ASSESSING VULNERABILITY AND FRAMING ADAPTIVE OPTIONS OF TWO MEDITERRANEAN WINE GROWING REGIONS FACING CLIMATE CHANGE: ROUSSILLON (FRANCE) AND MCLAREN VALE (AUSTRALIA)

Assessing vulnerability and framing adaptive options of two Mediterranean wine growing regions facing climate change: Roussillon (France) and McLaren Vale (Australia)

An increase in temperatures and a decrease in precipitations could be prejudicial to maintaining a premium wine production in regions with a Mediterranean climate.The present article offers to assess recent and future exposure to such changes in two Mediterranean wine producing regions: Roussillon (France) and McLaren Vale (Australia); as well as t

Predisposing factors of mycotic infections in COVID-19 patients

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (COVID-19) has led to considerable hike in hospitalizations for pneumonia with multiorgan disease requiring immediate hospital care, maintenance of oxygen saturation level, and severe cases requiring mechanical ventilation.This opens the window of opportunity to microscopic organisms such as different species o

First diagnosis of septic arthritis in a dinosaur

Identification and interpretation of pathologies in the fossil record allows for unique insights into the life histories of extinct organisms.However, the rarity of such finds limits not only the sample size for palaeopathologic studies, but also the types of analyses that may be performed.In this study, we present the first occurrence of a palaeop

Gating of a pH-sensitive K(2P) potassium channel by an electrostatic effect of basic sensor residues on the selectivity filter.

K(+) channels share common selectivity characteristics but exhibit a wide diversity in how they are gated open.Leak K(2P) K(+) channels TASK-2, TALK-1 and TALK-2 are gated open rembrandt - acquerello stucco by extracellular alkalinization.The mechanism for this alkalinization-dependent gating has been proposed to be the neutralization of the side c
