Global trends in epilepsy and the Chinese experience: Epidemiological transitions, underlying mechanisms, and integrated strategies (1990–2021)

open access: yesNeuroprotection, EarlyView.
Epilepsy: Global Trends and the Chinese Experience (1990–2021). The infographic depicts (left) the global distribution of age‐standardized epilepsy DALY rates; (center) the triple inequality gap within China, including regional mortality disparities (9‐fold difference between western and eastern provinces), urban‐rural treatment gaps (60%–90%), and ...

Feast or famine: How food deserts, wealth and greenspace correlate with coyote diets in Seattle, Washington

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,

Transforming Coastal Waste: Algae‐Based Recycled HDPE Composites for Enhanced Sustainability

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Manufacturing and characterization of composites from beach‐cast algae waste combined with recycled high‐density polyethylene. ABSTRACT Growing environmental concerns are accelerating the development of more sustainable materials. This study successfully created a composite material by combining recycled high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) as the matrix ...

Depositional and Hydrological Relationships Between Buried Dead Ice and the Active Layer in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica: A Study of Sediment Geochemistry and Cation Concentrations

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The McMurdo Dry Valleys, the largest ice‐free region in Antarctica, are home to a cold‐desert hydrologic system of glaciers, snowbanks, streams, and lakes. Freshwater is also stored as dead glacial ice, which is poorly constrained in terms of ion concentrations and interactions with both in situ and overlying sediments.

Leaf heat tolerance in a native Californian shrub responds in expected and unexpected ways to differences in range, season, and sunlight exposure

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Earth's ecosystems are experiencing wide‐ranging impacts from global climate change, including increased average and extreme temperatures. These temperature shifts can drastically affect plant physiology, threatening the future of even common plant species. Here, we focus on photosynthetic function in a native Southern California shrub species.

Abundance of atrazine degrading genes trzN versus atzA in soil cultures and in situ degradation rates

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Atrazine degradation in agricultural soils showed in situ half‐lives of 36–225 days. Field and laboratory results indicate active microbial hydrolysis driven mainly by trzN. Biphasic degradation sustains long‐term persistence, maintaining the potential for groundwater contamination despite reduced immediate leaching risk.

Evaluating anisotropy‐based Monin–Obukhov similarity theory over canopies and complex terrain

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study shows that an anisotropy‐based generalization of Monin–Obukhov surface‐layer scaling (SC23) applies readily across a wide range of atmospheric conditions with variable terrain, canopies, and land‐cover complexity. This work focuses on the scaling of velocity variances for 7 years at the 47 sites in the National Ecological Observation Network

The role of the synoptic‐scale conditions in driving fog and mist during the FATIMA July 2022 Sable Island Field program

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
ERA5 hourly 325‐m and 1512‐m (a) convergence and (b) vertical motion (actually pressure change with sign reversed to compare with convergence) over Sable Island around the time of an event. The mist (green) and fog (red) occurrences at the surface station are shown at the bottom of the figures. A 325‐m fitted line convergence was positive for the first

Further development of adaptive parameter tuning in the numerical weather prediction models of Deutscher Wetterdienst

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The introduction of adaptive parameter tuning in the numerical weather prediction models of DWD in 2022 substantially improved the forecast quality of near‐surface variables like 2‐m temperature and 2‐m humidity. Since 2023, refinements and extensions, primarily affecting the surface evaporation and its diurnal cycle, have led to further advances ...

Multiscale numerical sensitivity simulations of a mesoscale gravity‐wave event

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
High‐resolution WRF simulations of the February 14–15, 1992 STORM‐FEST event show that mesoscale gravity‐wave genesis occurs via geostrophic adjustment within an upper‐level unbalanced jet, while wave ducting governs maintenance. High‐resolution (1 km), improved physical parameterization, and targeted sensitivity simulations demonstrate that upstream ...
