Effective rain rate model for analysing overestimated rain fade in short millimetre-wave terrestrial links due to distance factor by Asma Ali Budalal, Ibraheem Shayea, Md. Rafiqul Islam, Jafri Din, Abdulsamad Ebrahim Yahya, Yousef Ibrahim Daradkeh, Marwan Hadri Azmi

“…One aspect that may partially justify this significant increase in Reff is the fact that the ITU-R P.838-3 model does not consider the impact of the raindrop size distribution (DSD)for tropical climates when predicting rain attenuation at a short-range mm-wave link. …”

Influence of Partially Substituting Wheat Flour with Tiger Nut Flour on the Physical Properties, Sensory Quality, and Consumer Acceptance of Tea, Sugar, and Butter Bread by Nazir Kizzie-Hayford, Joshua Akanson, Jerry Ampofo-Asiama, Ernest Ekow Abano

“…However, avenues for incorporating tiger nuts into food remain underexplored, especially in several tropical countries where the plant grows well. The current study investigated the effects of partially substituting wheat flour (WF) with tiger nut flour (TNF) on the physical and sensory properties of different bread types to evaluate the more amenable system for tiger nut incorporation. …”

Humification and Humic Acid Composition of Suspended Soil in Oligotrophous Environments in South Vietnam by E. V. Abakumov, O. A. Rodina, A. K. Eskov

“…Our study of the structural composition of humic substances in suspended soils was conducted with an aim of evaluating the humification rates and structural composition of humic acids in the suspended soil in tropical forests of South Vietnam. Soil samples from three selected areas were investigated: the soil under phorophytes (mineral soil presented by samples of topsoil of the typical dry savanna landscape) and two soils from epiphytous formations. …”

Burden trends and future predictions for hypertensive heart disease attributable to non-optimal temperatures in the older adults amidst climate change, 1990–2021 by Can Xu, Xinyu Nie, Rui Xu, Ge Han, Dongjin Wang

“…However, heat-related HHD burden demonstrated a marked upward trend, projected to continue rising over the next two decades, particularly in low-income and tropical regions. Gender-specific analysis revealed that cold-related HHD burden was more pronounced in women, while heat-related burden was notably higher in men. …”

Pseudovibriamides from Pseudovibrio marine sponge bacteria promote flagellar motility via transcriptional modulation by Yitao Dai, Vitor Lourenzon, Laura P. Ióca, Dua Al-Smadi, Lydia Arnold, Ian McIntire, Roberto G. S. Berlinck, Alessandra S. Eustáquio

“…Finally, we observed many differentially expressed genes (up to 29% of the total gene number) indicating that pseudovibriamides have a global effect on transcription that goes beyond motility.IMPORTANCEMarine sponges are found throughout the oceans from tropical coral reefs to polar sea floors, playing crucial roles in marine ecosystems. …”
