Urban landscape pattern affects plant diversity in green spaces: Evidence from street view imagery

Global Ecology and Conservation
Sustainable urban environments are dependent on plant diversity in urban green spaces. However, there is no method to analyze the impact of urban landscape pattern on plant diversity in green spaces.

The prevalence, composition and distribution of forageable plant species in different urban spaces in two medium-sized towns in South Africa

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Globally, the importance of urban vegetation in the quality and maintenance of life in urban areas is increasingly recognized. As the basis of urban green infrastructure, urban vegetation provides a diversity of ecosystem services, including provisioning

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Signal space diversity for spatial multiplexing [PDF]

2008 IEEE 19th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications, 2008
When channel state information is available at the transmitter, we can diagonalize a MIMO channel with SVD transceivers. However, outage of the weaker eigenchannels limits the performance of such a transceiver. In the current work, we propose and analytically characterize co-ordinate interleaving of multi-dimensional symbols over sets of eigenchannels.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

The Distribution Patterns of Vascular Plant Diversity in Green Spaces in Guangzhou, Southern China

Biological Diversity
Vascular plants are a fundamental component of urban green spaces (UGSs) and their diversity determines the associated ecological benefits. This study surveys the vascular plant diversity in three types of UGSs (i.e., urban parks, residential green ...

Enhancing Diversity and Convergence in MMOPs with a Gaussian Similarity-Based Evolutionary Algorithm

Mathematics
Multi-modal multi-objective optimization problems (MMOPs) are challenging due to multiple solutions sharing similar objective values. Existing algorithms for solving MMOPs typically evaluate the crowding in the decision space and objective space ...

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Urban diversity and the production of public space in Budapest

Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2016
Public spaces are spaces for representation of individuals, social groups, ideologies, values, cultures. At the same time, public spaces are commodifi ed and "disneyfied" in capitalism, thus, the creation of a homogeneous, "desirable" spatial form and ...

Towards Intercultural Education: Exploring Perceptions of Cultural Diversity and Identities of Adolescents Living in the Border Area between Spain and Morocco

Education Sciences, 2023
Borders are complex spaces of relationships and interpretations built from the perspective of cultural diversity. The complexity of these spaces concerns the ways in which they are created, experienced and questioned by the people who inhabit them.
