Blind Estimation Versus Direct Measurement of the Arterial Input Function in Dynamic Contrast‐Enhanced MRI of the Breast

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Purpose Accurate arterial input functions (AIFs) are essential for quantitative dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) MRI, yet direct measurement is challenging and population‐averaged AIFs neglect patient‐specific variability. Blind deconvolution provides an alternative by estimating patient‐specific AIFs directly from tissue data, up to a scale factor ...

SimulScan and Partial Least Squares: Visualizing Swallowing Through Functional and Dynamic Imaging Correlations

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Swallowing involves the precise coordination of muscles and brain areas and can be disrupted in a variety of neurological conditions. Current methods to visualize swallowing cannot examine both the biomechanics and brain activity associated with specific swallowing events.

Both density‐ and frequency‐dependent effects determine plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
We tested the hypothesis that both density‐ and frequency‐dependent interactions play important roles in determining plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem at several levels of available nitrogen. Plant growth was measured using the pin‐point method in a five‐block experiment with four nitrogen levels.

From the brink of extinction to regulation: northern Europe's white‐tailed eagles now face density dependence and climate constraints after rapid population growth

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Population growth reflects the combined influence of regulation and density‐independent factors operating through demographic processes. Under exceptional circumstances (e.g. populations recovering from near‐extinction), growth may initially be weakly regulated but typically slows as negative density dependence (NDD) sets in.

Multi‐year partner fidelity is associated with higher annual reproductive output in a biparental subtropical shorebird

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Partner fidelity is a key component of reproductive strategies in socially monogamous species, yet its adaptive value remains context dependent and poorly understood outside environments with short breeding seasons. In most bird species, partners may remain together or re‐pair between successive nesting attempts, but it remains unclear which components
