Dryland ecosystem services (ESs) have been severely harmed by global environmental changes and increased human activities. To improve ESs, it is necessary to understand how they interact in drylands. In this study, we selected Ordos dryland, which situated northern China, as the study area assess its four key ESs—food supply (FS), carbon storage (CS), water yield (WY), habitat quality (HQ)—and ...

INTRODUÇÃO: A emergência da pandemia Covid-19, bem como a falta de tratamento eficaz, culminou no reposicionamento medicamentos, hidroxicloroquina (HQ). Porém, ciência já demonstrou eficácia desse medicamento contra o SARS-CoV-2, além orientar sobre cautela na prescrição e/ou descontinuação, principalmente em pacientes idosos (60 anos ou mais). Algumas consequências prolongamento do intervalo Q...

In this paper; an imidazolium ionic liquid (IL) is used to functionalize multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by covalent bonding on the MWNT surface. The functionalization not only provides a hydrophilic surface for ion accessibility but also prevents the aggregation of MWNTs. The IL-functionalized MWNTs were then applied for the electrochemical determination of the dihydroxybenzene isomers h...

This paper is a part of a larger project devoted to the study of Floer cohomology in algebro-geometic context, as a natural cohomology theory defined on a certain class of ind-schemes. Among these ind-schemes are algebro-geometric models of the spaces of free loops. Let X be a complex projective variety. Heuristically, HQ(X), the quantum cohomology of X, is a version of the Floer cohomology of ...

Hydroquinone (HQ) was used as the principal chemical reducing agent to prepare aqueous silver nanocolloids from silver nitrate. The data demonstrate that HQ is unable to initiate the particle growth process on its own, but is able to sustain particle growth in the presence of pre-existing metallic clusters. This unique selectivity is similar to that seen in photographic systems. Data are presen...

Introduction: Benzene a well-known environmental pollutant is a human carcinogen which is involved in the manifestation of a number of malignancies. Activation of benzene and its reactive metabolites such as hydroquinone (HQ) leads to continuous production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing oxidative Stress. Curcumin, the yellow pigment of curcuma longa, has been shown to possess antioxi...

With the rapid development of urbanization, habitat quality (HQ) in urban areas has been eroded. This phenomenon is destroying balance ecosystems, triggering reduction biodiversity and decay ecosystem service functions. The study relationship between urbanization HQ Zhengzhou City beneficial for reference sustainable ecological planning management. Based on landscape classification data socioec...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) development is strongly associated with cigarette smoke exposure, which activates the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) as a trigger for Th17 inflammatory pathways. We previously demonstrated that exposure to hydroquinone (HQ), one of major compounds tar, aggravates symptomatology in rats. However, mechanisms related HQ-related RA still remain elusive. Cell viability, cy...
