The effect of different soil databases on parameter and prediction uncertainty quantification for hydrological modellingNARA Subscribed
Hydrologic models often exhibit inaccuracies in representing key hydrological fluxes due to uncertainties arising from the necessary simplification of complex processes and input data. Soil databases, commonly used in hydrological models, vary in format, resolution, and parameter range, leading to diverse approaches for generating soil inputs in process-based models. This study employs both linear (FOSM) and non-linear (iES) m...
Physical Fitness of Thoroughbred Horse Racing JockeysNARA Subscribed
Purpose Thoroughbred racing jockeys compete at maximum physiological capacity in a sport with a high risk of falls and injury. A greater understanding of the physical capacities determining jockey performance may lead to minimum physical performance parameters and corrective interventions to improve jockey fitness and performance and reduce jockey and horse injury. The aim of this study was to develop appropriate physical test...
The influence of surface–groundwater interactions on nutrient dynamics in urban in-channel treatment systemsNARA Subscribed
In-channel water treatment systems remove excess nutrients through biological, chemical, and physical processes associated with the hyporheic zone. However, the impact of surface and groundwater interactions on these treatment processes is poorly understood. This research aims to assess the influence of varying groundwater conditions (neutral, drainage water, and groundwater seepage) and different bed sediment hydraulic conduc...
Transformation of nitrogen compounds in a regenerated urban drainage stream in New ZealandNARA Subscribed
Haytons Stream, a low laying stormwater and groundwater‐fed stream located in Christchurch, New Zealand, contains some of the highest levels of ammoniacal nitrogen and oxidised nitrogen in the country. To improve its water quality, the watercourse was reconditioned by adding retention ponds and riverbank riparian plants. The objective of this study was to assess the spatial and temporal changes in nitrogen species and concentr...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Critical land change information enhances the understanding of carbon balance in the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Large‐scale terrestrial carbon (C) estimating studies using methods such as atmospheric inversion, biogeochemical modeling, and field inventories have produced different results. The goal of this study was to integrate fine‐scale processes including land use and land cover change into a large‐scale ecosystem framework. We analyzed the terrestrial C budget of the conterminous United States from 1971 to 2015 at 1‐km resolution u...
Landscape fire is a key but poorly understood component of the global carbon cycle. Predicting biomass consumption by fire at large spatial scales is essential to understanding carbon dynamics and hence how fire management can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase ecosystem carbon storage. An Australia‐wide field‐based survey (at 113 locations) across large‐scale macroecological gradients (climate, productivity and fire...
Evaluating the effects of climate change in the southern Benguela upwelling system using the Atlantis modelling frameworkNARA Subscribed
The ocean is affected by multiple anthropogenic stressors including climate change, the effects of which are already evident in many ocean ecosystems. The ABAC uS v2 end‐to‐end model together with climate projections from the NEMO ‐ MEDUSA 2.0 model were used to evaluate the effects of fishing, warming and horizontal and vertical mixing on the southern Benguela upwelling system. Of the drivers examined in this study, warming h...
