceae) in Serbia by Vasiljević Božica, Jakovljević Olga, Krizmanić Jelena, Heudre David, Zorić Katarina, Tubić Bojana, Paunović Momir

“…In 2021, an extensive hydrobiological survey in a mountainous part of southwestern Serbia led to the first finding of this taxon outside of France, i.e. in the Uvac Special Nature Reserve –in Lake Zlatar (Zlatarsko jezero) and in the Marić River (Marića reka). Detailed light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy observations of a large population recorded in Lake Zlatar confirmed the unique morphological characteristics of E. bonapartei, which is also the first record for the diatom flora of Serbia. …”
