Abstract Species delimitation remains a significant challenge when the diagnostic morphological characters are limited.Integrative taxonomy was applied to the genus Protaphorura (Collembola: Onychiuridae), which is one of most difficult soil animals to distinguish taxonomically.Three delimitation approaches (morphology, molecular markers and geogra
Abstract This study evaluates the links between seismic activity and sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the Red Sea from 2003 to 2020.We utilized the Egyptian National Seismic Network (ENSN) and ISC-GEM Global Instrumental Earthquake Catalogue (version 9.0) provided by the Global Earthquake Risk Model (GEM) Organizations and the Moderate
IntroductionObjectively predicting speech intelligibility is important in both telecommunication and human-machine interaction systems.The classic method relies on signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) to successfully predict speech intelligibility.One exception is clear speech, in which a talker intentionally articulates as if speaking to someone who has h
Abstract Accumulating evidence suggests that dietary interventions might have potential to be used as a strategy to protect against age-related cognitive decline and neurodegeneration, as there are associations between some nutrients, food groups, dietary patterns, and some domains of cognition.In this study, we aimed to conduct the largest investi
