Metabolomics and doping analysis: promises and pitfalls.
(
Future Science
, 2020 , Article)
This brief commentary presents an overview of the potential utility of metabolomics-based approaches in doping
analysis, with particular emphasis on areas where the current analytical procedures would most benefit from ...
Faunal mediated carbon export from mangroves in an arid area
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The outwelling paradigm argues that mangrove and saltmarsh wetlands export much excess production to downstream marine systems. However, outwelling is difficult to quantify and currently 40–50% of fixed carbon is unaccounted ...

(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The Khor Al Adaid embayment of southern Qatar represents a unique shallow-water mixed siliciclastic‑carbonate coastal depositional system that developed in a hyper-arid climatic setting over the past 6000 years. The ...
Mangrove carbon stocks and biomass partitioning in an extreme environment
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Global inventories that show mangrove forests have rich carbon stores currently lack data from arid areas where carbon stocks may be functionally impoverished relative to humid regions. We quantified total carbon stocks ...

Clinical outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) showed enormous inter-individual and inter-population differences, possibly due to host ...
Human digital thought clones: the Holy Grail of artificial intelligence for big data
(
Routledge
, 2020 , Article)
This article explores the legal and ethical implications of big data’s pursuit of human ‘digital thought clones’. It identifies various types of digital clones that have been developed and demonstrates how the pursuit of ...
The maxima in northerly wind speeds and wave heights over the Arabian Sea, the Arabian/Persian Gulf and the Red Sea derived from 40 years of ERA5 data
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
Recent studies point out the importance of northerly winds and waves in the Arabian Sea, especially those due to shamal and makran events in addition to the northeast monsoon system. We have analyzed climatology and trends ...
Survey and identification of date palm pathogens and indigenous biocontrol agents
(
American Phytopathological Society
, 2020 , Article)
Fungal diseases are considered a major threat to plant growth and productivity. However, some beneficial fungi growing in the same environment protect plants from various pathogens, either by secreting antifungal metabolites ...
