In northern alpine tundra, large slope gradients, late-lying snow drifts and shallow soils overlying impermeable substrates all contribute to large hillslope runoff volumes during the CORNER spring freshet.Understanding the processes and pathways of hillslope runoff in this environment is, therefore, critical to understanding the water cycle within

Preclinical PET animal studies require immobilization of the animal, typically accomplished through the administration of anesthesia, which may affect the radiotracer biodistribution.The use of 18F point sources attached to the rat head is one of the most promising methods for motion compensation in awake rat PET studies.However, the presence of ra
With the development of industrialization and urbanization, heavy metal contamination in agricultural soils tends to accumulate rapidly and harm human health.Visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy provides the feasibility of fast monitoring of the variation of heavy metals.This study explored the potential of fractional-order derivative (
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a member of fibroblast growth factor family, is a hormone-like growth factor that is synthesized mainly in the liver and adipose tissue.FGF21 regulates lipid and glucose metabolism and has substantial roles in decreasing lipogenesis and increasing hepatic insulin sensitivity which causing lipid profile improveme
