Species distribution in space is important in habitat conservation and biodiversity protection, so gaining knowledge about species range would be worthwhile to rescue endangered species and plan conservation policy. This study evaluates and compares the performance of an array of Species Distribution Models (SDMs), namely RF, SVM, MaxEnt, GLMNET, and MARS, in predicting rare sand cat distribution across a large unprotected sand dune area in central Iran. Due to absence of reliable data and difficulties in recording the species itself, the SDMs were challenged by limited data including 55 absence (background) and 40 presence points as well as nine climatic and geological parameters that influence on species distribution, including humidity, maximum, minimum and mean temperature, precipitation, amount of sunshine, ground water level, aspect, and DEM. Moreover, each model was replicated 20 times and the statistics including TSS, AUC, COR and Deviance were computed. Then, based on computed statistics, the model performances were evaluated by TUKEY and ANOVA. Finally, ensemble map was obtained by weighted approach using AUC. The results of this study showed that complex machine learning methods, like SVM, RF, and MaxEnt are more outperformed to predict the distribution of rare species. 相似文献

In this research, carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic human health risks due to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated via three exposure pathways: accidental ingestion of soil, dermal contact of soils, and contaminated vegetable ingestion. To determine the contaminant concentrations in soil, samples were collected from areas adjacent to the Tehran oil refinery, located in Shahr-e-Ray city, Iran. Analyses of the samples indicated that the average of PAHs concentration in the soil samples were greater than clean-up level guidelines. Cancer risk of contaminants due to ingestion of cultivated vegetables that are sold in Tehran markets was significant in comparison with other exposure pathways. Moreover, the total cancer risk for 5th percentile, 95 upper confidence limit, and 95th percentile concentration of contaminants were 5.69E-04, 8.78E-02, and 2.13E-01, classifying the site as having a significant cancer risk potential. Furthermore, non-carcinogenic health risk analyses for the contaminants demonstrated hazard index of less than 1. Remediation of the soils is highly recommended to eliminate the potential cancer risks and prevent the contamination of the food chain for approximately 10 million Tehran residents. 相似文献

The presence of Cs and Sr in culture medium of Azolla filiculoides caused about 27.4% and 46.3% inhibition of biomass growth, respectively, in comparison to A. filiculoides control weight which had not metals. Biosorption batch experiments were conducted to determine the Cs and Sr binding ability of native biomass and chemically modified biosorbents derived from Azolla namely ferrocyanide Azolla sorbents type 1 and type 2 (FAS1 and FAS2) and hydrogen peroxide Azolla sorbent (HAS). The best Cs and Sr removal results were obtained when A. filiculoides was treated by 2 M MgCl2 and 30 ml H2O2 8 mM at pH 7 for 12 h and it was then washed by NaOH solution at pH 10.5 for 6 h. Pretreatment of Azolla have been suggested to modify the surface characteristics which could improve biosorption process. The binding of Cs and Sr on the cell wall of Azolla was studied with micro-PIXE and FT-IR. 相似文献

Thirty-eight soil samples were collected from crude oil contaminated land in south of Iran. Initial screening of a total of 100 bacterial isolates, resulted in the selection of one isolate with maximum adsorption capacity of 52.7 mg vanadate/g dry weight. It was tentatively identified as Halomonas sp. according to morphological and biochemical properties and named strain GT-83. Removal of vanadate by biosorption with Halomonas sp. GT-83 was very sensitive to solution pH. Vanadate adsorption decreased with increasing pH, with maximum adsorption capacities achieved in at pH 3.0 in the absence and in the presence of increasing concentrations of salt. Vanadate-salt biosorption studies were also performed at this pH value. Equilibrium uptakes of vanadate increased with increasing vanadate concentration up to 600 mg/l. Maximum metal removal (91.8%) took place at pH 3.0 with initial vanadate concentration of 100 mg/l, which got reduced (84.8%) in the presence of 50 g/l salt. The equilibrium sorption data were analyzed by using Freundlich isotherm. The specific uptake of vanadate increased at low cell concentration and decreased when cell concentration exceeded 0.75 g/l. The paper also demonstrates the potential value of micro-PIXE in biosorption studies. 相似文献

A combination of nanotopographical cues and surface modification of collagen and fibronectin is a potential platform in primordial germ cells (PGCs) differentiation. In the present study, the synergistic effect of nanotopography and surface modification on differentiation of nuclear transfer embryonic stem cells (nt-ESCs) toward PGC lineage was investigated. In order to achieve this goal, poly-anyline (PANi) was mix within poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA). Afterward, the random composite mats were fabricated using PLLA and PANi mix solution. The nanofiber topography notably upregulated the expressions of prdm14, mvh and c-kit compared with tissue culture polystyrene (TCP). Moreover, the combination of nanofiber topography and surface modification resulted in more enhancement of PGCs differentiation compared with non-modified nanofibrous scaffold. Additionally, gene expression results showed that mvh and c-kit were expressed at higher intensity in cells exposed to collagen and fibronectin rather than collagen or fibronectin solitary. These results demonstrated the importance of combined effect of collagen and fibronectin in order to develop a functional extracellular matrix (ECM) mimic in directing stem cell fate and the potential of such biofunctional scaffolds for treatment of infertility. 相似文献

Total body weight of newborns, the volume of spleen, and the number of megakaryocytes decreased following the exposure to ELF-MF (6 x 10(-3) T and 50 Hz) at 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, and 16-20 days of pregnancy of mice. The complete period of gestation was sensitive to ELF-MF exposure; the initial days were more prone to exposure. The results suggest that the use of ELF-MF producing instruments should be limited during gestation. 相似文献

Urmia Lake is one of the most permanent hypersaline lakes in the world which is threatened by hypersalinity and serious dryness.
In spite of its importance no paper has been published regarding bacterial community of this lake. Accordingly, the present
study aimed to investigate the halophilic bacteria in the aforementioned lake. In so doing, thirty seven strains were isolated
on six different culture media. The isolated strains were characterized using phenotypic and genotypic methods. Growth of
the strains occurred at 25–35°C, pH 6–9 and 7 to 20% (w/v) NaCl indicating that most of the isolates were moderately halophiles.
Catalase, oxidase and urease activities were found to be positive for the majority of the isolates. Phylogenetic analysis
based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolated bacteria belonged to two major taxa: Gammaproteobacteria (92%, including Salicola [46%], Pseudomonas [13.5%], Marinobacter [11%], Idiomarina [11%], and Halomonas [8%]) and Firmicutes (8%, including Bacillus [5%] and Halobacillus [3%]). In addition, a novel bacterium whose 16S rRNA gene sequence showed almost 98% sequence identity with the taxonomically
troubled DSM 3050T, Halovibrio denitrificans HGD 3T and Halospina denitriflcans HGD 1–3, each, was isolated. 16S rRNA gene similarity levels along with phenotypic characteristics suggest that some of the
isolated strains could be regarded as potential type strain for novel species, on which further studies are recommended. 相似文献

The limitation of hot spot cooling in microchips represents an important hurdle for the electronics industry to overcome with coolers yet to exceed the efficiencies required. Nanotechnology‐enabled heat sinks that can be magnetophoretically formed onto the hot spots within a microfluidic environment are presented. CrO2 nanoparticles, which are dynamically chained and docked onto the hot spots, establish tuneable high‐aspect‐ratio nanofins for the heat exchange between these hot spots and the liquid coolant. These nanofins can also be grown and released on demand, absorbing and releasing the heat from the hot spots into the microfluidic system. It is shown that both high aspect ratio and flexibility of the fins have a dramatic effect on increasing the heat sinking efficiency. The system has the potential to offer a practical cooling solution for future electronics. 相似文献
