Day-to-day variability and method agreement of sweat sodium concentration during pilocarpine iontophoresis and exerciseNARA Subscribed
Purpose Sweat sodium testing is increasingly used to estimate electrolyte losses during exercise; however, the reliability of sweat sodium assessment and the influence of methodological factors remain unclear. We evaluated the day-to-day variability and agreement between common sweat induction, collection, and analytical approaches, including pilocarpine iontophoresis and exercise-induced sweating. Methods Twenty physically ac...
Dryland ecosystems cover 41% of Earth's land surfaces, account for 44% of cultivated lands and 60% of food sources, and make large contributions to the global water and carbon cycles. However, these ecosystems are experiencing unprecedented extremes including heatwaves, floods, and droughts as well as hotter temperatures and often declining water resource availability. These ecosystems are some of the most challenging to monit...
Metabolic Strategies Under Heat Stress in Non‐Adapted and High‐Temperature‐Adapted Lines of a Marine DiatomNARA Subscribed
In the last decade, numerous laboratory experiments have demonstrated that when marine phytoplankton are exposed to thermal stress, they can evolve high temperature tolerance in a short time (months). This evolutionary potential may ensure the persistence of marine phytoplankton species under current and future global warming. However, the effect of such adaptation on the phytoplankton's interaction with the environment and ot...
A climate region classification for California’s warm season: apparent temperature clustering to support heat-health epidemiologyNARA Subscribed
Climate classification enhances our understanding of regional climate patterns and enables a science-based framework for assessing environmental and public health relationships. Prior climate classification systems are limited in their ability to capture variation across dynamic subclimates, particularly in the context of complex topographical, elevation, and meteorological characteristics such as California, United States. In...
Shear Stress Initiates Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition in Endocardial Endothelial CellsNARA Subscribed
Discrete subaortic stenosis (DSS) is a congenital heart disease in which a fibrotic membrane forms below the aortic valve; the underlying cellular mechanisms are currently unknown. Since an elevated pressure gradient in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) is a distinguishing feature of DSS, it is hypothesized that the membrane formation is caused by elevated wall shear stress applied to the endocardial endothelial cells...
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...
