The uplift of different parts of the Tibetan Plateau caused by the collision,subduction and thickening of the Indian-Eurasian conti-nent is considered to be the most significant landform change of Asia in the last 50 Ma.The plateau uplift led to elevation and topo-graphical changes in neighboring areas and created diversified niches for the distribution and migration of plants and animals.The resultant high mountains controlled the South Asian monsoon,preventing the monsoon from crossing the plateau and reaching the hinterland of Asia.The mountains trap the moisture brought by the monsoon,creating the “Asian Water Tower”,thus giving birth to large rivers such as the Yangtze River,Yellow River,Ganges River,and Indus River,as well as providing water for the survival and development of more than 1.4 billion people in the basins today.

First evidence of a structure in the J/ψ∧ invariant mass distribution is obtained from an amplitude anal-ysis of Ξ-b → J/ψ∧K-decays.The observed structure is consistent with being due to a charmonium pen-taquark with strangeness with a significance of 3.1
Zhang et al.[1] reported the first direct detection of the natural supercritical CO2 (scCO2;critical point:31.1 ℃ and 72.9 atm) in a deep-sea hydrothermal system,In their study,they measured in situ the Raman bands of scCO2 bubbling from an approximately
When elemental iron is cooled from high temperatures,mag-netic moments carried by its d-electrons begin a continuous tran-sition to a state of parallel aligned moments below its Curie temperature Tc of about 1040 K.As established in the mid-1900s,the stat
Sulfur dioxide(SO2)was previously considered only as air pol-lutant.In 2008,our group first detected the endogenous SO2 gener-ating enzymes as well as its generating pathway in cardiovascular system[1].Our recent studies have shown that endogenous SO2 pla
Nitrogen is a limiting element for all living organisms,including plants grown in the wild and in agriculture.A group of plants,lar-gely legumes,have developed strategies to “grab” free atmospheric nitrogen by symbiotically housing nitrogen-fixing bacteri
in this work,we investigate the SU(3)flavor symmetry,neavy quark spin symmetry and their breaking effects in the di-meson systems.We prove the existence of the[(D)*sD*s]0++,[(D)*sDs/(D)sD*s]1+-,and[(D)*sD*s]1+-bound states as the consequence of two prereq
Glycerol is a simple polyhydroxy-three-carbon compound that is highly hydrophilic and is considered a central intermediate metabolite for cellular metabolism.It is found at the crossroads among several metabolic pathways,such as glycolysis and gluco-neoge
The amygdala is an evolutionarily conserved brain region found in vertebrates.Accumulated pieces of evidence over the past few decades strongly suggest that the amygdala is involved in a wide range of behavioral responses,including social,aggressive,and p
The Tibetan Plateau is characterized by extreme weather,harsh environment,and high sensitivity to climate warming and human activities[1].Once degraded,it is difficult to rehabilitate the ecosystems in this region because of the unique environment.Con-seq
The Loess Plateau (LP) is an ecologically fragile region due to its sensitivities to climate variations and anthropogenic influences [1].The Chinese government recognized the ecological significance of the LP and implemented a series of ecological restora
