The available data, mainly topography, geoid, and heat flow, describing hotspots worldwide are examined to constrain the mechanisms for swell uplift and to obtain fluxes and excess temperatures of mantle plumes. Swell uplift is caused mainly by excess temperatures that move with the lithosphere plate and to a lesser extent hot asthenosphere near the hotspot. The volume, heat, and buoyancy fluxe...
The use of endemism and vascular plants only for biodiversity hotspot delineation has long been contested. Few studies have focused on the efficacy of global biodiversity hotspots for the conservation of insects, an important, abundant, and often ignored component of biodiversity. We aimed to test five alternative diversity measures for hotspot delineation and examine the efficacy of biodiversi...
BACKGROUND The spread of infectious diseases in wildlife populations is influenced by patterns of between-host contacts. Habitat "hotspots"--places attracting a large numbers of individuals or social groups--can significantly alter contact patterns and, hence, disease propagation. Research on the importance of habitat hotspots in wildlife epidemiology has primarily focused on how inter-individu...
Meiotic recombination events typically cluster within narrow regions of the genome termed hotspots. A series of recent papers reveals that PRDM9, a C2H2-type zinc-finger protein with histone H3 lysine 4 methyltransferase activity, plays a major role in the specification of hotspots. The zinc fingers that contact DNA in a sequence-dependent manner evolve rapidly and are under positive selection,...
QTL hotspots (genomic locations affecting many traits) are a common feature in genetical genomics studies, and are biologically interesting since they may harbor critical regulators. Therefore, statistical procedures to assess the significance of hotspots are of key importance. One approach, randomly allocating observed QTLs across the genomic locations separately by trait, implicitly assumes a...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the three causes of death that has had the highest increase in the last 20 years. The increasing CKD burden occurs in the context of lack of access of most of the world population to adequate healthcare and an incomplete understanding of the pathogenesis of CKD. However, CKD is not homogeneously distributed. CKD hotspots are defined as countries, region, c...
Protecting hotspots of marine species richness may not be an effective strategy to conserve biodiversity because these sites do not coincide with hotspots of functional and phylogenetic diversity.
As advanced technologies in wafer manufacturing push patterning processes toward lower-k1 subwavelength printing, lithography for mass production potentially suffers from decreased patterning fidelity. This results in generation of many hotspots, which are actual device patterns with relatively large CD and image errors with respect to on-wafer targets. Hotspots can be formed under a variety of...
India accounts for the world’s greatest concentration of coal fires which cause several devastating environmental effects. Only Jharia Coal Field (JCF) in Jharkhand (India) contains nearly half of subsurface mine fires (hotspots) in Indian coalfields. Therefore attention is required in this direction for mapping, monitoring and detecting these hotspots. Operational satellite images can be very ...
Protein-protein interactions, a key to almost any biological process, are mediated by molecular mechanisms that are not entirely clear. The study of these mechanisms often focuses on all residues at protein-protein interfaces. However, only a small subset of all interface residues is actually essential for recognition or binding. Commonly referred to as "hotspots," these essential residues are ...
