Hydro-Economic Risk and Resilience to Supply Chain Water Scarcity in Chinese Cities.

Present understanding on virtual scarce water embedded in supply chains has primarily focused on water quantities. Yet assessing the potential economic cost of and resilience to water scarcity along the supply chain is critical for making informed water and supply chain decisions. We quantified water scarcity risks and resilience at the city level, since fine-grained studies can better capture the highly varied water resource availability, demand and socio-economic development across China.

Low-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Detection of Medial Meniscal Lesions in Cranial Cruciate-Deficient Stifle Joints in Dogs.

Background: The aim of this study was to substantiate the ability of noninvasive low-field magnetic resonance imaging (lfMRI) to accurately depict meniscal lesions, thereby establishing lfMRI as a viable option for the diagnosis of meniscal pathology.

Study Design: This was a prospective, controlled study.

Materials And Methods: In each of 57 stifle joints, 5 predefined lfMRI sequences using a 0.

Total irrigation by crop in the Continental United States from 2008 to 2020.

We provide a dataset of irrigation water withdrawals by crop, county, year, and water source within the United States. We employ a framework we previously developed to establish a companion dataset to our original estimates. The main difference is that we now use the U.

Role of MicroRNAs as post transcription regulators of matrix metalloproteinases and their association in tuberculous meningitis.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have a role in driving neuroinflammation in infectious as well as non-infectious diseases; however, recent reports have potentiated the role of microRNAs in regulating MMPs at post-transcriptional levels, leading to dysregulation of crucial MMP functions like tissue remodelling, blood brain barrier integrity, etc. In present study, microRNAs regulating MMPs (MMP2 and MMP3) were selected from database search followed by literature support. Expression of these microRNAs i.
