Comparative analysis of soil thermal conductivity in the permafrost regions of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau and the Arctic by Wenhao Liu, Ren Li, Tonghua Wu, Guojie Hu, Xiaodong Wu, Shenning Wang, Junjie Ma, Jianzong Shi, Shengfeng Tang, Xiaofan Zhu, Yongping Qiao

“…The mean STC values in the QTP permafrost region during the thawing period are significantly higher than those during the freezing period. (2) STC of the QTP exhibits a fluctuating pattern at different depths, in contrast, the average STC value in the Arctic increases steadily with depth, with an increase rate of approximately 0.005 Wm−1 K−1/cm. (3) The analysis of influencing factors revealed that although moisture content, bulk density, and porosity are the primary drivers of regional variations in STC between the QTP and the Arctic permafrost, moisture elements in the QTP region have a greater influence on STC and the effect is stronger with increasing depth and during the freeze–thaw cycles. …”

l-[5-11C]Glutamine PET imaging noninvasively tracks dynamic responses of glutaminolysis in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis by Yiding Zhang, Lin Xie, Masayuki Fujinaga, Yusuke Kurihara, Masanao Ogawa, Katsushi Kumata, Wakana Mori, Tomomi Kokufuta, Nobuki Nengaki, Hidekatsu Wakizaka, Rui Luo, Feng Wang, Kuan Hu, Ming-Rong Zhang

“…Here, we developed a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging platform using l-[5-11C]glutamine ([11C]Gln) and evaluated its efficacy in NASH mice undergoing metabolic therapy with bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ethyl sulfide (BPTES), a glutaminase 1 (GLS1) inhibitor that intervenes in the first and rate-limiting step of glutaminolysis. PET imaging with [11C]Gln effectively delineated the pharmacokinetics of l-glutamine, capturing its temporal-spatial pattern of action within the body. …”

Spatiotemporal Evolution of NPP and Its Influencing Factors in Kunming City Based on the OPGD Model by ZHANG Zhongzhi, ZHAO Junsan, CHEN Guoping, WANG Lin, LIN Yilin, ZHANG Dandan

“…［Results］ 1) The annual mean distribution of vegetation NPP in Kunming City was spatially and temporally heterogeneous, with a distribution pattern higher in the west and lower in the east, and increased significantly at an average annual growth rate of 7.08 g/(m2·a) (C-based). 2) The fragmentation degree of the vegetation landscape increased; the fragmentation degree was mismatched with vegetation NPP in terms of space, and it had a significant negative effect on the spatial and temporal distribution of vegetation NPP. 3) Changes in vegetation NPP were the result of the combined effects of climatic, anthropogenic and topographic factors; the kernel Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (kNDVI), land surface temperature, and vegetation landscape fragmentation had stronger explanatory power than factors such as temperature, precipitation, and slope; and the interactions between the factors better explained the spatial and temporal changes in vegetation NPP. …”
