Total plasma N-glycomic patterns of COVID-19 diseaseNARA Subscribed
Total plasma N -glycans alter in disease states, with few studies focused on COVID-19. A discovery cohort of 310 COVID-19 patients, replicated with 97 COVID-19 patients and tested with 100 COVID-19 patients, was used to unearth the N -glycans capable of distinguishing infection, as well as prognosis of intensive care unit (ICU) admission and mortality. All significant bisected glycans were decreased in patients compared to con...
Remote Spectral Detection of Canopy Functional Dimensions Varying Within and Across Forest TypesNARA Subscribed
Global trait axes reveal overarching dimensions of plant functional variation. However, how these dimensions are spatially organized within and across forest types remains unclear. We combined drone‐based full‐range imaging spectroscopy with crown‐level measurements of 16 physiological, morphological and biochemical traits across temperate, subtropical and tropical forests in China to enable spatially‐explicit trait mapping. T...
Seasonal Variability of Residence Time and Ocean Exchange in a Semi-enclosed Gulf in Northwestern AustraliaNARA Subscribed
Coastal water exchange with the open ocean plays a key role in regulating the transport and distribution of nutrients, heat, pollutants, suspended sediments and organisms in semi-enclosed systems. In this study, we quantify coastal water exchange for Exmouth Gulf (Australian North West Shelf), a globally significant water body adjacent to the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area. We use a high-resolution (200 m) hydrodynamic mod...
The recreational fishery for pollack ( Pollachius pollachius ) in the northeast Atlantic is impacted by the species' high sensitivity to barotrauma. When captured at depth and brought to the surface, gas expansion within the peritoneal cavity can cause a variety of injuries and hinder release. Via an experimental weighted cage, this study evaluated the efficacy of releasing Pollack at depth as a barotrauma mitigation strategy....
Baleen Whale Occurrence in the Waters Off Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. From 2001 to 2019NARA Subscribed
Eighteen years of visual survey and strandings data were used to describe baleen whale occurrence along the continental shelf of Virginia and North Carolina, U.S.A. This region experiences heavy anthropogenic use, which poses risks for mortality and injury to baleen whales. Between 2001 and 2019, six species of baleen whales were recorded, and whales occurred year‐round. The total number of (on‐ and off‐effort) sightings and s...
Diagnosing Linearity Along the Carbon Cascade in Terrestrial Biosphere Models and ObservationsNARA Subscribed
Elevated carbon dioxide (eCO 2 ) acts as a fertiliser for photosynthesis, driving an increase in gross primary production (GPP). However, it is unclear how effectively increased GPP propagates along the ‘carbon (C) cascade’ to increase net primary production (NPP) and vegetation C stocks ( C veg ) in different plant compartments. Vegetation models were criticised for being overly sensitive to photosynthesis (source‐driven), ne...
