The cost of monitoring greenhouse gas emissions from landfill sites is of major concern for regulatory authorities. The current monitoring procedure is recognised as labour intensive, requiring agency inspectors to physically travel to perimeter borehole wells in rough terrain and manually measure gas concentration levels with expensive hand-held instrumentation. In this article we present a cost-effective and efficient system for remotely monitoring landfill subsurface migration of methane and carbon dioxide concentration levels. Based purely on an autonomous sensing architecture, the proposed sensing platform was capable of performing complex analytical measurements in situ and successfully communicating the data remotely to a cloud database. A web tool was developed to present the sensed data to relevant stakeholders. We report our experiences in deploying such an approach in the field over a period of approximately 16 months.

Background: Renal autoregulatory mechanisms modulate renal blood flow. Connecting tubule glomerular feedback (CNTGF) is a vasodilator mechanism in the connecting tubule (CNT), triggered paracrinally when high sodium levels are detected via the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). The primary activation factor of CNTGF-whether NaCl concentration, independent luminal flow, or the combined total sodium delivery-is still unclear.

Drought is a significant environmental stressor that induces changes in the physiological, morphological, biochemical, and molecular traits of plants, ultimately resulting in reduced plant growth and crop productivity. Seaweed extracts are thought to be effective in mitigating the effects of drought stress on plants. In this study, we investigated the impact of crude extract (CE), and polysaccharides (PS) derived from the brown macroalgae Fucus spiralis (Heterokontophyta, Phaeophyceae) applied at 5% (v/v) and 0.

Drug-target interactions (DTIs) are pivotal in drug discovery and development, and their accurate identification can significantly expedite the process. Numerous DTI prediction methods have emerged, yet many fail to fully harness the feature information of drugs and targets or address the issue of feature redundancy. We aim to refine DTI prediction accuracy by eliminating redundant features and capitalizing on the node topological structure to enhance feature extraction.

Background: Aeromonas infections pose a significant threat associated with high mortality rates. This study investigates the potential of mitomycin C (MMC), an anticancer drug, as a novel antimicrobial agent against Aeromonas infections.
Methods: We evaluated the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of MMC and antibiotics against clinical Aeromonas isolates using broth microdilution.
