Cattle behavior classification using Hidden Markov ModelsNARA Subscribed
Teaching wetlands in a global context requires a pedagogical shift from local field observations to planetary systems analysis. This study proposes a teaching approach that integrates wetlands, analytical tools, policy frameworks, and a global purpose, which can be used in Earth science education. Laboratory exercise was developed and tested using wetlands (including a wetland of international importance and a Ramsar site: Con...
Supplemental Application of Potassium Acetate Increased Yield of Mesa Russet Potatoes in Sandy Loam Soil with High Potassium LevelsNARA Subscribed
Potato responses to potassium (K) fertilizer have sometimes been reported in high K soils. This study was designed to investigate the effects of supplemental application of K acetate, a new potassium fertilizer source, to KCl, on the production of Mesa Russet potatoes at the San Luis Valley of Colorado, USA. Treatments included (1) the control treatment where no K fertilizer was applied, (2) application of KCl pre-plant (KCl P...
Tide gauges have been critical sources for sea level research, enabling the development of tidal theory and an understanding of local variations that occur across the global oceans. Tides play important roles in a variety of oceanographic and geodetic applications, and characterizing their spatial variability is valuable for applications ranging from fishing to flood risk management. This manuscript presents the coastal charac...
The San Joaquin Valley is one of the most intensive oil and gas and agricultural production regions of the United States, yet the regional groundwater salinity distribution is not well defined, particularly near the western margin of the valley where salinity is highly variable. Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveys were conducted to improve the understanding of the three-dimensional variations in groundwater salinity in the...
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...
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...
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...
Spatial Portfolios in Coral Metapopulations Are Shaped by Spatiotemporal Asynchrony in Environmental ConditionsNARA Subscribed
Identifying the drivers and timescales of population synchrony is critical for understanding metapopulation resilience. Using wavelet analyses of a 19‐year coral community timeseries from Moorea, French Polynesia, we quantified timescale‐specific population synchrony in four common coral genera and evaluated the predictors of spatial portfolio effects. We detected synchrony within genera associated with synchrony in degree hea...
Actionable Steps to Address Disparities in Healthcare Among US Patients With Multiple Myeloma: A Patient PerspectiveNARA Subscribed
Patients with multiple myeloma (MM), patient advocates, healthcare providers (HCPs), and industry sponsors gathered at 2 MM Health Equity Summits to discuss their experiences and perspectives on MM healthcare inequities in the US. Eight topics relevant to the patient experience were identified at the first summit, prioritized by participant survey, and aligned on by the entire group. Two topics were then selected for priority...
