Land Use Planning and Urban Flood Resilience: A GIS-Based Assessment of Master Plan for Delhi in the National Capital Territory of India
Abstract: Rapid and unplanned urbanisation replacing the natural flood absorbing formations has caused socio-economic disruption and vulnerability. Urban flooding has become a major problem in India’s National Capital Region. Unchecked urban growth in the lowlands exacerbates flooding and inadequate drainage systems are unable to cope with the rising rainfall. We need to move from a focus on disaster response to managing floods and building flood resilience. Land use planning is an …

Pharmacoepigenomics of Replication Timing: How Anti- Cancer Drugs Reshape Chromatin Domains and Mutational Landscapes.
Abstract: DNA replication timing serves as a fundamental epigenetic feature that organizes genome function during the cell cycle (3), while anti-cancer drugs profoundly alter this process to disrupt tumor growth(4). These agents target chromatin architecture, shifting replication domains and reshaping mutational patterns critical for cancer evolution (1,5). DNA replication timing (RT) domains serve as dynamic epigenetic organizers, partitioning the genome into early- and late-replicating regions that correlate with chromatin states, gene …

Persistent Atmospheric and Ecosystem Impacts of Enteric Methane Emissions from Intensive Livestock Production Systems
Abstract: Enteric methane emissions from intensive livestock production systems exert a significant long-lasting influence on atmospheric stability and ecosystem integrity. Recent observations confirm that global methane emissions continued to rise through the early 2020s, with total emissions exceeding 620 teragrams per year by 2024, driven by expanding ruminant production and associated feed systems. Anthropogenic sources accounted for more than 330 teragrams per year, reflecting sustained growth in agricultural and fossil fuel …

Physiographic, Climatic, and Hydrogeological Determinants of Urban Flooding in Bhopal: A Spatial Assessment
Abstract: Bhopal, capital city of Madhya Pradesh, is uniquely shaped by hilly terrain, lake systems, and complex hydrogeological characteristics, which historically supported efficient natural drainage. However, rapid urbanization, encroachment, and alterations in land use have increasingly disrupted these natural systems, amplifying the city’s susceptibility to urban flooding. The city’s physiography, defined by five major hills, undulating slopes, and a network of natural drainage channels, directs runoff toward low-lying zones that frequently …
