Cervicothoracic trans-spinal magnetic stimulation: effect of coil position and orientation on spinal motor evoked potentialsNARA Subscribed
Stroke is a leading cause of long-term adult disability, and over 80% of survivors have persistent upper limb motor impairment. Spinal electrical stimulation has shown therapeutic potential after neurological disorders. Post-stroke applications have largely relied on invasive implants that limit clinical adoption, and non-invasive high intensity electrical stimulation may be intolerable for those with residual sensory function...
The Missing Branches of the Bee Tree of Life: Addressing Global Darwinian Shortfalls and Their DriversNARA Subscribed
Aim Estimate the Darwinian shortfall (i.e., the lack of knowledge about phylogenetic relationships) of bees worldwide, as well as identify their drivers. Location Global. Taxon Bees (Hymenoptera, Anthophila). Methods We built phylogenies for over 12,000 bee species, combining the most comprehensive phylogeny and an algorithm with random solutions to insert missing lineages. The Darwinian shortfall was quantified as the Phyloge...
Strongly pagophilic, the Adélie penguin Pygoscelis adeliae has long been designated a sea ice obligate species, which included the requirement to find pack ice on which to molt. However, observations have accumulated over the years to question this attribute; therefore, we investigated this aspect of the species’ natural history strategy through a synthesis of published, unpublished, and historical records obtained Antarctic-w...
Monitoring evapotranspiration to link agricultural water use with crop yield at sub-field scalesNARA Subscribed
Purpose Scientists and producers have pursued precision agriculture to increase yields and limit environmental impacts. Applying precision agriculture concepts has not been straightforward, however, because complex interactions between soil and weather govern crop growth. We hypothesize that evapotranspiration (ET) is a single metric that captures interactions between plant status, soil, topography, and weather and can be used...
Multimorbidity as a predictor of mortality in companion dogsNARA Subscribed
Predictive validation of the repeated low-dose reserpine rodent model of parkinsonismNARA Subscribed
L-DOPA (LD) is the gold-standard treatment of motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD), conventionally used to prove the predictive value of PD animal models. This study aimed to investigate the predictive validity of an adaptation of the conventional reserpine model of PD: the repeated low-dose reserpine administration in rodents, which promotes progressive motor impairment in catalepsy, vacuous chewing behavior tests, and...
A machine learning framework for California vineyard water status monitoring using sUAS Imagery and short-term meteorological dataNARA Subscribed
Efficient irrigation management is essential for sustainable crop production under increasing temperatures and tightening water supplies. In vineyards, water status significantly influences vine growth, yield, and fruit quality, and deficit irrigation is often used to impose controlled stress while avoiding damaging levels of water limitation. This creates a practical need for routine, field-scale monitoring of vine water stat...
3D Texture Analysis of the Corpus Callosum in T1-Weighted MR Images of Children with a Traumatic Brain InjuryNARA Subscribed
Investigating traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in the developing brain is a challenging task. The superposition of an injury to the normal development trajectory can lead to brain impairments which are not obvious at diagnosis. T1-weighted MRI, acquired routinely post-injury, has the potential to better inform diagnosis, but is limited by qualitative assessment by radiologists. Using T1-weighted volume images, we investigated th...
Evapotranspiration Everywhere, All the Time: Towards a Unified View From Earth ObservationNARA Subscribed
Scientists want to know everything, everywhere, and all the time. This is particularly true in Earth science, where we seek to understand processes that span from the molecular to the planetary scale in how the world works, how it affects us, and how we impact it—especially the water cycle. Evapotranspiration (ET) was the last component to be measured in closing the water cycle: for decades, closing the water budget meant addi...
