Assessing the Effects of Climate Change and Land‐Use Changes on Extreme Discharge in the Western Watershed of Lake Urmia, Iran by Ghasem Farahmand, Behzad Hessari, Hossein Salehi

“…Furthermore, land‐use change assessments indicated that expanding orchards and irrigated and rain‐fed agricultural lands will significantly elevate future peak discharge, with differences exceeding 10 m3/s in sub‐basins like Nazlochay and Barandozchay, driven by reduced infiltration and increased runoff rates. Modeling with these tools confirmed that climate and land‐use changes synergistically alter flood dynamics, a pattern consistent with regional studies. …”

The Clinical and Pathological Characteristics of Patients with Proliferative Glomerulonephritis with Monoclonal Immunoglobulin Deposits by Tariku T. Gudura, Hanny Sawaf, Randy Ogbenna, Ali Mehdi, Leal Herlitz, Surafel K. Gebreselassie, Shane A. Bobart

“… Introduction: Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immunoglobin (Ig) deposits (PGNMID) is a rare form of kidney disease associated with low monoclonal protein detection rates and poor renal outcomes. The lack of effective therapy is partly due to limited data and understanding of its pathogenesis. …”

Experimental study on the dynamic properties of low-cement sludge solidified soil under long-term cyclic loading by Jiantao Lin, Wenjun Wang, Xiao Cheng, Haoqiang Pan

“…The test results revealed the following: (1) The cumulative deformation of the solidified soil exhibited either a “stable” or a “failure” pattern, with the transition governed by the critical dynamic load, which was strongly influenced by the cement content. (2) Increasing the cement content significantly enhanced the fatigue resistance of the solidified soil; when the content was increased from 4 to 6%, the fatigue life improved by up to 575%. (3) When the cement content exceeded 6%, the growth rates of both fatigue life and initial dynamic elastic modulus slowed markedly, indicating a clear phenomenon of diminishing marginal returns. …”

Amazon Rainforest Exchange of Carbon and Subcanopy Air Flow: Manaus LBA Site—A Complex Terrain Condition by Julio Tóta, David Roy Fitzjarrald, Maria A. F. da Silva Dias

“…We tested the hypothesis that horizontal drainage flow over this study area is significant and can affect the interpretation of the high carbon uptake rates reported by previous works at this site. A similar experimental design as the one by Tóta et al. (2008) was used with a network of wind, air temperature, and CO2 sensors above and below the forest canopy. …”
