Geochemistry of indium in magmatic-hydrothermal tin and sulfide deposits of the Herberton Mineral Field, Australia - Avish A. Kumar; Ioan V. Sanislav; Henrietta E. Cathey; Paul H. G. M. Dirks (Mineralium Deposita, 2023)
The Herberton Mineral Field in Northeast Australia hosts world class magmatic-hydrothermal Sn–W polymetallic deposits that are enriched in In. The Baal Gammon and Isabel deposits from the Herberton Mineral Field contains early tin, as cassiterite, overprinted by sulfide mineralization as chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite, and stannite. We investigated the distribution of In in the sulfide ores from these two deposits, calculated the temperature of formation via sphalerite-stannite geothermometer, and deduced the physicochemical conditions favorable for enriching In in this mineralizing environment. The Baal Gammon deposit is dominated by chalcopyrite, with In contained in chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and stannite. The average In concentrations measured by EPMA in chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and stannite are 0.10, 0.68, and 0.92 wt%, respectively. Chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, and sphalerite textures indicate that In incorporation occurred during exsolution from an intermediate solid solution of cubanite composition. The Isabel deposit is dominated by sphalerite associated with galena and contains only minor amounts of chalcopyrite. The average concentration of In in sphalerite from the Isabel deposit is 0.11 wt%. The stannite-sphalerite geothermometer indicates mineralization temperatures of ~ 290 °C at the Baal Gammon deposit, and ~ 307 °C at the Isabel deposit. At these temperatures, the physicochemical modeling suggests that stable In chlorine complexes occur in acidic conditions (pH < 3). These results when combined with the Eh–pH phase model of the sulfide assemblage further constrain the redox conditions during mineralization.

Mobile Signaling Peptides: Secret Molecular Messengers with a Mighty Role in Plant Life - Deepu Pandita; Javaid Akhter Bhat; Shabir Hussain Wani; Abdelaleim Ismail ElSayed; Ghazala Nawaz; Soumya Mukherjee; Vincent P. Reyes; Anuj Kumar; Qiufang Shen; Showkat Ahmad Ganie; Kadambot H. M. Siddique (Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2023)
Adaptive mechanisms for unfavorable environments have evolved in plants for thousands of generations, primarily in the form of endogenous chemical signals and the coordination of physiological processes. Signaling peptides (SPs) are diverse molecular messengers in various stress responses which have been identified in different plant families. SPs are recognized by the membrane-localized receptors and co-receptors, leading to downstream signaling for various plant responses. Progress in in silico analysis, along with other factors, has increased our understanding of the signaling peptide-mediated regulatory mechanisms underlying the entire plant life cycle. SPs mediate both long-distance (root-to-shoot-to-root) and local cell–cell communication via vascular system to communicate and coordinate with plant organs at distant locations. During abiotic stress, SPs inside plant cells perceive stress signals and transfer information at short and long physiological ranges through the signal transduction pathway, causing stress-responsive gene expression. SPs interact with pathogens and mediate cell-to-cell communication via signaling pathways. There are intriguing relationships between phytohormones and the secondary signaling cascades which are mediated by SPs. During biotic or abiotic stress, different peptides trigger jasmonic acid, ethylene, and ABA signaling, involving several secondary messengers. These messengers mediate the stress response via shared signaling components of ROS, Ca 2+ , and MAPKs, and they modify the gene expression for different phytohormones. In this review, we highlight current knowledge on the role of signaling peptides in plant adaptation, growth, and development. We aim to analyze the SP-receptor interactions and the significance of crosstalk between a few sample SPs and phytohormones. Potential directions on how scientists can use this information for crop improvement are also suggested.

Kisspeptin neuron projections to oxytocin neurons are not necessary for parturition in the mouse - Shalini S. Kumar; Gregory T. Bouwer; Meliame K. Jackson; Michael R. Perkinson; Fiona J. McDonald; Colin H. Brown; Rachael A. Augustine (Brain Structure and Function, 2023)
Oxytocin is synthesized by hypothalamic supraoptic nucleus (SON) and paraventricular nucleus (PVN) neurons and is released from the posterior pituitary gland to trigger uterine contractions during parturition. In rats, oxytocin neuron innervation by periventricular nucleus (PeN) kisspeptin neurons increases over pregnancy and intra-SON kisspeptin administration excites oxytocin neurons only in late pregnancy. To test the hypothesis that kisspeptin neurons excite oxytocin neurons to trigger uterine contractions during birth in C57/B6J mice, double-label immunohistochemistry for kisspeptin and oxytocin first confirmed that kisspeptin neurons project to the SON and PVN. Furthermore, kisspeptin fibers expressed synaptophysin and formed close appositions with oxytocin neurons in the mouse SON and PVN before and during pregnancy. Stereotaxic viral delivery of caspase-3 into the AVPV/PeN of Kiss-Cre mice before mating reduced kisspeptin expression in the AVPV, PeN, SON and PVN by > 90% but did not affect the duration of pregnancy or the timing of delivery of each pup during parturition. Therefore, it appears that AVPV/PeN kisspeptin neuron projections to oxytocin neurons are not necessary for parturition in the mouse.

Bioactive fraction from Plumeria obtusa L. attenuates LPS-induced acute lung injury in mice and inflammation in RAW 264.7 macrophages: LC/QToF-MS and molecular docking - Yousra T. Eloutify; Riham A. El-Shiekh; Khaled Meselhy Ibrahim; Ahmed R. Hamed; Ahmed A. Al-Karmalawy; Aya A. Shokry; Yasmine H. Ahmed; Bharathi Avula; Kumar Katragunta; Ikhlas A. Khan; Meselhy R. Meselhy (Inflammopharmacology, 2023)
In this study, the anti-inflammatory effects of the methanolic extract (TE) of Plumeria obtusa L. (aerial parts) and its fractions were evaluated in vitro, and active fraction was evaluated in vivo. Among tested extracts, dichloromethane fraction (DCM-F) exhibited the strongest inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) in RAW 264.7 macrophages. The effect of DCM-F on LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice was studied. The animals were divided into five groups ( n = 7) randomly; Gp I: negative control, GP II: positive control (LPS group), GP III: standard (dexamethasone, 2 mg/kg b.wt), GP IV and V: DCM-F (100 mg/kg), and DEM-F (200 mg/kg), respectively. DCM-F at a dose of 200 mg/kg suppressed the ability of LPS to increase the levels of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), NO, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin 6 (IL-6), as measured by ELISA. In addition, the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was reduced (determined by immunohistochemistry) and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) was decreased while that of catalase was restored to the normal values. Furthermore, the histopathological scores of inflammation induced by LPS were reduced. Twenty-two compounds were tentatively identified in DCM-F using LC/ESI-QToF with iridoids, phenolic derivatives and flavonoids as major constituents. Identified compounds were subjected to two different molecular docking processes against iNOS and prostaglandin E synthase-1 target receptors. Notably, protoplumericin A and 13- O -coumaroyl plumeride were the most promising members compared to the co-crystallized inhibitor in each case. These findings suggested that DCM-F attenuates the LPS-induced ALI in experimental animals through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential.

Assessment of data‐limited fisheries: A case study of three finfish species in Chilika lagoon, India - Vettath Raghavan Suresh; Eldho Varghese; Aliyamintakath M. Sajina; Subodha Kumar Karna; Surya K.

Inland capture fisheries in many parts of the world, especially in developing nations, receive relatively low governance priority, thereby raising concerns about their sustainability. Consequently, most inland capture fisheries are data‐limited, which renders conventional capture fisheries assessment methods inapplicable for making science‐based monitoring and management decisions. Three recent data‐limited approaches for marine fish stock assessments using length frequency and catch data (Length‐Based Indicators [LBI], Growth‐Type Groups Length‐Based Spawning Potential Ratio [GTG‐LBSPR] and Catch Maximum Sustainable Yield [CMSY]), were explored for applicability to assess stock status of three commercially exploited finfish species, Daysciaena albida , Eleutheronema tetradactylum and Mugil cephalus , in Chilika lagoon, an inland water body along the east coast of India. The LBI and GTG‐LBSPR approaches are based on catch length‐frequency data, while the CMSY is based on catch‐only data. The LBI provided insight into current exploitation status of the three species in relation to sustainable fishing, the GTG‐LBSPR provided reference points (RP) for the unfished portion of spawning biomass and relative yield in relation to selectivity, and the CMSY provided RPs for MSY, biomass and fishing pressure that yield MSY, to assess stock status and fishery management decisions. All three approaches suggested that the three species were overfished in terms of catch length and quantity, which agreed with expert knowledge of the fishery in the lagoon. All three approaches can support management and policy decisions in inland fisheries and fishery management recommendations. Future research should explore and standardise such approaches to overcome data limitations in assessing and managing inland capture fisheries.

There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental integrity. How can countries satisfy their demands while jointly delivering the required transformative change to achieve global sustainability targets? Here, we present a collaborative approach developed with the FABLE—Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land, and Energy—Consortium to reconcile both global and national elements for developing national food and land-use system pathways. This approach includes three key features: (1) global targets, (2) country-driven multi-objective pathways, and (3) multiple iterations of pathway refinement informed by both national and international impacts. This approach strengthens policy coherence and highlights where greater national and international ambition is needed to achieve global goals (e.g., the SDGs). We discuss how this could be used to support future climate and biodiversity negotiations and what further developments would be needed.

Future precipitation projection in Bangladesh using SimCLIM climate model: A multi‐model ensemble approach - H. M. Touhidul Islam; Abu Reza Md. Towfiqul Islam; Shamsuddin Shahid; G. M. Monirul Alam; Jatish Chandra Biswas; Md. Mizanur Rahman; Dilip Kumar Roy; Mohammad Kamruzzaman (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Appraisal of the long‐term precipitation trends and variability is crucial for sustainable water resources management. This research intended to evaluate Bangladesh's monthly, seasonal, and annual spatiotemporal rainfall variability using 40 global climate models for two representative concentration pathways (RCPs), RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. Statistical downscaling climate model (SimCLIM) was used for downscaling and ensemble projection of rainfall in near (2011–2040), middle (2041–2070), and far (2071–2100) futures. Modified Mann–Kendall test was applied to detect future rainfall trends. The results revealed a significant increasing trend in rainfall in near and middle futures for RCP4.5 and in all three future periods for RCP8.5 at all meteorological stations of Bangladesh during significant rainfall months (May–October). The results also showed a decreasing trend in rainfall in dry months (December–January) at many stations. The highest increase in rainfall was projected in June at a rate of 0.10–1.11 mm·year −1 for RCP4.5 and 3.34–4.98 mm·year −1 for RCP8.5 in different future periods. Monsoon rainfall showed the highest increase, and winter rainfall the lowest increase for all RCPs and future periods. The increase in annual precipitation over Bangladesh was projected 2.76–5.98% in three future periods for RCP4.5 and 6.98–26.44% for RCP8.5. These outcomes indicate a possible increase in floods severity and frequency in Bangladesh in the future.

Molecular dynamics and structure-based virtual screening and identification of natural compounds as Wnt signaling modulators: possible therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease - Suman Manandhar; Runali Sankhe; Keerthi Priya; Gangadhar Hari; Harish Kumar B.; Chetan H. Mehta; Usha Y. Nayak; K. Sreedhara Ranganath Pai (Molecular Diversity, 2022)
Wnt signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved pathway responsible for neurogenesis, axon outgrowth, neuronal polarity, synapse formation, and maintenance. Downregulation of Wnt signaling has been found in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Several experimental approaches to activate Wnt signaling pathway have proven to be beneficial in alleviating AD, which is one of the new therapeutic approaches for AD. The current study focuses on the computational structure-based virtual screening followed by the identification of potential phytomolecules targeting different markers of Wnt signaling like WIF1, DKK1, LRP6, GSK-3β, and acetylcholine esterase. Initially, screening of 1924 compounds from the plant-based library of Zinc database was done for the selected five proteins using docking approach followed by MM-GBSA calculations. The top five hit molecules were identified for each protein. Based on docking score, and binding interactions, the top two hit molecules for each protein were selected as promising molecules for the molecular dynamic (MD) simulation study with the five proteins. Therefore, from this in silico based study, we report that Mangiferin could be a potential molecule targeting Wnt signaling pathway modulating the LRP6 activity, Baicalin for AChE activity, Chebulic acid for DKK1, ZINC103539689 for WIF1, and Morin for GSk-3β protein. However, further validation of the activity is warranted based on in vivo and in vitro experiments for better understanding and strong claim. This study provides an in silico approach for the identification of modulators of the Wnt signaling pathway as a new therapeutic approach for AD. Graphical Abstract

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Load-Bearing Mechanisms of Piles Socketed in Soft Rocks - Arun Kumar Murali; Khoa M. Tran; Asadul Haque; Ha H. Bui (Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2022)
Rock-socket pile design predominantly depends on the shaft resistance to support the load at the serviceability state. However, due to limited understanding of the pile–rock interactions, the pile capacity is normally calculated using empirical correlations. In this study, the load-bearing mechanisms of rock-socketed piles were investigated through a miniaturised pile–load test setup in a soft synthetic rock. X-ray CT imaging and numerical discrete element modelling were used to investigate the micro-mechanics influencing the load-bearing mechanisms at the pile–rock interface. The numerical pile model was established based on suitable constitutive models capable of simulating the soft rock behaviour. The analysis of X-ray CT images at various displacements revealed three different interface mechanisms, namely sliding, local shearing and progressive shearing. The numerical model validated this observed micro-mechanics in the rock asperities through the evolution of damage and micro-cracks. Insights from the experimental and numerical results indicated that the height of the rock asperities significantly dictates the failure mode. Results also illustrated that the shaft load–displacement response primarily depends on the forces acting on the leading edges of the pile asperity. In particular, it was observed that the bottom leading edge carried a predominant portion of the shaft loads due to its connectivity with the rock at the base of the pile. Though negligible, the forces on the trailing edges provided valuable information on the contribution of residual shaft resistance by the debris at the interface. Moreover, the numerical studies revealed the different failure modes at the pile–rock interface. The discussions presented in this study provide novel insights into the load-bearing mechanisms of piles socketed in soft rocks, which will help to improve design guidelines in the future.

Key message This study identified a significant number of QTL that are associated with FHB disease resistance in NMBU spring wheat panel by conducting genome-wide association study. Abstract Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a widely known devastating disease of wheat caused by Fusarium graminearum and other Fusarium species. FHB resistance is quantitative, highly complex and divided into several resistance types. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) that are effective against several of the resistance types give valuable contributions to resistance breeding. A spring wheat panel of 300 cultivars and breeding lines of Nordic and exotic origins was tested in artificially inoculated field trials and subjected to visual FHB assessment in the years 2013–2015, 2019 and 2020. Deoxynivalenol (DON) content was measured on harvested grain samples, and anther extrusion (AE) was assessed in separate trials. Principal component analysis based on 35 and 25 K SNP arrays revealed the existence of two subgroups, dividing the panel into European and exotic lines. We employed a genome-wide association study to detect QTL associated with FHB traits and identify marker–trait associations that consistently influenced FHB resistance. A total of thirteen QTL were identified showing consistent effects across FHB resistance traits and environments. Haplotype analysis revealed a highly significant QTL on 7A, Qfhb.nmbu.7A.2, which was further validated on an independent set of breeding lines. Breeder-friendly KASP markers were developed for this QTL that can be used in marker-assisted selection. The lines in the wheat panel harbored from zero to five resistance alleles, and allele stacking showed that resistance can be significantly increased by combining several of these resistance alleles. This information enhances breeders´ possibilities for genomic prediction and to breed cultivars with improved FHB resistance.

Resolved and Redeemed: A New Fleck to the Evolutionary Divergence in the Genus Scomberomorus Lacepède, 1801 (Scombridae) With Cryptic Speciation - N. S. Jeena; Summaya Rahuman; Subal Kumar Roul; P.

The genus Scomberomorus , with 18 nominal species, sustains a significant heterogeneous fishery throughout its range. The sole molecular systematic study of this genus concerned the species group S. regalis , which contains the new world taxa. The species diversity of Scomberomorus in the northern Indian Ocean has not been studied at the molecular level, often leading to misidentifications. Here, novel genetic data are provided that reconfigure species boundaries from the region. We used single and multilocus data (eight mitochondrial and three nuclear genes) to infer phylogenetic relationships, species delimitation, and the resurrection of a time-calibrated phylogenetic tree. Our aim was also to verify the hypothesis of geographical races in S. guttatus predicated on variable vertebral counts. Interestingly, all species delimitation analyses have recovered another highly cryptic species in the nominal S. guttatus previously believed to have an Indo-Pacific distribution . Scomberomorus guttatus (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) in the sensu stricto , is redeemed from its type locality based on genetic data and preliminary morphomeristic investigations and has a restricted distribution in the Bay of Bengal. The cryptic species Scomberomorus aff. guttatus which exhibits >10% genetic divergence from S. guttatus is resurrected here from the synonymy of the latter as Scomberomorus leopardus (Shaw, 1803). Widespread in the Indo-Pacific, this species contains two major molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) with a divergence threshold of over 2% between them. Our analysis suggests that vertebral counts must be coupled with other features to identify the species/lineages in the nominal S. guttatus. The heterogeneity in the S. guttatus species group is discussed in relation to the ecological diversity of the region which facilitates larval recruitment and niche specialization. The results also revealed two allopatric putative species in S. commerson , found primarily in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. This study added genetic data from S. lineolatus and S. koreanus , not previously represented in the sequence repositories. Estimation of divergence time indicated that the Indo-West Pacific species group undergoes multiple diversification events besides the recent splits detected within S . leopardus .

Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disability-free survival outcome was defined as absence of dementia, persistent disability or death. Selection of potential predictors from amongst 25 biomedical, psychosocial and lifestyle variables including recognized geriatric risk factors, utilizing a machine-learning approach. Separate models were developed for men and women. The selected predictors were evaluated in a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model and validated internally by bootstrapping. We included 19,114 Australian and US participants aged ≥65 years (median 74 years, IQR 71.6–77.7). Common predictors of a worse prognosis in both sexes included higher age, lower Modified Mini-Mental State Examination score, lower gait speed, lower grip strength and abnormal (low or elevated) body mass index. Additional risk factors for men included current smoking, and abnormal eGFR. In women, diabetes and depression were additional predictors. The biased-corrected areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the final prognostic models at 5 years were 0.72 for men and 0.75 for women. Final models showed good calibration between the observed and predicted risks. We developed a prediction model in which age, cognitive function and gait speed were the strongest predictors of disability-free survival in healthy older people.

Fresh mechanical and durability properties of alkali-activated fly ash-slag concrete: a review - H. S. Abhishek; Shreelaxmi Prashant; Muralidhar V. Kamath; Mithesh Kumar (Innovative Infrastructure Solutions, 2022)
This paper describes a review of the state-of-the-art research carried on the fresh and hardened properties of Alkali Activated Binders and Concretes. Though, many research have been carried out in the recent times on alkali activated binders, few key parameters still remain unattended, that restricts the commercial application of AAMs to the general construction activities. Fresh properties, mechanical strength and durability performance of Alkali activated concrete with various Alumino silicates as base materials is mentioned. An essential parameter of Alkali activated concrete is the concentration of alkaline solution on which various properties like mechanical strength, setting time and durability depends. Influence of wide range of concentrations from 6 to 16 M on these properties are studied and reported in this paper. This paper mainly concentrates on properties of readily available base materials such as Fly ash and Slag and the means to improve their performance through the use of various industrial and agro-based byproducts as additives. Problems pertaining to practical applicability of AAMs to general construction activities are also highlighted.

(Human Genetics, 2022)
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, common and rare variants from whole-exome sequencing data of about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting COVID-19 severity. First, variants were converted into separate sets of Boolean features, depending on the absence or the presence of variants in each gene. An ensemble of LASSO logistic regression models was used to identify the most informative Boolean features with respect to the genetic bases of severity. The Boolean features selected by these logistic models were combined into an Integrated PolyGenic Score that offers a synthetic and interpretable index for describing the contribution of host genetics in COVID-19 severity, as demonstrated through testing in several independent cohorts. Selected features belong to ultra-rare, rare, low-frequency, and common variants, including those in linkage disequilibrium with known GWAS loci. Noteworthily, around one quarter of the selected genes are sex-specific. Pathway analysis of the selected genes associated with COVID-19 severity reflected the multi-organ nature of the disease. The proposed model might provide useful information for developing diagnostics and therapeutics, while also being able to guide bedside disease management.

Testing a global standard for quantifying species recovery and assessing conservation impact - Molly K. Grace; H. Resit Akçakaya; Elizabeth L. Bennett; Thomas M. Brooks; Anna Heath; Simon Hedges; Craig Hilton‐Taylor; Michael Hoffmann; Axel Hochkirch; Richard Jenkins; David A. Keith; Barney Long; et al. (Conservation Biology, 2021)
Recognizing the imperative to evaluate species recovery and conservation impact, in 2012 the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) called for development of a “Green List of Species” (now the IUCN Green Status of Species). A draft Green Status framework for assessing species’ progress toward recovery, published in 2018, proposed 2 separate but interlinked components: a standardized method (i.e., measurement against benchmarks of species’ viability, functionality, and preimpact distribution) to determine current species recovery status (herein species recovery score ) and application of that method to estimate past and potential future impacts of conservation based on 4 metrics ( conservation legacy, conservation dependence , conservation gain , and recovery potential ). We tested the framework with 181 species representing diverse taxa, life histories, biomes, and IUCN Red List categories (extinction risk). Based on the observed distribution of species’ recovery scores, we propose the following species recovery categories : fully recovered, slightly depleted, moderately depleted, largely depleted, critically depleted, extinct in the wild, and indeterminate. Fifty‐nine percent of tested species were considered largely or critically depleted. Although there was a negative relationship between extinction risk and species recovery score, variation was considerable. Some species in lower risk categories were assessed as farther from recovery than those at higher risk. This emphasizes that species recovery is conceptually different from extinction risk and reinforces the utility of the IUCN Green Status of Species to more fully understand species conservation status. Although extinction risk did not predict conservation legacy, conservation dependence, or conservation gain, it was positively correlated with recovery potential. Only 1.7% of tested species were categorized as zero across all 4 of these conservation impact metrics , indicating that conservation has, or will, play a role in improving or maintaining species status for the vast majority of these species. Based on our results, we devised an updated assessment framework that introduces the option of using a dynamic baseline to assess future impacts of conservation over the short term to avoid misleading results which were generated in a small number of cases, and redefines short term as 10 years to better align with conservation planning. These changes are reflected in the IUCN Green Status of Species Standard.
