Soil carbon storage is a well identified climate change mitigation solution. The extensive in-situ monitoring of the soil carbon storage in cropland for agricultural policy and offset carbon markets is prohibitive, especially at intra-field scale. For this reason, comprehensive Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of soil carbon and its exp...

Based on increased understanding of the idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) pathophysiology, venous sinus stenting (VSS) has emerged as an effective treatment for patients with transverse sinus stenosis (TSS). The presence of a reliable TSS screening tool is warranted. The combined conduit score (CCS) is the most widely used score for evalua...

In combination with drastic emission reduction cuts, limiting global warming below 1.5 °C or 2 °C requires atmospheric carbon dioxide removal (CDR) of up to 16 GtCO2 yr−1 by 2050. Among CDR solutions, ocean afforestation through macroalgae cultivation is considered promising due to high rates of productivity and environmental co-benefits. We modify...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate magnetic resonance (MR) angiography (MRA) and venography (MRV) findings in tuberculous meningitis (TBM). Methods Thirty consecutive patients of clinically diagnosed TBM were enrolled. Apart from T2-weighted imaging, T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), diffusion-weighted imaging, susceptibility-weighted imagi...

Underlying policy efforts to address global climate change is the scientific need to develop the methods to accurately measure and model carbon stocks and fluxes across the wide range of spatial and temporal scales in the Earth system. Initiated in 2010, the NASA Carbon Monitoring System is one of the most ambitious relevant science initiatives to ...

This study identifies key challenges to measure the carbon footprint (CF) over the whole life cycle of buildings in Chile, although its findings are also applicable to other countries. This paper presents four of the said challenges that emerge from the analysis of certification programs, design guides, databases, CF/LCA calculators, standards, and...

Introduction: Pancytopenia is a hematological condition in which there is a reduction in all three cell lines of blood. This study aims to evaluate the utility of reticulocyte indices such as reticulocyte % (retic %), immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), and mean reticulocyte volume (MRV) in identifying the cause of pancytopenia. Materials and Met...
Community-based forest monitoring is seen as a way both to improve community engagement and participation in national environmental payment schemes and climate mitigation priorities and to implement reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and foster conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbo...
There is growing international interest in better managing soils to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) content to contribute to climate change mitigation, to enhance resilience to climate change and to underpin food security, through initiatives such as international ‘4p1000’ initiative and the FAO's Global assessment of SOC sequestration potential...
Resumo: O debate global sobre mudanças climáticas coloca a atividade agropecuária no centro dos esforços para mitigação de emissões de gases causadores do efeito estufa. O Brasil, que vem aderindo aos acordos climáticos desde o Protocolo de Kyoto, assumiu em 2015 uma série de metas para mitigação de emissões na agropecuária como parte de seu compro...
