Sensitivity analysis of modeled soil water dynamics within variable rate irrigation zones for winter wheatNARA Subscribed
Understanding within-field and season variability of soil water supply and crop water stress is critical for successful variable-rate irrigation (VRI) management. The objectives of this study were to (1) assess within-field variability of field capacity (FC), wilting point (WP), total available water (TAW), and initial soil volumetric water content (VWC init ); (2) validate a water balance model based on the American Society o...
“Going Flat” After Mastectomy: A Social Media Analysis of Patient Perspectives and Educational NeedsNARA Subscribed
Aesthetic flat closure (AFC) is a surgical option following mastectomy that aims to create a smooth chest wall. Although formally recognized by the National Cancer Institute in 2020, patients continue to report challenges in accessing AFC. Social media platforms may serve as an important source of support and education for patients considering this option. We characterized patient perspectives and experiences related to AFC th...
The Asia region harbors exceptional chondrichthyan (shark, ray, and chimaera) diversity but faces intense fishing pressure. The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) process provides a collaborative, evidence-based framework to identify critical habitats and inform spatial management. We assessed ISRAs across the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, and the Northwest Pacific to characterize their extent, ecological significance, and...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
A Weather Regime‐Based Analysis of Freezing Rain Trends in a Warmer Climate for Eastern North AmericaNARA Subscribed
Freezing rain is a common winter weather hazard across eastern North America, resulting in damage and disruption to energy utilities, transportation, and the economy. Due to its short lasting and self‐limiting nature, observational gaps, and the need for high temporal and spatial resolution model output, this phase type is less studied in the context of climate change. Through the application of freezing rain regimes identifie...
Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species by assessing the vulnerability of 256 marine megafauna species to 23 at‐sea threat...
Public stigma is a society’s negative attitude toward a person or groups of people, self-stigma relates to the internalisation of these negative attitudes, and affiliate stigma is experienced by those associated with a stigmatised group. Both autism and genetic testing results can be stigmatised. This scoping review explored relationships between genetic testing and stigma in autism, to understand any perceived positive or neg...

Central blood pressure and arterial stiffness among ultramarathon runners across the lifespanNARA Subscribed
Aim Regular exercise is beneficial, but more exercise may not always benefit cardiovascular health (extreme exercise hypothesis). This is concerning, because ultramarathon participation is growing, but previous work on cardiovascular health among ultramarathon runners is equivocal. Prior work has not examined this population’s age-related differences in prognostic cardiovascular health metrics. Purpose Measure brachial and cen...
Identifying potential palaeolithic artificial memory systems via Spatial statistics: Implications for the origin of quantificationNARA Subscribed
Artificial Memory Systems (AMSs) are tools that allow for the storage and retrieval of coded information beyond the physical body, ranging from computers and writing systems to tallying sticks. Current scientific knowledge suggests humans are the only species to manufacture and use these tools. While a number of artifacts dating back to the Middle Paleolithic have been considered to be early instances of AMS, conclusive and sy...
Procedural Variation May Contribute to 6-Minute Walk Distance Variability in Real-World Pediatric Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension StudyNARA Subscribed
The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a common method to assess submaximal exercise capacity in children and adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and other chronic diseases. There is no guideline specifically for 6MWT in children. In this observational pilot study, we evaluated the impact of procedural variations on the outcome of the 6MWT in the real-world clinical setting at pediatric PAH programs. We collected 6MW...
