Article Synopsis
  • An international network is being developed to survey scientists continuously, gathering extensive datasets about their opinions over time.
  • Local coordinators at participating institutions will send out brief survey invitations to scientists, utilizing a simple 10-second survey format with a single statement and a five-point Likert scale.
  • A recent study successfully engaged over 20,000 scientists, receiving 6,807 responses, which demonstrates the feasibility of quickly measuring global scientific opinion, potentially aiding in policy-making and enhancing public understanding.

Rising temperature due to changing climate significantly impacts the production of tomato. The morpho-physiological functions of tomato such as gas exchange, growth and development, flowering, fruit setting, quality, fruit size, weight that can influence the yield and production is drastically affected by higher temperatures. Among the growth stages of tomato, flowering and fruit setting stage is highly vulnerable to high temperature resulting in reduced flower numbers, increased flower abortion, stigma exertion, abnormal ovule, reduced pollen germination, pollen numbers, pollen tube development, pollen viability and increased male sterility.

Objective: The review involves the assessment of morphological variations in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and its associated structures in patients with temporomandibular disorder.

Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are debilitating conditions that affect the TMJ complex, surrounding musculature and osseous components. Studies have reported that TMD result from morphological alterations in TMJ.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are recognized for their persistence and ubiquitous occurrence in different environmental compartments. Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) cannot effectively remove PFAS from wastewater, and a better understanding of the occurrence and sources of PFAS in this medium would enable effective source abatement. We compared sewage from urban areas exhibiting differentiating characteristics with respect to activities in their catchments.
