Dynamical Optimal Transport on Discrete Surfaces [PDF]
, 2018 We propose a technique for interpolating between probability distributions on discrete surfaces, based on the theory of optimal transport. Unlike previous attempts that use linear programming, our method is based on a dynamical formulation of quadratic ...

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Robinow syndrome is a rare developmental syndrome caused by variants in genes in Wnt signaling pathways. We previously showed that expression of patient variants in Dishevelled 1 (DVL1) in Drosophila and chicken models disrupts the balance of canonical and non‐canonical Wnt signaling.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

Current Distribution of the Nine-Banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) in the United States
DiversityThe nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus: hereafter armadillo) was first recorded in the United States (U.S.) in the state of Texas in 1849 and has been expanding its range northward and eastward since then.

LRRK2 as a Potential Disease‐Modifying Target in Sporadic Parkinson's Disease
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract A growing understanding of the role that leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) plays in Parkinson's disease (PD) supports continued focus on this enzyme as a therapeutic target for PD. Accumulating evidence suggests that there are phenotypic, neuropathologic, and biological similarities between sporadic PD (sPD) and familial forms in which ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera trap detection zones are critical for estimating wildlife population sizes, but data scarcity hampers accurate measurement. Through a meta‐level analysis and modeling approach, we show that biological, environmental and camera trap traits can reliably predict detection zones, and that fewer than 25 detection events can yield <15% error when ...

Smad7:β-catenin Complex Regulates Myogenic Gene Transcription [PDF]
, 2019 Recent reports indicate that Smad7 promotes skeletal muscle differentiation and growth. We previously documented a non-canonical role of nuclear Smad7 during myogenesis, independent of its role in TGF-β signaling.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.

Photometric Depth Super-Resolution
, 2019 This study explores the use of photometric techniques (shape-from-shading and uncalibrated photometric stereo) for upsampling the low-resolution depth map from an RGB-D sensor to the higher resolution of the companion RGB image. A single-shot variational

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...
