Methods of evaluating thermodynamic properties of landscape cover using multispectral reflected radiation measurements by the Landsat satellite
Entropy. 2013. Vol. 15. No. 9. P. 3970–3982.
The paper discusses methods of evaluating thermodynamic properties of landscape cover based on multi-spectral measurements by the Landsat satellites. Authors demonstrate how these methods could be used for studying functionality of landscapes and for spatial interpolation of Flux NET system measurements.

Antiviral activity is commonly summarized using endpoint measures such as EC50 or EC90, yet these quantities emerge from a dynamic biological system and depend on viral replication kinetics, host-cell properties, experimental design, and the assay used to quantify infection. Infectious-virus titers, viral RNA, infected-cell fractions, viability measurements, and immune readouts capture different components of the ...

Spermophilus suslicus is a threatened species listed in Red Data Books at all levels (from regional Red Data
Books to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species), and it currently requires special conservation activity.
Over the past 30–50 years, its range has changed from continuous to mosaic, and its population has declined
everywhere. In 2015, in Russia experimental ...

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 ...

Introduction. The active integration of rapidly developing omics and computer technologies in the 21st century has led to a breakthrough in understanding the principles of the functioning of living systems. One of the dynamically developing integrative areas in biology is biological modeling. The fundamental paradigm has been the methodology that allows for the prediction of ...

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 ...

The work examines the evolution and correlation of the concept of entropy across thermodynamics, statistical physics, and information theory. The author traces the development from Clausius's classical definition of entropy as a state function of a thermodynamic system to its probabilistic interpretation in statistical mechanics (Boltzmann–Gibbs entropy) and Shannon's mathematical definition through uncertainty in communication ...

Thermodynamic variables estimated by multispectral remote survey allows us to evaluate energy balance components, that are reflective of the nature of the physiological processes: photosynthesis, circulation of moisture and biogenic elements by living matter as a function of the landscape components: relief, soil and vegetation. The series of multispectral information provide us a universal tool for ...
