Mitigating Methane: Emerging Technologies To Combat Climate Change’s Second Leading Contributor

Climate changes and emerging fungal infections

Background: Candida auris is a globally emerging yeast pathogen that has shown not only resistance to most anti-fungal drugs but also thermo-tolerance to temperatures higher than the mammalian’s body temperature. Although it has been only a decade since the fungus was identified, its spread of infections has been rapid and quasi-epidemics have been reported. Co-occurrences of the fungus infecti...

Inputs Accumulation Or Productivity: Which Factor Is The Leading Contributor To Economic Growth In Iran?

Energy materials to combat climate change.

The growing evidence for, and acceptance of, the role of anthropogenic CO2 in contributing to potentially dangerous climate change clearly provides a powerful incentive for the development of decarbonized forms of energy generation and storage; indeed, the development of energy technologies that are independent of fossil fuels is widely accepted as being of the highest priority. However, the vi...

Mitigating methane emission from paddy soil with rice-straw biochar amendment under projected climate change

Elevated global temperatures and increased concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere associated with climate change will exert profound effects on rice cropping systems, particularly on their greenhouse gas emitting potential. Incorporating biochar into paddy soil has been shown previously to reduce methane (CH4) emission from paddy rice under ambient temperature and CO2. We exam...

Emerging molecular technologies for identifying the risk of second cancers.

Susan T. Mayne and Stephen B. Gruber Cancer is becoming an increasingly survivable disease, and the number of cancer survivors is increasing each year. Second or higher-order cancers now account for about 16% of incident cancers in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (1). An important current research need is to understand which patients are at greatest risk for second canc...
