This paper substantiates the use of the nonadditive statistical mechanics equipment to estimate the thermodynamic variables of an ecosystem in terms of the multispectral measurements of reflected solar radiation. The parameter q is accepted as corresponding to the Förster maximum organization conditions. The remote information (Landsat) has been used to calculate the entropy, Kullback information, Förster organization measure, free energy, exergy, related and internal energy, and the energy consumption for evapotranspiration and photosynthesis for the q index measured for each pixel of the satellite images. It is proved that the seasonal dynamics of the q index and the organization measure is fully consistent with the implications arising from the open nonequilibrium system theory, and the thermodynamic variables accurately reflect the current state of the ecosystem.

Snow drought has become a research hotspot due to its widespread impacts on ecosystems and water resources, yet its effects on vegetation phenology remain relatively understudied. Focusing on the Mongolian Plateau, this study used the Snow Water Equivalent Index and the start of growing season (SOS) to assess the associations between snow drought and vegetation ...

Brachiopoda is a group of animals, that is still insufficiently studied at the ultrastructural level, despite the significance of ultrastructure of tissues and organs for analysing the functional morphology, reconstructing the organisation and biology of numerous extinct brachiopods, and establishing relationships among major taxa. In the present study, we provide a revised reconstruction of the ...

This work presents a new analytical solution of the shallow water theory for cylindrical propagation of long tsunami-like waves in the basin of variable depth. Considered model cases are related to tsunami wave propagation from an asteroid fallen into the sea, or from underwater volcanic eruptions. The corresponding bottom geometries represent radially symmetric obstacles such ...

In this letter, bipolar solitary wave interactions in the Schamel equation are revisited numerically. Two simulation settings are considered: repeated collisions in a periodic domain, and the interaction of a positive solitary wave with a train of negative polarity solitary waves of equal amplitude. In the first case, when the amplitudes are comparable, the larger ...

The role of escape from the cytotoxic T cell (CTL) response in SARS-CoV-2 evolution remains controversial. Here, we study the origin and spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants whose mutations reduce presentation by the HLA class I alleles common in human populations. We find that 35% of mutations that are characteristic of the variants of concern, and ...

В обзоре интеллектуальное наследие В.И. Вернадского (1863-1945) рассматривается в контексте зарубежных инвайронментальных исследований (преимущественно на материале англоязычных публикаций двух последних десятилетий). Реконструируются ключевые идейные истоки мировоззрения Вернадского: влияние В.В. Докучаева, русского космизма и концепции ноосферы П. Тейяра де Шардена. Анализируются понятия научной системы Вернадского - «живое вещество», «биосфера» и «ноосфера»; прослеживается их рецепция в современных ...

Rangeland degradation is a global environmental challenge; however, intense debate persists between equilibrium (focused on the negative effects of grazing intensity) and non-equilibrium (emphasizing livestock mobility for adapting to climate variability) theories in rangeland ecology. In recent years, an integrative theory advocating the “coexistence of equilibrium and non-equilibrium” has emerged to reconcile this debate. However, ...

Targeted protein degradation represents a promising therapeutic strategy, yet its broader application is often limited by the scarcity of usable E3 ligases. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is a key target for inducing ferroptosis, but achieving sustained and potent inhibition remains challenging with conventional enzymatic inhibitors. Herein, we report the first small‐molecule GPX4 degraders that incorporate ...

Accurate classification of a patient with pulmonary hypertension (PH) into one of five groups is fundamental for appropriate disease management strategies. The time from disease onset to correct diagnosis is unacceptably long in many cases. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) develops as a consequence of venous thromboemboli, resulting in a more pronounced hereditary predisposition to ...

Центромеры обеспечивают расхождение хромосом, однако организацию их хроматина в пределах повторяющейся альфа-сателлитной ДНК долгое время было трудно изучать. Для решения этой задачи мы создали гаплотип-разрешённые аннотации сателлитной ДНК для полной диплоидной сборки генома человека T2T-HG002. Затем с помощью метода направленного метилирования с секвенированием длинных прочтений (DiMeLo-seq) мы картировали центромерный белок A (CENP-A), модификацию H3K9me3 и ...

The common marmoset is a New World monkey widely used to study primate evolution and human disease. We present a telomere-to-telomere (T2T) reference assembly for the species, plus three near-T2T haplotypes. These resolve previously inaccessible regions, including the centromeres, sex chromosomes, subterminal satellites, acrocentric chromosomes, and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). We find marmoset centromeres ...

Global warming has made the Arctic increasingly available for marine operations and created a demand for reliable operational sea ice forecasts to increase safety. Because ocean-ice numerical models are highly computationally intensive, relatively lightweight ML-based methods may be more efficient for sea ice forecasting. Many studies have exploited different deep learning models alongside classical approaches ...
