Cell alignment on novel polymeric micro-hollow fiber membranes for neural and musculoskeletal tissue engineeringNARA Subscribed
Precise positioning and alignment of specific cell types, such as those in the central nervous system and the muscular system, is essential for their functional integration, their migration, and proliferation in vivo. Cell alignment in physiologically relevant tissue models and constructs is challenging to reproduce in vitro unless a three-dimensional scaffold is used. This study demonstrates that cell alignment can be guided...
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...
The ocean plays an essential role in regulating Earth’s climate, influencing weather conditions, providing sustenance for large populations, moderating anthropogenic climate change, encompassing massive biodiversity, and sustaining the global economy. Human activities are changing the oceans, stressing ocean health, threatening the critical services the ocean provides to society, with significant consequences for human well-be...
The thermal expansion of the clinopyroxene and garnet polymorphs of Na2MgSi5O12 determined by X-ray powder diffractionNARA Subscribed
The temperature dependence of the unit-cell parameters of synthetic Na(Mg 0.5 Si 0.5 )Si 2 O 6 clinopyroxene and Na 2 MgSi 5 O 12 garnet were measured, at atmospheric pressure, using X-ray powder diffraction, from 40 K up to their decomposition temperatures (673 K and 793 K respectively). At 300 K the cell parameters were found to be: (i) a = 9.4073(3) Å, b = 8.6487(3) Å, c = 5.2685(2) Å, β = 108.113(2)°, V = 407.41(3) Å 3 and...
Quantifying Virtual Field Trip EfficiencyNARA Subscribed
The efficiency of virtual field trips (VFTs) compared to their physical counterparts, is often regarded as one of their key benefits. Virtual field trips are typically more time, cost and environmentally efficient and logistically easier to plan and execute. This is largely due to the lack of travel, however, the nature of these efficiencies, which is essential for deciding whether a trip should be virtual, physical or blended...
Construction of relatedness matrices in autopolyploid populations using low-depth high-throughput sequencing dataNARA Subscribed
Key message An improved estimator of genomic relatedness using low-depth high-throughput sequencing data for autopolyploids is developed. Its outputs strongly correlate with SNP array-based estimates and are available in the package GUSrelate. Abstract High-throughput sequencing (HTS) methods have reduced sequencing costs and resources compared to array-based tools, facilitating the investigation of many non-model polyploid sp...
