An evaluation study on screening, partial purification, and characterization of proteins and antioxidant peptides from two varieties of Clitoria Ternatea.

This study focused on the unexplored bioactive proteins derived from the flower of Clitoria ternatea. The profiling of blue and white C. ternatea flowers was compared.

Unique Capabilities of Genome Sequencing for Rare Disease Diagnosis.

Background: Causal variants underlying rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive gene panels or exome sequencing (ES). Clinicians and researchers may then turn to genome sequencing (GS), though the added value of this technique and its optimal use remain poorly defined. We therefore investigated the advantages of GS within a phenotypically diverse cohort.

A review on global status of fresh and saline groundwater discharge into the ocean.

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is the groundwater flow from land to the sea across the seabed, and it includes both terrane freshwater and recirculated seawater in the sub-surface. This review (i) systematically evaluates findings of various quantification methodologies, (ii) examines the estimated SGD in scientific publications between 2000 and 2020, and (iii) quantitatively evaluates current situation of coastal zone management through the bibliometric analysis of research papers. Apart from enhancing the shortage of groundwater resources in coastal area, the SGD brings nutrients (nitrate and phosphate), toxic heavy metals, and organic compounds, and thus contaminate the seawater.
