Harvesting intensity and disturbance to residual trees and ground under Myanmar selection system; comparison of four sites

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
The Myanmar selection system (MSS) has a long tradition for timber production in natural forests, mainly using elephants for skidding. We aimed to evaluate the levels of MSS disturbance to standing trees and the ground as compared with those reported for

Reliably mapping low-intensity forest disturbance using satellite radar data

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
In the last decades tropical forests have experienced increased fragmentation due to a global growing demand for agricultural and forest commodities.

THE INTENSIVE ELECTRIC SHOCK THERAPY OF CHRONIC DISTURBED PSYCHOTIC PATIENTS [PDF]

American Journal of Psychiatry, 1950
1. Intensive electric shock treatment was tried on a large, chronic, disturbed psychotic women's ward over a 3-month period. 2. As a result restraint was reduced roughly 90%, seclusion roughly 66%, and sedation roughly 90%. Patients in general became better "ward citizens."

Large-scale wind disturbances promote tree diversity in a Central Amazon forest. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Canopy gaps created by wind-throw events, or blowdowns, create a complex mosaic of forest patches varying in disturbance intensity and recovery in the Central Amazon. Using field and remote sensing data, we investigated the short-term (four-year) effects

Disturbances of Sleep in the Intensive Care Unit

Critical Care Clinics, 1994
Sleep can be extremely difficult to achieve in ICUs. Sleep deprivation is a major problem in the ICU and physicians should be aware of the effects of sleep deprivation on physiologic and immune function. Sleep deprivation has been associated with the ICU syndrome.

Intensity Calibration in the Presence of a Disturbing Effect Dependent on Wavelength [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994
Conversion of light detector signals to intensity values is one of the most important factors influencing precision of spectroscopic observations. Most of the classical light detectors used in astronomical practice are more or less nonlinear.

Consequences of plateau pika disturbance on plant-soil carbon and nitrogen in alpine meadows

Frontiers in Plant Science
The presence of burrowing mammals can have extensive effects on plants and soils, creating bare soil patches in alpine meadows and potentially altering plant-soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). This study focuses on the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) to

The Effects of Disturbance Intensity on Tropical Forest Bird Communities and Vegetation Structure after Two Decades of Recovery

Birds
As tropical forests are frequently impacted by human disturbance, forests in various stages of disturbance recovery are increasingly important for maintaining biodiversity.

Hyperosmotic stress induces PARP1‐mediated HPF1‐dependent mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Sorbitol‐induced hyperosmotic stress rapidly induces reversible mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation (MARylation) on PARP1 without the signs of genotoxic signaling. We show that PARP1 autoMARylation is HPF1 dependent and forms hydroxylamine‐resistant O‐glycosidic linkages.
