Cotton strips as a model substrate for analysis of leaf‐litter‐colonizing microbial assemblages in streams

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Leaf‐litter decomposition is a key indicator of the functional integrity of stream ecosystems and cotton strips have been employed as a standard substrate for quantification of litter‐decomposition rates in streams across the globe. Cotton strips also offer a standardized method for assessing structural integrity of stream microbial ...

Intelligent Optimization of Waypoints on the Great Ellipse Routes for Arctic Navigation and Segmental Safety Assessment

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
A great ellipse route (GER), as one of the fundamental routes for ocean voyages, directly influences the actual voyage distance and the complexity of vessel maneuvering through the location and number of its waypoints.

Plasma Lipid Remodeling across Preclinical Burden, Disease Onset, and Early Motor Severity in Huntington's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Huntington's disease (HD) evolves silently for years before motor onset, yet the systemic metabolic alterations accompanying cumulative exposure to mutant huntingtin and disease progression remain poorly understood.

Reflections, perceptions and practices of spearfishing among Ulithian communities

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Spearfishing is a common and effective subsistence fishing method in coral reef‐dependent communities. Although its ecological impacts have been widely studied, spearfishing's sociocultural dimensions have received less attention despite its direct impacts on both reef and reef‐dependent communities.

Urinary Soluble Collagen Levels Are Associated With Moderate/Severe LUTS

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Expansion of the stromal compartment of the prostate concurrent with fibroblast activation and increased collagenization is now recognized as a pathobiology likely contributing to Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS). However, approaches to quantitatively and, ideally, non‐invasively, assess prostatic collagenization in vivo are not ...

Optimal irradiation parameters for the development of the sterile insect technique in the seedcorn maggot Delia platura (Diptera: Anthomyiidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
X‐ray irradiation of Delia platura pupae showed that 20 Gy induces high sterility while maintaining male quality and competitiveness, establishing optimal parameters for sterile insect technique implementation in North America. Abstract BACKGROUND The seedcorn maggot, Delia platura Meigen (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), is a sporadic but economically ...

Using microwave imager observations to improve the ocean temperature in a coupled NWP system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A recent upgrade to the ECMWF IFS has implemented outer‐loop coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean. This work uses this method to pass ocean skin temperature estimates derived from satellite‐borne microwave imagers to the ocean data assimilation system; the updated ocean state is then passed back to the atmospheric system.

Evolution of sea fog based on meteorological and oceanographic observations during FATIMA Yellow Sea campaign

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study presents a conceptual framework linking sea‐water temperature Tw gradients to the formation and persistence of sea fog in the southeastern Yellow Sea. Over cold waters maintained by tidal mixing, downward latent heat flux enhances lower‐level stability and sustains persistent sea fog, whereas over warmer waters, upward fluxes and thermal ...

Sea ice choke points reduce the length of the shipping season in the Northwest Passage

Communications Earth & Environment
Arctic sea ice has shifted from a perennial (older, thicker ice) to a seasonal (younger, thinner) ice regime, leading to the increasingly common belief that shipping through Canada’s Northwest Passage is becoming more viable.

Evaluation and assimilation of Arctic Weather Satellite data in the AROME‐Arctic forecast system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The Arctic Weather Satellite (AWS), launched in August 2024, is a prototype for the future EPS–Sterna constellation of small satellites carrying an innovative microwave sounder. We present the first assessment of AWS in the regional AROME‐Arctic numerical weather prediction system, covering post‐launch calibration results and the impact of AWS ...
