Precision measurement of the Ds*+-Ds+ meson mass differenceNARA Subscribed
A Framework for Collecting Optimal Information in Forest Sampling for Accurate Timberland ValuationNARA Subscribed
Sampling is a widespread practice used to generate estimates of common forest parameters. Growth and yield models use these estimates to generate projections necessary for timber management decisions. Informed by a case study in Virginia, USA, we demonstrate through simulation that an optimal amount of information exists for minimizing the difference between the true net present value (NPV) without incurring cost for the infor...
Exposure to chemical pollutants can alter the rate and genome‐wide distribution of germline mutations. However, studies measuring the effects of chemical exposure on mutation rates and spectra have not considered the ecological and evolutionary backgrounds of the studied genotypes, which could influence the rates and patterns of germline mutations in altered environments, for example, chemical pollution. Utilising a study of n...
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...
Oyster Size Distributions Vary Across Time and Space in the Tampa Bay Estuary, 250–2024 ceNARA Subscribed
Aim Restoration benchmarks often assume an undisturbed historic range of variability, if they include historic information at all. However, recent research highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of shifting baselines and how to best incorporate past variabilities in modern management. We investigate trends in oyster size through time (ca. 250–2024 ce ) and space (ca. 1000 km 2 ) in the Tampa Bay Estuary to unders...
The plant ontology of cell typesNARA Subscribed
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...
Micro‐Refuges or Ecological Traps: Context‐Dependent Effects of Rock Pools on Intertidal Biodiversity Across LatitudesNARA Subscribed
Aim We investigated how local‐scale environmental heterogeneity influences biodiversity patterns across broad biogeographic gradients, using intertidal microhabitats as a model system within one of the most environmentally stressful ecosystems on Earth. Location Intertidal habitats at 26 locations (two rocky shore sites per location) across six continents, spanning 98° of latitude (38°S to 60°N). Time Period 2019–2022. Major T...
The Critical Role of Coefficients: Updating Allometric Normalisation Constants for Modern Ecology and ModellingNARA Subscribed
Allometry, the scaling of traits or biological rates with body mass, is central to a wide range of ecological research including dynamic food web modelling. There has been extensive focus on exponents (3/4 scaling laws), but little on the coefficients (normalisation constants). Coefficients that have been used since 2006 are derived from limited data and dated methodologies. Here, we compiled a data set of over 1000 genera wit...
Water scarcity and pollution are significant global challenges impacting human health, the environment, and economic development. Addressing these issues is a priority under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Despite progress, research for sustainable approaches in water resource management continues to evolve. This study investigates the role of nanotechnology in the water sector, focusing on its applications i...
