The lower Gandak River basin in India is particularly flood-prone, with Bihar experiencing annual losses of life and property due to massive flooding. Identifying flood-prone zones in this region is essential. Recently, geospatial techniques have become vital tools for determining flood-susceptible zones and managing floods. This study uses high-resolution ALOS DEM data to quantitatively analyse various morphometric and morphotectonic characteristics of 35 sub-watersheds (SW1 to SW35) to understand the drainage basin’s hydrological behaviour, particularly during the monsoon season. The compound factor weightage, calculated from morphometric analysis of 17 parameters, identifies flood-susceptible zones. Detailed statistical analysis revealed similarities and dissimilarities between each sub-watershed parameter. Sub-watersheds were classified into highly susceptible (26.24–24.00), moderately susceptible (23.18–21.12), and slightly susceptible (20.94–18.29) categories. Highly susceptible sub-watersheds (2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13) exhibit high erosion potential and greater flood devastation potential. Moderately susceptible sub-watersheds (1, 5, 10, 14, 15, 17, 20, 22, 23, 24, 30, and 34) show lesser flood effects. Slightly susceptible sub-watersheds (3, 16, 18, 19, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, and 35) are less affected. Hierarchical cluster and compound factor analyses confirm that highly susceptible sub-watersheds need higher mitigation measures to minimise impacts on life and livestock. Implementing mitigation techniques across all susceptibility classes is crucial to prevent further loss of human life and livestock. The study’s outcomes have direct implications for effective watershed management.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145007884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data from both professional astronomers and experienced amateur observers are utilized. Professional observations have been conducted with an 80-cm diameter telescope equipped with a QHY174M GPS camera, which provides precise UTC time-stamping for each exposure via its integrated GPS receiver. Amateur observations have been carried out with various telescopes and cameras, with the data recorded in video format. The video recordings were processed using a unified methodology to derive the photometric occultation light curve. Ingress and egress times of the occultation at each observing site are determined from the extracted photometric light curves of TYC 1318-01031-1. A proprietary method is applied to combine occultation chords from geographically dispersed sites where observations have been acquired independently [1]. Subsequent processing employs the proposed combination method to compute each site’s offset from the occultation path centerline. Chords of asteroid (52) Europa for each observing site are then calculated from the measured ingress and egress times of the occultation. Calculated asteroid chords are compared to the 3D shape model of the asteroid from the Database of Asteroid Models from Inversion Techniques (DAMIT). This approach yields strong validation of the technique and demonstrates that amateur observations, taking into account potential UTC time-stamping errors, can be used to reconstruct asteroid shapes.

The diversity and evolutionary relationship of the cotton AKR gene family was identified using physio-chemical analysis, phylogenetic tree construction, conserved motif analysis, chromosomal localization, prediction of cis-acting elements, and calculation of evolutionary selection pressure under 300 mM NaCl stress. The real-time qPCR showed that genes encoding members of the aldo–keto reductase (AKR) family in <i>Gossypium hirsutum</i> displayed distinct expression patterns various stress treatments. Specifically, the expression levels of certain genes were significantly upregulated under drought and salt stress. Notably, the role of <i>GhAKR40</i> gene in salt stress tolerance was validated using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technology in cotton. The <i>GhAKR40</i>-silenced plants experienced leaf wilting under salt stress compared with wild-type and null-control plants. In addition, a series of physio-biochemical such as DAB staining and measurement of RWCL (relative water content in leaves) indexes also indicated that silencing of the <i>AKR40</i> gene reduced the salt tolerance in cotton. Transcriptome sequencing and analysis of the VIGS-silenced lines suggest that <i>GhAKR40</i> may enhance salt tolerance in cotton plants by potentially participating in plant-pathogen interactions and the MAPK signaling pathway, thereby modulating both pathways. These data demonstrate that <i>GhAKRs</i> play a significant role in salt stress tolerance. <i>GhAKR40</i> functions as a positive regulator with a significant impact on stress tolerance.

Enhancing its water resistance is critical for broadening its applications, especially in humid and outdoor environments. This study investigates the enhancement of MDF water resistance through the chemical modification of the constituent wood fibres (in this case, thermo-mechanical pulp or TMP) through periodate oxidation. The treatment with sodium metaperiodate results in the formation of dialdehyde fibres (DA-TMP) which are then spray-coated with a phenol-formaldehyde resin, following the industrial procedures, and converted into a MDF through proper hot pressing. Comprehensive evaluation of the physical, mechanical, and biological properties is conducted, along with the study of fire behaviour comparing boards made from both oxidized and non-oxidized fibres. The results reveal that periodate oxidation reduces water absorption by 54% and thickness swelling by 56%, indicating significant changes in the fibres’ chemistry and morphology. Despite a slight decrease in mechanical properties, the overall performance of DA-TMP based MDF confirms this as a promising method for achieving superior durability in moisture-prone environments, including outdoor constructions. Importantly, the biological resistance of the material remains unaffected by the oxidation of the fibres, ensuring continued protection against biological attack and long-term durability. Additionally, fire performance tests show that DA-TMP based MDF exhibit reduced peak heat release and smoke production, further enhancing their suitability for fire-sensitive applications. Consequently, this research contributes to expand the use and durability of wood-based materials across various industrial sectors, offering a sustainable and effective alternative to traditional moisture resistance treatments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":550,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Wood and Wood Products","volume":"83 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00107-025-02325-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145007924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
