Integration of agent-based modeling (ABM) and life cycle assessment (LCA) has been proposed and applied as an approach to leverage the complementary strengths of both methods in assessing sustainability impacts within complex socio-technical systems. However, the existing literature has focused primarily on the technical “how” of integration, while the rationale, benefits and drawbacks have received less attention. In this for...
Enhanced material stock accounting by predicting building structures with morphological indicatorsNARA Subscribed
Material stocks (MS) represent the amount and composition of construction resources embodied in the built environment, and are critical to understanding long-term resource use, waste generation, and circular economy strategies. The reliability of building MS modelling depends largely on the appropriateness of archetype classification, with building structure being a key descriptor as it reflects the core materials used. Yet, s...
Promoting Research Excellence in Down Syndrome: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference of the Trisomy 21 Research SocietyNARA Subscribed
Down syndrome (DS), or trisomy 21 (T21), represents the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability worldwide and is associated with a wide range of medical, developmental, and neurodegenerative conditions, including a universal predisposition to early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Since its establishment in 2014, the Trisomy 21 Research Society (T21RS) has provided a global forum for advancing DS research across di...
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...
Importance of phenomena expected to modify population trends of a threatened saltmarsh breeding bird communityNARA Subscribed
Salt marshes in the northeastern United States support several specialized breeding bird species that are threatened by sea level rise (SLR) and coastal development, processes that drive habitat change and fragmentation. There have been rapid, widespread declines in some species, but mechanisms driving population change and whether declines continue remain unclear. We examined the influence of phenomena expected to modify salt...
Glacial meltwater is a major contributor to stratification in polar waters, particularly in glacial fjords where it is contained by fjord topography. Stratification from glacial meltwater input impacts both light and nutrient availability, altering the timing and magnitude of phytoplankton blooms and peak in secondary productivity. Ice conditions can further impede near-surface circulation and trap low-density meltwater plumes...
Fish eye growth rate and vertical habitat: A maximum for eye growth rate investment in the mesopelagic zoneNARA Subscribed
Vision is one of the most important means by which animals perceive their environment. In the pelagic ocean, there is an enormous gradient of available light from the well‐lit surface to the deep bathypelagic zone. Fish inhabiting different depths of the pelagic ocean must adapt to these conditions. One of the ways to optimize sensitivity (i.e., the ability to detect light) in dim environments is to increase eye size, increasi...
Comparing the efficacy of two antibiotic cocktails in decontamination of cardiovascular tissuesNARA Subscribed
Cardiovascular allografts are essential for patients with severe cardiovascular diseases. Yet, microbial contamination of the grafts poses a life-threatening risk to recipients. Tissue banks utilize various decontamination methods during cardiovascular tissue processing, often involving antibiotic solutions. This study compares the efficacy of an in-house prepared antibiotic cocktail (tissue bank cocktail) and a commercially a...
Australian subtropical vegetation and wetland response to fire, climate and nutrient availability during the HoloceneNARA Subscribed
The iconic sand dune systems of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island), in southeastern Queensland, Australia, host numerous lakes and swamps containing organic‐rich sediment deposits that record changes in climate, fire and surrounding vegetation. Palaeoenvironmental reconstructions from individual locations can provide insights into changes in the environment, but determining the regional extent of these changes is seldom pos...
For cottontails (genus: Sylvilagus ), suitable resting cover provides essential food and protection, leading to higher survival rates. As such, resting cover is a common target for management actions. In the Northeastern United States, efforts to conserve New England cottontails ( Sylvilagus transitionalis ) have focused on habitat restoration, yet their resting cover needs remain uncharacterized. Current management practices...
Impacts of Weather Anomalies and Climate on Plant DiseaseNARA Subscribed
Predicting the effects of climate change on plant disease is critical for protecting ecosystems and food production. Here, we show how disease pressure responds to short‐term weather, historical climate and weather anomalies by compiling a global database (4339 plant–disease populations) of disease prevalence in both agricultural and wild plant systems. We hypothesised that weather and climate would play a larger role in disea...
Ocean warming and acidification may significantly alter the distribution and intensity of harmful algal blooms as well as their effects on marine food webs. Estimating such effects rely, in part, on understanding the physiological response of individual algal species to controlled laboratory simulations of climate change conditions. Here we report the physiological response of the harmful dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum t...
