A new species of Squamulea (Teloschistaceae) from the Himalayan Region

Squamulea pakistanica sp. nov. is a newly discovered lichen species from the Himalayan moist temperate forests of Pakistan. The genus Squamulea (Teloschistaceae) includes squamulose or subfoliose taxa, many of which are understudied in South Asia. This study aims to characterize...

Moderate Biochar–Compost Mixture Is More Effective in Improving Biomass, Nutrient Fluxes, and Photosynthetic Outputs for Sustainable Land Restoration and Soil Fertility

ABSTRACT Soil nutrient depletion severely constrains crop productivity in degraded and saline environments. Strategies such as biochar–compost integration could be useful for sustainable agriculture and land restoration on a global scale. This study evaluated the effects of bioch...

Hydrothermally engineered NiO–ZnO–In2O3 ternary heterojunction for enhanced visible-light photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and rhodamine B

The development of efficient and stable photocatalysts for wastewater remediation remains a significant environmental challenge. In this study, NiO, NiO–ZnO, and a ternary NiO–ZnO–In₂O₃ heterojunction were synthesized via a hydrothermal method and evaluated for the photocatalytic...

Accurate Treatment of Solution and Flux Discontinuities in 2D Time-Dependent Interface Problems via Meshless Method

Interface problems frequently arise in applications including heat conduction with composite materials, fluid flow in porous media, and diffusion–reaction processes across heterogeneous domains. This paper presents a numerical method that combines radial basis functions with a fi...

Building Sustainable Workplaces: The Synergistic Role of Human Capital Sustainability Leadership, Green HRM and Altruism in Promoting Employee Green Behaviour

Using social exchange theory, this study investigates how human capital sustainability leadership (HCSL) promotes employee green behaviour through green human resource management (Green HRM), and whether employee altruism, being a boundary condition, strengthens these relationshi...

Genetic diversity, haplotype structure, and population dynamics of Echinococcus granulosus isolates from human cystic echinococcosis in Tibet, China

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a globally important zoonotic disease caused by the larval (metacestode) stage of Echinococcus granulosus (sensu lato), a parasite complex characterized by marked genetic heterogeneity across geographical regions. The Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) of...
