This study provides a sensitivity analysis of the main physicochemical (PC) oceanographic variables (pressure-depth, bottom water temperature and salinity) that control the theoretical stability of marine gas hydrates and quantifies their relative importance. It focuses on how glacial-interglacial periods, such as the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), influence the variability of the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ) thickness along...

Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures subjected to moderate-to-severe earthquake ground motion often experience a poor performance, characterised by extensive cracking phenomena and the activation and development of collapse mechanisms. This produces high repair costs and a severe threat to human life. Furthermore, outward projection and accumulation of debris may reduce road serviceability, undermining rescue efforts and incr...

The Almonte-Marismas aquifer, southwestern Spain, is a critical ecohydrogeological system that features extensive groundwater monitoring. This study investigates the utility of gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) satellite data, specifically obtained from the global land data assimilation system (GLDAS) version 2.2, for assessing groundwater storage variations in the Almonte-Marismas aquifer. The presented research...

The expression of Neuritin-1 ( NRN1 ), a neurotrophic factor crucial for neurodevelopment and synaptic plasticity, is enhanced by the Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor ( BDNF ). Although the receptor of NRN1 remains unclear, it is suggested that NRN1’s activation of the insulin receptor (IR) pathway promotes the transcription of the calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 C ( CACNA1C ). These three genes have been indepen...

Aim Movement of water from the land surface to the atmosphere (evapotranspiration, ET ) is the dominant output flux in the global terrestrial surface water budget. The partitioning of ET between soil evaporation ( E ) and plant transpiration ( T ) couples important ecological, hydrological and atmospheric processes. ET partitioning has been hypothesized to vary as a function of woody plant cover, yet a relationship between ET...
