Machine learning-based assessment of land use change effects on land surface temperature fluctuations in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam.

Sustainable urban development requires actionable insights into the thermal consequences of land transformation. This study examines the impact of land use and land cover (LULC) changes on land surface temperature (LST) in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam, between 1998 and 2024. Using Google Earth Engine (GEE), three machine learning algorithms-random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and classification and regression tree (CART)-were applied for LULC classification.

Chromosomal puzzle in snakes: adjacent interstitial telomeric sites on chromosome 5 in three species of genus Vipera.

Large interstitial telomeric regions are considered remnants and markers of chromosomal rearrangements or a result of several suggested molecular mechanisms of telomere repeats accumulation. More rare are cases when large interstitial repeats are found not close to, but at a distance from the centromere. However, synapsis, recombination, and effects on chromatin near these regions during meiotic prophase I have not been sufficiently studied.

Gleaning from Diaries in Long-Duration Isolation.

Introduction: A 264-d isolation simulation, SFINCSS-99, was conducted in Moscow to replicate typical scenarios on an orbital space station. One long-term group of four Russian crewmembers occupied the isolation complex for most of the duration (240 d), while two international groups of four each spent 110 d successively at the complex. Additionally, there were several short visits by medical personnel.

Preparation, characterization, and application of a novel chestnut starch-based bigel as a fat substitute in bread.

This study developed a novel self-assembled bigel by combining a chestnut starch (CS) hydrogel with a γ-oryzanol/β-sitosterol (γ-ORY/β-SIT) oleogel. The influence of the hydrogel to oleogel ratio on the macro and micro structures, mechanical properties and thermal stability of the bigels was examined, and its potential as a healthier solid fat substitute was further explored. The results indicated that as the proportion of hydrogel increased (10 %-50 %), all bigels maintained a consistent semi-solid structure without any phase separation.

The role of surface material properties on the behavior of ionic liquids in nanoconfinement: A critical review and perspective of theory and simulations.

Room temperature ionic liquids show great promise as electrolytes in various technological applications, such as energy storage or electrotunable lubrication. These applications are particularly intriguing due to the specific behavior of ionic liquids in nanoconfinement. While previous research has been focused on optimizing the required characteristics through the selection of electrolyte properties, the contribution of confining material properties in these systems has been largely overlooked.

Attitudes and ethical beliefs of Russian psychiatrists towards the use of coercive treatment practices.

In many countries little is known about the attitudes and ethical beliefs of practicing psychiatrists towards the use of coercive practices. This is true as regards Russia where coercion was used for political purposes during the Soviet period. However, substantial changes have occurred in the psychiatric system in recent decades with a focus on patients' rights and the idea of consent.

Microbial Physiological Adaptation to Biodegradable Microplastics Drives the Transformation and Reactivity of Dissolved Organic Matter in Soil.

The turnover of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil regulated by biodegradable microplastics (MPs) has garnered much attention due to its profound impact on the storage and stability of soil organic matter. However, the transformation and reactivity of plant-derived and microbially derived DOM by microorganisms adapted to biodegradable MPs, and the involved microbial physiological processes, remain nearly unknown. Here, we added virgin and aged polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) to agricultural soils and incubated for 56 days.
