Impacts of Different Monin–Obukhov Parameterizations on Seasonal Turbulent Heat Flux Estimates Over Snow Surfaces

Abstract Modeling of turbulent heat fluxes over snow surfaces almost exclusively depends on the Monin–Obukhov similarity theory. Within this framework, this study evaluates the impact of different parameterizations, including roughness lengths and stability correction functions,...

Screening of Xeroprotectants for Efficient MammalianCell Structural Preservation in Dry Conditions

Abstract Anhydrobiosis, the ability of organisms to survive extreme conditions such as desiccation, may represent a sustainable alternative to liquid-nitrogen (liquid nitrogen)-based cryopreservation once it can be induced in mammalian cells and germplasm. While natural xeroprote...

Estimated Dose-Dependent Associations Between Dietary Intake and Stress Responses in Adolescents and Young Adults: Evidence from a Regional Observational Study in Japan

Background/Objectives: The relationship between diet and mental wellbeing is bidirectional: nutritional psychiatry examines effects of diet on mental health, whereas emotional-eating research focuses on the reverse. Although dose–response links between nutrient intake and health...
