By using static chamber and gas chromatography methods, this paper studied the effects of clear cutting and selective cutting on the CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions from Larix gmelini-Sphagnum swamp in Lesser Xing' an Mountains. Dramatic changes in the seasonal dynamics of CH4 and N2O emissions were detected in different treatment sites. Control site absorbed CH4 in summer and emitted CH4 in autumn, and absorbed N2O in both summer and autumn; selective cutting site emitted CH4 and N2O mainly in summer; and clear cutting site emitted CH4 in summer and autumn, and absorbed N2O in summer but emitted it in autumn. Cutting pattern had less effects on the seasonal dynamics of CO2 emission. Both on the clear cutting site and on the selective cutting site, the CO2 emission was in order of summer > spring > autumn. Forest cutting altered the source and sink functions of the sites. Control site functioned as a source of CO2 and a weak sink of CH4 or N2O, while forest cutting sites had a decrease of CO2 emission by 25%, and became a weak source of N2O and a weak or strong source of CH4. Compared with that of control site, the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of selective cutting site and clear cutting site was reduced by 24.5% and increased by 3.2%, respectively.

Purifying membrane proteins has been the limiting step for studying their structure and function. The challenges of the process include the low expression levels in heterologous systems and the requirement for their biochemical stabilization in solution. The human voltage-gated proton channel (hH1) is a good example of that: the published protocols to express and purify hH1 produce low protein quantities at high costs, which is an issue for systematically characterizing its structure and function.

Treatment for neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) is tailored to the tumor's site of origin, grade, and differentiation. NENs are categorized into two main types: well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), which tend to grow more slowly and are less aggressive, and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs), which are highly aggressive and harder to treat. Treatment options for NETs range from somatostatin analogues and mTOR inhibitors to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with Lutetium-177 dotatate.

Ensuring the provision of safe drinking water necessitates thorough monitoring of microbial water quality. While traditional culture-based enumeration of bacterial indicators has served as the gold standard in compliance monitoring since the late 19th century, recent advancements in microbial sensor technology, driven by automation and digitalization, are revolutionizing on-site monitoring capabilities. These innovations offer unparalleled potential for automated, high temporal frequency monitoring with remote, real-time data transmission.

Background: Various surgical techniques have recently been developed for periodontal tissue regeneration, especially those do not involve any incisions in the interdental papillae at the regeneration site. These techniques have significant advantages for obtaining clinical attachment gain with least amount of gingival recession, however, may also have disadvantages such as limited field of surgical view, difficulty in debridement, and limited access only from the buccal side. This case report addresses a 2-year follow-up with a novel surgical approach to achieve periodontal regeneration that overcomes these limitations: the flexible tunnel technique (FTT).
