HOLOCENE FLUVIAL LANDSCAPE EVOLUTION DRIVEN BY SEA LEVEL AND TECTONIC CONTROLS IN THE GANGKOU RIVER, HENGCHUN PENINSULA

Holocene fluvial landscape evolution driven by sea level and tectonic controls in the Gangkou River, Hengchun Peninsula

The fluvial landscape of the Hengchun Peninsula in southernmost Taiwan is generally characterized by a narrow river and a wide valley plain.Such underfit stream features are unusual in tectonically active areas such as Taiwan.In this research, we hypothesize that the relative sea level change since the end of the last glacial period might be the ma

Integrative transcriptomic, proteomic, and machine learning approach to identifying feature genes of atrial fibrillation using atrial samples from patients with valvular heart disease

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia with poorly understood mechanisms.We aimed to investigate the biological Aerosol Carpet Care mechanism of AF and to discover feature genes by analyzing multi-omics data and by applying a machine learning approach.Methods At the transcriptomic level, four microarray datasets

Increased microclimatic variation in artificial nests does not create ecological traps for a secondary cavity breeder, the European roller

Abstract Artificial devices are increasingly used in conservation measures to mitigate the disappearance of natural habitats.However, few studies have demonstrated their benefits for the target species, and they may pose a risk of creating ecological traps.This occurs when lower individual fitness is found in artificial habitats that are more attra
