Proxy-informed model estimates of Early Paleogene climateNARA Subscribed
This study investigates how future hydrodynamic and sediment transport may evolve in the Jade Bay, located in the southern Wadden Sea, by analyzing a historical baseline (1999–2003) as well as future projections (2090–2099) under the high-emission RCP8.5 scenario. We conducted 10-year simulations using the Semi-Implicit Cross-Scale Hydroscience Integrated System Model (SCHISM) for three distinct sea-level rise (SLR) trajectori...
Dynamic Bayesian networks for neural information flow: evaluation of continuous and discrete scoring metricsNARA Subscribed
Neural information flow describes the movement of activity between neurons or brain areas. Advances in experimental methods have allowed production of large amounts of observational data related to neuronal activity from the single-neuron to population level. Most current methods for analysing these data are based on pairwise comparison of activity, and fall short of reliably extracting neural information flow network structur...
Productivity, Technical Efficiency, and Sustainability of Mechanized Potato Production: A Case Study of Tillage Service Users in KenyaNARA Subscribed
Potato ( Solanum tuberosum ) has a considerable potential to contribute to income generation and food security for smallholder farmers in Africa, but sustainable farming practices are required to exploit this potential. Kenya is an interesting example, as it is a leading potato producer in sub-Saharan Africa, but productivity has been declining in recent years. While past studies on potential reasons have focused on the use of...
Carbon source and weather in coastal North CarolinaNARA Subscribed
The increasing frequency of extreme weather events, including tropical cyclones, is altering the delivery and quality of organic matter (OM) exported from landscapes to estuaries. However, the mechanisms regulating these shifts, especially during multi‐year climatic oscillations, remain poorly understood. We used a new fluorescence–based mixing model to estimate dissolved OM (DOM) sources to the Neuse River Estuary, during a d...
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...
Purpose Patients admitted with viral respiratory tract infections are at risk ofbacterial co-infections that may exacerbate disease severity. Detection of atypical bacteria requires specific laboratory diagnostic modality and specific antibiotics. Methods In this retrospective regionwide cohort study we included all patients admitted to a hospital in the Central Denmark Region with COVID-19, influenza A, influenza B, or Respir...
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...
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...
In 2023, more than half of olive harvests ( Olea europaea ) across Spain, Greece, and Türkiye were lost to drought. The same year late freeze destroyed 90% of the peach crop ( Prunus persica ) on the Georgia Piedmont and the apple crop ( Malus domestica ) in central New York, Vermont, and southern Quebec. Climate extremes now rank with the costliest threats to agriculture, but their role in forest recovery from diebacks that a...
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...
