Periodic spatiotemporal two-dimensional (2D) asymptotic patterns in an excitable two-variable thermochemical (reaction-diffusion) system are shown. In a one-dimensional system the traveling impulse which reflects from impermeable boundaries is a stable asymptotic solution if the diffusion coefficient of the reactant is greater than the thermal diffusivity of the system. Periodic patterns of two symmetries are presented in the 2D system: the impulse of excitation propagating along the diagonal of a square spatial domain and a structure consisting of curved impulses which propagate in the direction perpendicular to one side of a rectangular domain.

Glaciers of Jammu and Kashmir are retreating faster than those in the broader northwestern Himalayas, yet some glaciers in the Chenab River basin display signs of periodic advancement and mass gain (2005-2007). These features, such as coalescing lobate structures and blocked meltwater streams, raise intriguing questions about localized glacier dynamics. While global concerns over climate change and glacier retreat persist, the lack of detailed evidence regarding glacier advance in this region warrants further investigation.

Factors influencing spatiotemporal variability of NO concentration in urban area: a GIS and remote sensing-based approach.

Environ Monit Assess

January 2025

Air Quality, Climate Change and Health (ACH) Lab, Department of Public Health and Informatics, Jahangirnagar University, 1342, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The growing global attention on urban air quality underscores the need to understand the spatiotemporal dynamics of nitrogen dioxide (NO) and its environmental and anthropogenic factors, particularly in cities like Dhaka (Gazipur), Bangladesh, which suffers from some of the world's worst air quality. This study analysed NO concentrations in Gazipur from 2019 to 2022 using Sentinel-5P TROPOMI data on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. Correlations and regression analysis were done between NO levels and various environmental factors, including land surface temperature (LST), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), land use and land cover (LULC), population density, road density, settlement density, and industry density.

Background: Prescribed fires play a critical role in reducing the intensity and severity of future wildfires by systematically and widely consuming accumulated vegetation fuel. While the current probability of prescribed fire escape in the United States stands very low, their consequential impact, particularly the large wildfires they cause, raises substantial concerns. The most direct way of understanding this trade-off between wildfire risk reduction and prescribed fire escapes is to explore patterns in the historical prescribed fire records.

The human skin and oral cavity harbor complex microbial communities, which exist in dynamic equilibrium with the host's physiological state and the external environment. This study investigates the microbial atlas of human skin and oral cavities using samples collected over a 10-month period, aiming to assess how both internal and external factors influence the human microbiome. We examined bacterial community diversity and stability across various body sites, including palm and nasal skin, saliva, and oral epithelial cells, during environmental changes and a COVID-19 pandemic.
