A greenhouse experiment and a 2-yr field trial were conducted to compare various S sources for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] grown on an acid Oxisol in Brazil. In the greenhouse, included ammonium sulfate (AMS), monoammonium phosphate with ratio = 50:50 of AMS/elemental (ES) – (AMS + ES), ES bentonite containing 90% ES. All surface-applied at 0, 5, 10, 20, 40 mg kg–1. Separately, all incorpo...

Acute mountain sickness (AMS), which may progress to life-threatening high-altitude cerebral edema, is a major threat to millions of people who live in or travel to high altitude. Although studies have revealed the risk factors and pathophysiology theories of AMS, the molecular mechanisms of it do not comprehensively illustrate. Here, we used a system-level methodology, RNA sequencing, to explo...

Kidney function remained essentially unaffected and acute mountain sickness (AMS) was not associated with salt water retention in healthy young men flown to resting at the Margherita hut (4,559 m) under strictly controlled conditions maintaining water, salt, food intake pre-exposure levels. Thus, renal dysfunction fluid are essential factors contributing pathophysiology of AMS.

The advent of acoustic metasurfaces (AMs), which are the two-dimensional equivalents metamaterials, has opened up new possibilities in wave manipulation using acoustically thin structures. Through interaction between waves and subwavelength scattering, AMs exhibit versatile capabilities to control propagation such as by steering, focusing, absorption. In recent years, this vibrant field expande...
