Rolling circle amplification (RCA) for generation of distinct fluorescent signals in situ relies upon the self-collapsing properties of single-stranded DNA in commonly used RCA-based methods. By introducing a cross-hybridizing DNA oligonucleotide during rolling circle amplification, we demonstrate that the fluorophore-labeled RCA products (RCPs) become smaller. The reduced size of RCPs increase...

The present study models the effect of climate change on distribution Persian oak (Quercus brantii Lindl.) in Zagros forests, located west Iran. modeling is conducted under current and future climatic conditions by fitting machine learning method Bayesian additive regression tree (BART). For anticipation potential habitats for oak, two general circulation (GCMs) CCSM4 HADGEM2-ES representative ...

Abstract. The study of past climates has demonstrated the occurrence Heinrich events during which major ice discharges occurred at polar sheet, leading to significant additional sea level rise. strongly influenced oceanic circulation and global climate. However, standard climate change scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathways or RCPs) do not consider such potential rapid sheet collapse;...

We present climatic consequences of the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) using the coupled climate model CLIMBER-3α, which contains a statisticaldynamical atmosphere and a three-dimensional ocean model. We compare those with emulations of 19 state-of-the-art atmosphere-ocean general circulation models (AOGCM) using MAGICC6. The RCPs are designed as standard scenarios for the forthco...

This study examines the response of hydrological processes to different climate change scenarios in Jemma sub-basin Blue Nile Basin. Future near-term (2021–2050) and long-term (2071–2100) were developed from six statistically bias corrected Regional Climate Models (RCMs) under two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) scenarios: RCP4.5 RCP8.5. The outputs models used as input a calibrate...

Assessing the impact of climate change on streamflow is crucial for depicting vulnerability water resources and identifying proper adaptation measures. This study used Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to simulate El Kalb river, a major perennial river in Lebanon. The model performance was tested monthly flow at two stations under nine-year calibration period (2003–2011) four-year validation (2...

Many aquatic species have restricted dispersal capabilities, making them the most vulnerable organisms to climate change and land use patterns. These factors deplete Nymphaea species’ suitable habitats, threatening their populations survival. In addition, are poorly documented, which may indicate how scarce they or will become. Members of ecologically important as well having cultural economic ...

The assessment of aridity conditions is a key factor for water management and the implementation mitigation adaptation policies in agroforestry systems. Towards this aim, three indices were computed Iberian Peninsula (IP): De Martonne Index (DMI), Pinna Combinative (PCI), Erinç Aridity (EAI). These first baseline period 1961–1990, using gridded observational data (E-OBS), subsequently, periods ...

Mean sea-level is expected to rise significantly by 2100 in all scenarios, including those compatible with the objectives of Paris Climate Agreement. Global sea level projections indicate devastating implications for populations, ecosystem services and biodiversity. The (SLR) on low-lying islands coastal regions communities are substantial require deep-rooted coping measures. In absence adequat...
