Seasonality and intensity of airborne Boletus-type spores in relation to land use and weather pattern by Magdalena Wójcik, Idalia Kasprzyk

“…Abstract Forests are a natural source of airborne bolete spores. The timing of sporulation and its intensity as well as the dispersal of airborne spores and in consequence their concentrations depend in particular on the type of land use determining the availability of matter on which they develop and on meteorological factors. …”

Development of a New Inflatable Controlled Anchor System and Experimental Study of pull-out Capacity by Xuexiang Yang, Shanpo Jia, Caoxuan Wen, Yuanjie Liu

“…When the inflation pressure reaches 0.4 MPa, the ultimate bearing capacity of the inflatable controlled anchor is 2.08 times that of the traditional grouting anchor. Through comparison with the experimental curves, the results of model calculation indicate that the proposed anchor-soil interface constitutive equation can describe the pull-out characteristics of the inflatable controlled anchor. …”

Unsteady Squeezing Flow and Heat Transfer Analysis of Magnetohydrodynamic Third-grade Nanofluid between Two Disks Embedded in a Porous Medium subjected to Thermal Radiation using H... by Gbeminiyi Musibau Sobamowo, Ahmed Amoo Yinusa, Mufutau Adekojo Waheed, Antonio Marcos de Oliveira Siqueira

“… The non-linear behaviours of non-Newtonian fluids under various flow conditions continue to arouse research interests in recent times. In this work, nonlinear analysis of unsteady squeezing flow and heat transfer of a third-grade nanofluid between two parallel disks embedded in a porous medium under the influences of thermal radiation and temperature jump boundary conditions is studied using homotopy perturbation method. …”

The role of insulin signaling with FOXO and FOXK transcription factors by Masaji Sakaguchi

“…Insulin signaling plays a role in supporting higher activity during periods of sufficient food supply and in promoting survival during times of insufficient food supply. The insulin receptor depends on the tyrosine phosphatase feedback of insulin signaling to maintain adipocyte insulin responsiveness. α4, a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), has been shown to play a crucial role in modulating insulin signaling pathways by regulating the phosphorylation status of key proteins involved in these pathways. …”

The Importance of Soil Seed Bank Function in Studies of Grassland Degradation by Chao Chen, Wei He, John Scullion, Mike Wilkinson

“…We consider that soil responses to sward degradation are likely to exacerbate rather than mitigate impacts on soil seed bank function, leading to a spiral of system degradation in the absence of timely and targeted intervention. We propose improvements for future studies seeking to diagnose and quantify grassland degradation.…”
