Random finite element analysis on ground subsidence caused by tunnel excavation in karst regions with spatial variable soil

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigates ground subsidence during tunnel excavation in karst areas, highlighting the combined effects of karst cave proximity, cave size, and soil spatial variability. Findings suggest that shorter cave distances and larger cave sizes increase subsidence variability, and a modified Peck formula is proposed for more accurate subsidence ...

Expression of mutant TIE2 p.L914F during mouse development causes embryonic lethality and defects in vascular remodeling

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sporadic venous malformation (VM) is associated with the hyperactivating p.L914F mutation in TIE2, a receptor tyrosine kinase essential for vascular development. This mutation is not found in hereditary VM, suggesting incompatibility with life when expressed during early vascular development.

Mathematically and biologically consistent framework for presence–absence pairwise indices

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Many indices based on presence‐absence data that compare two communities have been proposed, with the aim to characterize community similarity, species turnover or beta‐diversity, as well as other phenomena like community nestedness. These indices are often mathematically convertible to each other and are thus equivalent in terms of their information ...

Temperature variability homogenized thermal responses in an ectotherm community along a European longitudinal gradient

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Climate change, through rising temperatures, greater variability, and more frequent extremes, is reshaping insect phenology and thermal niches, with profound effects for pest outbreaks. Predicting these impacts requires a clear understanding of species and communities' responses across geographic gradients.
