Interannual variations of evapotranspiration and its response to different drought types in a boreal larch forest in China by Zhipeng Xu, Xiuling Man, Yiping Hou, Tijiu Cai, Liangliang Duan

“…Interestingly, the precipitation regime with larger rainfall events (> 15 mm/day) was mostly related to the IAV of ET. These findings enhance our understanding of the responses of ET to multiple drought types and the intricate relationship between ET and P, highlighting that precipitation patterns due to climate change could potentially increase the complexity of environmental control on ET variations in boreal forests.…”

Decreased Memory-Related Regional Cerebral Perfusion in Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea with a Mild Cognitive Impairment During Wakefulness by Yan X, Liu W, Li D, Huang Q, Wu J, Zhang Q

“…In the CI group, rCBF values in the bilateral inferior temporal (right, p = 0.025; left, p = 0.005) and left lingual gyri (p = 0.018) were positively associated with the delayed memory scores, and rCBF values in the left inferior temporal gyrus positively correlated with the attention scores (p = 0.011).Conclusion: Regions with abnormal perfusion in the NCI and CI groups were mostly memory-related. Blood perfusion in the bilateral inferior temporal and left lingual gyri decreased in the following order: GS > OSA-NCI > OSA-CI. …”

Cerium oxide nanoparticles in vivo distribution and transformation behavior mediate intestinal transit function by Chunli Lei, Rui Liang, Bingxu Cheng, Le Yue, Xuesong Cao, Chuanxi Wang, Zhenyu Wang, Baoshan Xing

“…This work showed the distribution in vivo, and the potential biochemical mechanisms in Ce3 + /Ce4+ electron conversion mediated the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the co-involvement of intestinal microbes after CeO2 NPs (10 mg/kg·bw/day, 28 days) continuous ingestion in mice. CeO2 NPs can be mostly excreted in feces (51.49 %), yet the rest existed at different levels in all tissues, and with the highest levels in digestive tissues (stomach (36.78 %) and intestine (4.44 %)). …”

Uncovering patterns of cattle intensification across South America’s dry diagonal by Tobias Kuemmerle, Pedro D Fernández, Matthias Baumann, Jamie Burton

“…We identified 253 large, industrialized feedlots and more than 3200 medium-sized concentrated animal feeding operations—together containing an estimated 13 million cattle head—and more than 4000 supplementary feeding sites on pastures. Feedlots were found mostly in the Cerrado ( n = 141), followed by Chaco ( n = 93), and were less frequent in the Chiquitano and Caatinga regions. …”
