TL;DR: In this article, the global stability, the boundedness character, and the periodic nature of the positive solutions of the difference equation were studied, where α ∈ [0, ∞] and the initial conditionsx−−1andx0 are arbitrary positive real numbers.

TL;DR: In this paper, rare earths (RE) in basalts erupted within the rift of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge show a progressive change from light-RE enriched to depleted patterns from the Azores Platform (40°N) down to 33°30′N.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper examined impacts of digital inclusive finance on household consumption and explored its mechanisms, finding that digital finance mainly promoted the recurring household expenditures rather than the non-recurring expenditures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mass spectrum of charged argon clusters generated in a low-temperature free jet expansion is described, which can be understood in terms of a simplified competing-lattice model of charged-cluster structure.
Abstract: We describe measurements of the mass spectrum of charged argon clusters generated in a low-temperature free jet expansion. It contains detailed intensity variations which can be understood in terms of a simplified competing-lattice model of charged-cluster structure.

TL;DR: The definition of hypoxia and critical oxygen levels are discussed, the capacity for, and prevalence of, metabolic suppression as a response to temporary residence in OMZs are discussed and the possible consequences of climate change on OMZ ecology are discussed.
Abstract: Summary The survival of oceanic organisms in oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) depends on their total oxygen demand and the capacities for oxygen extraction and transport, anaerobic ATP production and metabolic suppression. Anaerobic metabolism and metabolic suppression are required for daytime forays into the most extreme OMZs. Critical oxygen partial pressures are, within a range, evolved to match the minimum oxygen level to which a species is exposed. This fact demands that low oxygen habitats be defined by the biological response to low oxygen rather than by some arbitrary oxygen concentration. A broad comparative analysis of oxygen tolerance facilitates the identification of two oxygen thresholds that may prove useful for policy makers as OMZs expand due to climate change. Between these thresholds, specific physiological adaptations to low oxygen are required of virtually all species. The lower threshold represents a limit to evolved oxygen extraction capacity. Climate change that pushes oxygen concentrations below the lower threshold (∼0.8 kPa) will certainly result in a transition from an ecosystem dominated by a diverse midwater fauna to one dominated by diel migrant biota that must return to surface waters at night. Animal physiology and, in particular, the response of animals to expanding hypoxia, is a critical, but understudied, component of biogeochemical cycles and oceanic ecology. Here, I discuss the definition of hypoxia and critical oxygen levels, review adaptations of animals to OMZs and discuss the capacity for, and prevalence of, metabolic suppression as a response to temporary residence in OMZs and the possible consequences of climate change on OMZ ecology.
