Data-driven approach to spatiotemporal dynamic risk assessment of urban flooding based on shared socio-economic pathways by Wang, Mo, Chen, Furong, Zhang, Dongqing, Chen, Zijing, Su, Jin, Zhou, Shiqi, Li, Jianjun, Chen, Jintang, Li, Jiaying, Tan, Soon Keat

“…Under SSP126 scenario, nearly no change was predicted in the area with high flooding risk, with only increase of 1%, future urbanization hotspots associated with serious flooding risks will likely to be found on the fringe of the GBA's construction areas, in line with the extent of construction land expansion. The finding of this study will shed a comprehensive insight into the identification of spatial and temporal distribution of urban flooding vulnerability to facilitate the exploration of flood mitigation measures associated with dynamic changes in urban land use.…”

Air-cooled slag derived from municipal solid waste (MSW) and sewage sludge as coarse aggregate for sustainable construction by Tan, Jun Ying

“…In conclusion, this study advocates for the viability of sewage sludge slag as a substitute for gravel in coarse aggregate applications and MSW slag as a feasible alternative to sand for fine aggregate applications. These findings present a compelling case for a more environmentally sustainable approach to concrete production.…”

The opioid receptor influences circadian rhythms in human keratinocytes through the β-arrestin pathway by Bigliardi, Paul, Junnarkar, Seetanshu, Markale, Chinmay, Lo, Sydney, Bigliardi, Elena, Kalyuzhny, Alex, Ong, Sheena, Dunn, Ray, Wahli, Walter, Bigliardi-Qi, Mei

“…Through the ChIP assay, we determined that Met-Enkephalin enhances β-arrestin-1 binding to acetylated H4 in the PER2 promoter. In summary, our findings suggest that DOPr activation leads to a phase shift in PER2 expression via β-arrestin-1-facilitated chromatin remodeling. …”

The role of ports in supply chain disruption management by Loh, Hui Shan

“…This research fills the literature gaps by providing a risk assessment of port-related threats that have adverse effects on supply chain continuity from the perspectives of port operators and port users. Its findings highlight the areas that port management should focus on as well as the measures of managing PSCD holistically through strategic internal and external collaborative efforts.…”

Global response of Vibrio cholerae to predation by heterotrophic protists by Hu, Jie

“…This data may indicate that small molecules, such as amino acids in the protozoal supernatant may act as a trigger for biofilm formation by V. cholerae. These findings will serve as a stepping-stone for further detailed understanding of the interactions between V. cholerae and protozoa, which in turn will lead to a better understanding of how pathogenic bacteria evolve in the environment.…”

Three physiological responses in fathers and non-fathers’ to vocalizations of typically developing infants and infants with Autism Spectrum Disorder by Esposito, Gianluca, Valenzi, Stefano, Islam, Tanvir, Bornstein, Marc H.

“…Fathers were calmer and acted more promptly than non-fathers while listening to typical cries, perhaps because the fathers had more experience in caring for crying infants. These findings point to similarities and differences in fathers’ and non-fathers’ physiological responsiveness to cries of children with ASD and might guide specific intervention programs for parents of children at risk of ASD.…”

Lipid-mediated resolution of inflammation and survival in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by Yildiz, O, Hunt, GP, Schroth, J, Dhillon, G, Spargo, TP, Al-Chalabi, A, Koks, S, Turner, MR, Shaw, PJ, Henson, SM, Iacoangeli, A, Malaspina, A

“…Higher mononuclear cell expression of resolvin receptors is a predictor of longer survival. These findings suggest a lipid-mediated neuroprotective response that could be harnessed to develop novel therapeutic strategies and biomarkers for ALS.…”

Postpartum-specific vital sign reference ranges by Green, L, Pullon, R, Mackillop, L, Gerry, S, Birks, J, Salvi, D, Davidson, S, Loerup, L, Tarassenko, L, Mossop, J, Edwards, C, Gauntlett, R, Harding, K, Knight, M, Chappell, L, Watkinson, P

“…</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong> We present widely relevant, postpartum, day-specific reference ranges which may facilitate early detection of abnormal blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and temperature during the puerperium. Our findings could inform construction of an evidence-based modified obstetric early warning system to better identify unwell postpartum women.…”
