Abstract Most of Australia was in severe drought from 2018 to early 2020. Here we link this the Pacific and Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) modes associated with Central (CP) El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Dipole (IOD). Over last 20 years, occurrence frequency CP Niño has increased. This study extends previous understanding eastern (EP) Niño-Australian rainfall teleconnections, ...

With the rapid warming in past few decades, snow water equivalent (SWE) winter and spring decreased generally over Northern Hemisphere, but an increasing trend occurred some areas, especially east Siberia. In this paper, we analyze sources reasons for SWE increase Siberia since 1979 document projected future changes region. The were not significant four decades until 2000s, increased rapidly th...

neurocysticercosis, is the infection caused by the larval form of the tapeworm taenia solium. it is considered as the most common parasitic disease of the central nervous system and the most common cause of acquired epilepsy. this has primarily been a disease that remains endemic in countries with poor economy , but because of increased migration neurocysticercosis is being diagnosed more frequ...

green plants have emerged as ideal platforms for production of recombinant vaccine during recent decades. various antigens relating to a large number of animal and human diseases have been studied in different plant species for production of recombinant vaccines. despite the unique advantages of plant systems as green factories for production of recombinant vaccines, there are some major hurdle...

Drosophila, Wnt, FGF, Jak/Stat, Rho, Rac, RhoGEF, Pebble, Naked Cuticle The site for the latest installment of the Fly Meeting (March 7–11) was downtown Philadelphia. The conference offered an illustration of all that is great about the Drosophila field bringing together evolutionary biologists, immunologists and everyone in between. Here I will provide a small sample of several advances from t...

We show that the oscillatory driving of crystal surfaces can induce pattern formation or smoothening. Depending on driving conditions, step bunching and meandering, mound formation, or surface smoothening may be seen in the presence of a kinetic asymmetry at the steps or kinks. We employ a step model to calculate the induced mass flux along misoriented surfaces, which accounts for surface dynam...

In comparison with four major contemporary causes of death in the Occidental world, the progress we have made in combating rising rates of suicide is not encouraging. During recent decades, the significant decreases in death rates from cancer, heart disease, tuberculosis and cerebral vascular accidents (e.g. strokes) have not been seen in suicide/suicide prevention. Regretfully, the rate of sui...

Recent discoveries show steady improvements in life expectancy during modern decades. Does this support that humans continue to live longer in future? We recently put forward the maximum survival tendency, as found in survival curves of industrialized countries, which is described by extended Weibull model with age-dependent stretched exponent. The maximum survival tendency suggests that human ...
