The Formation and Features of Massive Vacuole Induced by Nutrient Deficiency in Human Embryonic Kidney Cells by Dakang Sun, Xinye An, Yanli Cheng

“…We found that massive vacuoles could form through two primary mechanisms: the accumulation of small vacuoles into larger vacuoles or the fusion of homogeneous or heterogeneous vacuoles. Further analysis revealed that the membranes of massive vacuoles, regardless of origin, were composed of a bilayer membrane structure. …”

A copula-based multivariate flood frequency analysis under climate change effects by Marzieh Khajehali, Hamid R. Safavi, Mohammad Reza Nikoo, Mohammad Reza Najafi, Reza Alizadeh-Sh

“…The results show that a heterogeneous asymmetric copula offers more flexibility to capture varying degrees of asymmetry across different parts of the distribution, leading to more accurate modeling results compared to homogeneous asymmetric and symmetric copulas. Also it has been found that climate change can influence the trivariate joint return periods, particularly in the far future. …”
