CHARACTERIZING THE SURGE BEHAVIOUR AND ASSOCIATED ICE-DAMMED LAKE EVOLUTION OF THE KYAGAR GLACIER IN THE KARAKORAM

Characterizing the surge behaviour and associated ice-dammed lake evolution of the Kyagar Glacier in the Karakoram

Glacier surges are prevalent in the Karakoram and occasionally threaten local residents by inundating land and initiating mass movement events.The Kyagar Glacier is well known for its surge history, and in particular its frequent blocking of the downstream valley, leading to a series of high-magnitude glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).Although t

A novel Fas ligand plays an important role in cell apoptosis of Crassostrea hongkongensis: molecular cloning, expression profiles and functional identification of ChFasL

BackgroundApoptosis regulates normal development, homeostasis, immune tolerance and response to environmental stress by eliminating unwanted or diseased cells, and plays a key role in non-specific immunity of invertebrates.The exogenous pathway mediated by death receptors and death ligands is a very important pathway for cell apoptosis.Death ligand
