Assessment of Indoor Air Pollution through Fine Particle Capturing Potential and Accumulation on Plant Foliage in Delhi, India by Ankita Katoch, Umesh Chandra Kulshrestha

“…Seasonal variations in dust deposition indicated that it was highest in the winter season and lowest in the monsoon season. Chemical profiling of the deposited dust marked that dust was less basic at MH as compared to DH and Ca2+ was ubiquitously the most abundant cation at both sites whereas Cl– and SO42– were the most abundant anions at DH and MH, respectively. …”

Mechanical Mastication of Utah Juniper Encroaching Sagebrush Steppe Increases Inorganic Soil N by Kert R. Young, Bruce A. Roundy, Dennis L. Eggett

“…Bare interspaces had 3.0–3.4 times higher inorganic N than interspaces covered with masticated trees during late-summer through winter (P<0.01). Soil fertility changes associated with mastication were not considered sufficient to favor establishment of annual over perennial grasses, and we expect both to increase in cover following juniper mastication.…”

Apple gene pool use, sources and donors of economically valuable traits by E. N. Sedov

“…We recommend sources and donors for apple breeding for commercially valuable traits (winter hardiness, columnar tree type, precocity and high productivity, long fruit storability, high resistance and immunity to scab), as well as donors of diploid gametes for triploid cultivar breeding, sources and donors of high contents of sugars, titrated acids and biologically active substances (ascorbic acid and P-active substances) in fruits.The necessity of selection and breeding of complex sources and donors possessing two and more valuable traits (immunity to scab and tetraploidy, immunity to scab and the columnar tree type, etc.) is discussed.…”

Fermented foods affect the seasonal stability of gut bacteria in an Indian rural population by Kumaraswamy Jeyaram, Leo Lahti, Sebastian Tims, Hans G. H. J. Heilig, Antonie H. van Gelder, Willem M. de Vos, Hauke Smidt, Erwin G. Zoetendal

“…Here, we assess the gut microbiota and metabolite composition of 78 healthy Indian agrarian individuals who differ in the intake of fermented milk and soybean products by seasonal sampling during hot-humid summer, autumn and dry winter. Here we show that, seasonal shifts between the Prevotella- and Bifidobacterium/Ruminococcus-driven community types, or ecological states, and associated fatty acid derivatives, with a bimodal change in Bacteroidota community structure during summer, particularly in fermented milk consumers. …”

Statistical Prediction of the South China Sea Surface Height Anomaly by Caixia Shao, Weimin Zhang, Chunjian Sun, Xinmin Chai, Zhimin Wang

“…Results indicate that the valid forecast time of SCS SSHA of the statistical model is about 7 months, and the predictability of SCS SSHA in Spring and Autumn is stronger than that in Summer and Winter. In addition, the prediction skill of SCS SSHA has remarkable decadal variability, with better phase forecast in 1997–2007.…”

Isolation of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 Strain from Fecal Samples of Zoo Animal by Aseel Mohammed Hamzah, Aseel Mohammed Hussein, Jenan Mahmoud Khalef

“…Variation in the occurrence of E. coli O157:H7-positive petting zoo animals was observed, with animals being culture positive only in the summer months but not in the spring, autumn, or winter. E. coli O157:H7 isolates were distinguished by agglutination with E. coli O157:H7 latex reagent (Oxoid), identified among the isolates, which showed that multiple E. coli strains were isolated from one petting zoo animal, in which a single animal simultaneously shed multiple E. coli strains; E. coli O157:H7 was isolated only by selective enrichment culture of 2 g of petting zoo animal feces. …”
