Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how alternating drying and wetting impacts soil preferential flow in an arid valley, specifically in the Honghe River area, using methods like dye tracers and image processing.
  • Results indicated that this alternation resulted in pronounced matrix flow in the topsoil, increased dye penetration depth, and a higher number of macropores, which in turn enhanced stable effluent rates.
  • The findings suggest that the size distribution of macropores shifted due to drying and wetting cycles, making soil more susceptible to preferential flow with a notable correlation between macropore characteristics and flow rates.

Protein ubiquitination regulates almost every process in eukaryotic cells. The study of the many enzymes involved in the ubiquitination system and the development of ubiquitination-associated therapeutics are important areas of current research. Synthetic tools such as ubiquitin-based chemical probes have been making an increasing contribution to deciphering various biochemical components involved in ubiquitin conjugation, recruitment, signaling, and deconjugation.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the leading malignancy in Huaian, China. Recently, emerging studies have suggested that an aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression signature exists in ESCC. However, there is discordant information available on specific miRNA expression in patients from different regions.
