High mountain lakes in the headwaters of the Syr Darya River serve as sensitive indicators of climate change in the region.

We evaluated the utility of temperature‐sensitive indicators (TIs) to monitor the surface temperature (ST) of RBC units and to explore whether TIs can help with compliance with the 30‐min rule by extrapolating or correlating temperature change with time.

A sensitivity analysis of the flood vulnerability to the socioeconomic indicators indicates that cultivated land is the most sensitive indicators, and the population and the construction areas have similar influences.

The study reveals prominent peaks from the MS signal, silt, Mg/Ca, Fe/Ca, Al/Ca, and Rare Earth Elements normalised by Continental Crust (REE/CC), which are sensitive indicators for Heinrich events (H1, H2, H3, H4, and H5) and ash layers.

Curriculum included nursing-sensitive indicators, sepsis management, complex tubes and drains, airway management, and emergency response.

Land use/land cover (LULC) change is often recognised as one of the most sensitive indicators of the interaction between humans and the natural environment contributing to soil erosion.

Considering the seasonal distribution of functional genes and their sensitivity to environmental factors, we speculated that the sulfate-reducing gene (dsrB), the methanogenic gene (mcrA) and the anammox gene (hzo) could be identified as sensitive indicators to indicate the seasonal heterogeneity of surface sediments in different river sections of the same river in the short term.

Thus, we suggest that flavonol and anthocyanin levels are the most sensitive indicators of adverse effects of H2O2 exposure in V.

In addition, scMEP and mMEP are more sensitive indicators of SCI than BBB scores.

Free-range chickens are regarded as sensitive indicators for environmental contamination with T.

It has been found that geometrical indicators: tube area (A), tube layout (Tl), tube pitch (TP) and tube diameter (TD) were found to be most sensitive indicators for enhancing exchange efficiency.

In conclusion, rainfall capacity, evaporation capacity and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) are sensitive indicators in a basically unaffected model, while the thicknesses of the coal seam and laterite are sensitive indicators in the other three EEGPs.

Additionally, a sensitivity analysis suggests that scale and otolith circuli spacing are insensitive indicators of size-selective mortality but the profile of adult survival with juvenile length provides information on the balance of size-dependent and size-independent mortality processes.

Plan curvature derived from 5m DEM was the most sensitive indicators for susceptibility to debris flows.

Purpose To investigate the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of acute angle closure (AAC) and to further explore the sensitive indicators for clinical diagnosis of acute angle closure secondary to lens subluxation (AACSLS) through qualitative and quantitative analysis of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) imaging features of eyes with AAC to provide a theoretical basis for the selection of treatment schemes.

Lakes are sensitive indicators of anthropogenic climate change and also respond to direct human activities.

Lakes are sensitive indicators of climate change.

Sulfide minerals occur in many types of extraterrestrial samples and are sensitive indicators of the conditions under which they formed or were subsequently altered.

Both peak height ratios are more sensitive indicators of the crystal quality than the width ratios of the same signals or the associated wavenumber shift in the T2g peak location.

Labile organic carbon pools including MBC, POC, and KMnO4-C are the most sensitive indicators for assessing soil quality after the adoption of alternate land use and management practices.

Background: Access to both valid and reliable nursing-sensitive indicators is currently limited in primary care.

B‐lines are sensitive indicators for interstitial oedema, but research is limited in terms of what is a ‘normal’ amount in healthy adults.

In alpine landscapes, high-elevation forests provide a unique environment for taking full advantage of epiphytic lichens as sensitive indicators of climate change and air pollution.
