Application of random forest modeling to evaluate groundwater storage changes in the Breede Water Management Area, South AfricaNARA Subscribed
Monitoring groundwater storage anomalies (GWSA) at high spatial resolutions is critical for sustainable water resource management and hydrological applications. The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite provides unique insights into changes in terrestrial water storage but is limited by its coarse spatial resolution. In this study, GRACE observations, in situ groundwater levels, and Global Land Data Assimil...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...
Quantifying animal movements is necessary for answering a wide array of research questions in ecology and conservation biology. Consequently, ecologists have made considerable efforts to identify the best way to estimate an animal's home range, and many methods of estimating home ranges have arisen over the past half a century. Most of these methods fall into two distinct categories of estimators that have only recently been d...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
Estimating water storage change from GRACE satellite data over the Breede Water Management Area, Western Cape, South AfricaNARA Subscribed
Groundwater levels in the Breede Water Management Area (WMA) have steadily declined, driven by climatic extremes and anthropogenic pressures. The lack of representative aquifer storage parameter values, inadequate groundwater monitoring wells, and inconsistent observation networks complicate the assessment of groundwater storage changes. This study employs GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) satellite data, complem...
