Europe has the world's most extensive network of conservation areas. Conservation areas are selected without taking into account the effects of climate change. How effectively would such areas conserve biodiversity under climate change? We assess the effectiveness of protected areas and the Natura 2000 network in conserving a large proportion of European plant and terrestrial vertebrate species...

A total of 13 short DNA sequences of quality control strains (MCC 2052, MCC 2077, MCC 2078, MCC 2080, MCC 2309, MCC 2322, MCC 2408, MCC 2409, MCC 2412, MCC 2413, MCC 2415, MCC 2483 and MCC 2515) were retrieved from NCBI BioSample database and generated quick response (QR) codes for sequences. 16S rRNA was used for creation of Chaose Game representation (CGR), Chaose Game Representation of Frequ...

The reaction mechanisms for K (1385) photoproduction from the reaction γp → K+ 0(1385) in the resonance energy region are investigated in a hadronic model. Both contributions from N and resonances of masses around 2 GeV as given in the Review of Particle Data Group and by the quark model predictions are included. The Lagrangians for describing the decays of these resonances into K (1385) are co...

Near-infrared measurements of glucose in human plasma are performed using a custom, rapid, high-throughput filter-based spectrometer covering a spectral range between 2080 and 2315 nm. Quality of the measured glucose signals is quantified through the use of two figures of merit: selectivity and limit of detection. Selectivity measures the uniqueness of the glucose spectrum from among the interf...

Abstract Due to rapid population growth and the limitation of land resources, sustainability agricultural ecosystems has attracted more attention all over world. Human activities will alter components atmosphere lead climate change, which consequently affects crop production badly. In this context, wheat is considered an important ranks as one top strategic crops globally. The main objective re...

Global warming is increasing extreme heat conditions, with existing energy efficiency policies showing trade-offs between mitigation objectives and adaptation to climate change. This research aims identify the best resilient cooling solutions that should be promoted in built environment of extremely hot countries increase their resilience capacity. The impact change on zones, thermal demand (kW...

The consequences of climate change influence the distribution species, which plays a key role in ecosystems. In this work, modeling current and potential future was carried out under different scenarios tree species high economic commercial value, Dipteryx spp. This is hardwood that an important carbon sequestration, providing food nesting for wildlife reaching more than 40 m height with averag...

Highland bamboo (Oldeania alpina formerly Arundinaria or Yushania alpina) is a species of significant conservation value in Afromontane ecosystems across Africa. It also plays role the livelihoods local communities. However, global climate change anticipated to alter its ecological niche, leading range shifts and possible habitat contractions. This study aimed identify potentially suitable habi...

Recent observations of record low winter sea-ice coverage and warming water temperatures in the eastern Bering Sea have signaled potential impacts climate change on this ecosystem, which implications for commercial fisheries production. We investigate forecasted food web through end century under medium- high-emissions scenarios combination with a selection management strategies by conducting s...
