Mixed siliciclastic-carbonate-evaporite sedimentation in an arid eolian landscape: The Khor Al Adaid tide-dominated coastal embayment, Qatar by John M., Rivers

“…Associated flow expansion into less confined areas results in deposition of the eolian-derived sands as flood-tidal deltas, one in the Outer, and two in the Inner Lagoon. A weakly-developed ebb-tidal delta occurs where the Entrance Channel debouches into the Arabian Gulf. …”

The expression of bile acid Receptor TGR5 in Adipose Tissue in Diet-induced obesity mice by Ahmed, Sumaya

“…There was significant downregulation of TGR5 gene expression level in obese (DIO) mice and remarkable upregulation of TGR5 gene expression after successful weight loss in DIO mice treated with SFN in time dependent manner at 1 weeks and 4 weeks of ip applications. In conclusion, obesity is associated with decrease in expression of TGR5 in different fat depots and treatment with anti-obesity drug (Sulforaphane) causes stepwise upregulation of TGR5 gene expression in epididymal white adipose tissue parallel stepwise decrease in body weight. …”

“…Purpose: To compare the effect of a 20-minute nap opportunity (N20), a moderate dose of caffeine (CAF; 5 mg·kg-1), or a moderate dose of caffeine before N20 (CAF+N) as possible countermeasures to the decreased performance and the partial sleep deprivation-induced muscle damage. …”

Thermally assisted efficient electrochemical lithium extraction from simulated seawater by Yanxi, Yu

“…Comprehensive material characterization and mechanistic analyses revealed that the improved lithium extraction originates from boosted kinetics rather than thermodynamic equilibrium shifts. A higher temperature (i.e., 60 oC) mitigates the activation polarization of lithium intercalation, decreases charge transfer resistances, and improves lithium diffusion. …”
