Land-based mitigation strategies (LBMS) are critical to reducing climate change and will require large areas for their implementation. Yet few studies have considered how and where LBMS compete for land or are mutually compatible across Earth’s surface. We derived high resolution estimates of the spatial distribution…

We address a fundamental challenge in cybersecurity operations of translating governance frameworks into actionable mitigation decisions under realistic resource constraints. Frameworks such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) provide widely adopted measures of organizational maturity, but do not directly support…

This paper presents the literature reviewed on the evolution of the natural hazard mitigation perspective and an overview of its progression to date. The article uses information taken from diverse sources such as a globally accepted scientific databases Google Scholar ([http://www.scholar.google.co.in]()), Scopus…

As major sources of methane (CH4) emissions, cities have an important role in mitigating near-term global temperature rise. However, cities are challenging environments for characterizing CH4 emissions due to the diversity and spatial extent of sources. Furthermore, the characteristics and contributions of different…

'Flávio Dayrell Gontijo' 'João Alves da Silva Filho' 'Alexandre Franco Castilho' 'Luis Enrique Sánchez'] The application of the mitigation hierarchy (MH) to mining projects is challenging in situations of locational overlap between endemic flora and mineral deposits. We review flora surveys conducted in connection with…

The dynamics of flooding are primarily influenced by the shape, height, and roughness (friction) of the underlying topography. For this reason, mechanisms to mitigate floods frequently employ structural measures that either modify topographic elevation, e.g., through the placement of levees and sandbags, or increase…

Reconciling renewable energy planning and biodiversity conservation is urgently needed to address the interconnected crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. However, current strategies to avoid or limit the negative effects of renewable energy on biodiversity still hold major limitations during the planning…

Methane (CH4), is a potent greenhouse gas released from a wide range of natural and anthropogenic sources. This study explores the performance of thermal catalysis for CH4 abatement under dilute conditions (10–500 ppm), representative of real-world environments. A matrix of catalysts comprising of 1 wt% Pd, Ni, and Ag…

'Igor Linkov'] The decisions that individuals make when recovering from and adapting to repeated hazards affect a region’s vulnerability in future hazards. As such, community vulnerability is not a static property but rather a dynamic property dependent on behavioral responses to repeated hazards and damage. This paper…

Climate change is increasingly exacerbating existing population health hazards, as well as resulting in new negative health effects. Flooding is one particularly deadly example of its amplifying and expanding effect on public health. This systematic review considered evidence linking green building strategies in the…

'Mohammad Hadikhan Tehrani'] Abstract: This study introduces a comprehensive stage-wise decision framework to support resilience planning for roadway networks regarding pre-disaster mitigation (Stage I), post-disaster emergency response (Stage II) and long-term recovery (Stage III). Three decision metrics are first…

In the United States, people of color are disproportionately and unjustly exposed to air pollution. Historically, environmental policy has emphasized aggregate emission reductions; yet major emission reduction scenarios do not sufficiently mitigate relative exposure disparities. Here, we show that without focusing on…

'Shannon Clarke' 'Jared Enriquez' 'Bethany Greenaway' 'Meghan T. Holtan' 'Jamal Lewis' 'Ozgem Ornektekin' 'Laurie Schoeman' 'Amanda Stevens'] Title: Abstract New York State has nearly 5.3 million buildings, and all of them are vulnerable in some way to the impacts of climate change. Understanding these impacts is…

The recently-emerged amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has had an unprecedented impact on global amphibian populations, and highlights the urgent need to develop effective mitigation strategies against this pathogen. We conducted field antifungal treatment experiments in populations of the…

Technological and medical advances over the past few decades epitomize human capabilities. However, the increased life expectancies and concomitant land-use changes have significantly contributed to the release of ~830 gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere over the last three decades, an amount comparable to the prior…

Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) is essential for mitochondrial functions, yet current methods for modulating MMP lack precise spatial and temporal control. Here, we present an optogenetic system that enables reversible formation of inter-mitochondrial contacts (mito-contacts) with high spatiotemporal precision.…

The need for increased disaster resilience planning, especially at the community level, as well as the need to address sustainability are clear; these dual objectives have been deemed national priorities in a number of recent US Executive Orders. Major global climate agreements, (i.e., the Sendai Framework for Disaster…

Cells use a specialized process called mitophagy to degrade mitochondria, and the conditions that induce mitophagy can endanger mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Here, we report a novel mechanism by which cells undergoing hypoxia response (HR)-induced mitophagy protect their mtDNA from destruction by segregating it into large…

'Noam Ben‐Asher' 'Terrence J. Moore' 'Dong Seong Kim' 'Hyuk Lim' 'Frederica F. Nelson'] Abstract—Reactive defense mechanisms, such as intrusion detection systems, have made significant efforts to secure a system or network for the last several decades. However, the nature of reactive security mechanisms has limitations…

Wide-area aerial methods provide comprehensive screening of methane emissions from oil and gas (O&G) facilities in production basins. Emissions detections (`plumes') from these studies are also frequently scaled to basin level. However, little information exists to determine if plumes detected fugitive emissions or…

Background The COVID-19 pandemic was accompanied by a barrage of false, misleading, and manipulated information that inhibited effective pandemic response and led to thousands of preventable deaths. Recognition of the urgent public health threat posed by this infodemic led to the development of numerous infodemic…

The molecular pathology of diseases seen from the mitochondrial axis has become more complex with the progression of research. A variety of factors, including the failure of mitochondrial dynamics and quality control, have made it extremely difficult to narrow down drug discovery targets. We have identified MITOL…

Protection of metal is primary undertaking for any design engineer and coating formulator. Construction of large scale equipment and structure involves huge investment in terms of money, time, manpower and other resources. In economic aspects, the life of such structure must as long as possible to get the best return…

Mitochondrial diseases are a group of disorders defined by defects in oxidative phosphorylation caused by nuclear- or mitochondrial-encoded gene mutations. A main cellular phenotype of mitochondrial disease mutations are redox imbalances and inflammatory signaling underlying pathogenic signatures of these patients.…
