TL;DR: Two new steroidal bisdesmosides, cambodracanosides A and B (1 and 2, resp.), were isolated from the fresh stems of Dracaena Cambodiana, together with seven known glycosides as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Two new steroidal bisdesmosides, cambodracanosides A and B (1 and 2, resp.), were isolated from the fresh stems of Dracaena cambodiana, together with seven known glycosides. The structures of the new saponins were elucidated oil the basis of detailed spectroscopic analyses, including 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques, and acidic hydrolysis.

TL;DR: A novel highly oxygenated norbisabolane sesquiterpene, namely phyllanthacidoid U (1) was isolated from the roots and stems of Phyllanthus acidus (L.) Skeels (Phyllanthaceae), collected from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan province, China, and elucidated by means of extensive spectroscopic analysis.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a 2 kyr continuous activity record of tropical cyclone (TC) activity from offshore eastern China and found that TC activity was synchronized with increased Asian dust emissions during the Little Ice Age.
Abstract: Instrumental records reveal that intense tropical cyclone (TC) activity varies with tropical sea surface temperature (SST) on annual-decadal scales. Drivers of intense TC activity at the centennial-millennial scale are less clear, due to the sparseness of pre-observational reconstructions. Here, we present a new 2 kyr continuous activity record of intense TCs from offshore eastern China. Our reconstruction indicates that this site witnessed enhanced TC activity during relatively warm periods, with a widespread increase in TC activity during the later part of the Little Ice Age. This latter observation reveals that enhanced TC activity was synchronized with increased Asian dust emissions during the Little Ice Age. TC activity was also lower in the late Roman Warm Period, when SST was higher but Asian dust emissions were lower than in the early phase. Such patterns suggest a centennial-millennial link between TC climatology and a combination of SST changes and Asian dust levels.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the chemistry, biosynthesis and occurrence of the compounds involved, namely the C6-C3-C6 flavonoids-anthocyanins, dihydrochalcones, Flavan-3-ols, flavanones, flavones, Flavonols and isoflavones, and the mechanisms underlying these processes are discussed.

TL;DR: This paper found that the most intensive glacier shrinkage is in the Himalayan region, whereas glacial retreat in the Pamir Plateau region is less apparent, due to changes in atmospheric circulations and precipitation patterns.
Abstract: Glacial melting in the Tibetan Plateau affects the water resources of millions of people. This study finds that—partly owing to changes in atmospheric circulations and precipitation patterns—the most intensive glacier shrinkage is in the Himalayan region, whereas glacial retreat in the Pamir Plateau region is less apparent.
