Forensic Hydraulic Analysis of Floodplain Connectivity Driven by Historical Beaver Dams in Colorado Headwater Streams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

Coregistration of Multimodal Imaging Mass Spectrometry and Optical Images of Tissue Sections at Single‐Cell Resolution

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate alignment of histopathological structures in optical images and imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) datasets is crucial for providing meaningful biological interpretation. Integrating IMS with optical or other imaging modalities remains challenging due to sample‐preparation constraints, mismatched spatial resolutions, and the need for ...

Regional Prediction of Soil Nutrient Availability and Management Using Portable X‐Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Portable x‐ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectroscopy has emerged as a rapid and cost‐effective technique for soil elemental analysis; however, its application for predicting available nutrients and supporting agronomic decision making remains insufficiently evaluated under field conditions.

A Multi‐Analytical Campaign on Reused Medieval Musical Parchment From the Archivio di Stato di Siena (Italy)

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, a non‐invasive, multi‐analytical approach combining hypercolorimetric multispectral imaging (HMI), stereomicroscopy, X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy, principal component analysis (PCA) and X‐ray radiography (RX) is used to investigate three reused musical parchment fragments dating from the late 14th or early 15th century ...
