Article Synopsis
- Drought poses significant challenges for ecosystems and socioeconomic conditions, highlighting the need for effective assessment and mitigation strategies.
- This study integrates the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) with machine learning techniques to evaluate drought characteristics in the Middle Ganga Plain, focusing on frequency, intensity, and magnitude of drought events.
- Results reveal that the south-western region of the Middle Ganga Plain is highly vulnerable to drought, with specific areas identified for targeted water resource management and improved preparedness strategies.
Objectives: Combining research from infant and child development, public health, anthropology, and history, this research examines the relationship between growth, growth disruption, and skeletal indicators of chronic and/or episodic physiological stress (stress) among juvenile individuals (n = 60) interred at the late antique infant and child cemetery at Poggio Gramignano (PG) (ca. 5th century CE), associated with a rural agricultural community.
Materials And Methods: Growth disruption-evidenced by decreased long bone length compared to dental age-and stress experience-evidenced by skeletal stress indicators-within these individuals are compared to those within juveniles from a comparative sample (n = 66) from two urban Roman-era cemeteries, Villa Rustica (VR) (0-250 CE) and Tragurium City Necropolis (TCN) (0-700 CE).
The Myxovirus resistance () proteins are critical effectors belonging to the super-family of guanidine triphosphatase, often stimulated by type I interferon (IFN) and mediates antiviral responses to restrict the replication of numerous viral genes in fishes. In teleosts, Mx proteins display diverse and complicated antiviral activity in different species. The present investigation seeks to characterize the Mx gene from upon induction by double-stranded (ds) RNA, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid, (poly I: C).
