Fire risk and smallholders in the Brazilian Amazon: why have institutional arrangements failed so far? [PDF]

, 2013
In the Brazilian Amazon, uncontrolled fire is one of the main drivers of forest degradation leading to important loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services (ES). Smallholders are often considered as the main actors responsible for these damages, as they

Evaluating two soil carbon models within the global land surface model JSBACH using surface and spaceborne observations of atmospheric CO₂ [PDF]

, 2020
The trajectories of soil carbon (C) in the changing climate are of utmost importance, as soil carbon is a substantial carbon storage with a large potential to impact the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) burden.

Super‐Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE) in a Patient With Compound Heterozygous OPA1 Variants: Case Report and Literature Review

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Super‐Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE) is a rare, life‐threatening neurological emergency with unclear etiology in many cases. Mitochondrial dysfunction, often due to disease‐causing genetic variants, is increasingly recognized as a cause, with each gene producing distinct pathophysiological mechanisms.

HESFIRE: a global fire model to explore the role of anthropogenic and weather drivers [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2015
Vegetation fires are a major driver of ecosystem dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions. Anticipating potential changes in fire activity and their impacts relies first on a realistic model of fire activity (e.g., fire incidence and interannual variability)

Epilepsy‐Associated Variants of a Single SCN1A Codon Exhibit Divergent Functional Properties

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic variants in SCN1A, which encodes the voltage‐gated sodium channel NaV1.1, are associated with multiple epilepsy syndromes exhibiting a range of clinical severity. SCN1A variants are reported in different syndromes, including Dravet syndrome, which is associated with loss‐of‐function, whereas neonatal/infantile‐onset ...

The interaction between temperature and rainfall determines the probability of tropical forest fire occurrence in Hainan Island

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Severe forest fires have erupted in numerous tropical regions globally, threatening carbon storage in tropical ecosystems, the survival of plant species, and human health.

Recent Changes in Fire activity in Africa and their Potential Drivers

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2019
Several studies report a decline in global burned area in recent years, primarily due reduced fire activity in Africa. In this study, we used the most recent 2002-2016 record of the Collection 6 MODIS MCD64 Burned Area Product to analyze changes in burned area in Africa, and to investigate the potential drivers of these changes. In the study period the

Modelling fire occurrence at regional scale. Does vegetation phenology matter? [PDF]

, 2015
Through its influence on biomass production, climate controls fuel availability affecting at the same time fuel moisture and flammability, which are the main determinants for fire ignition and propagation.

The Tale of the Residual Tail: Insights From Continuous Intracranial Monitoring From Post‐Hippocampectomy Dynamics

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subtotal hippocampal resection can leave residual hippocampal tissue, yet the immediate postoperative electrophysiologic evolution of such remnants is unknown. We describe a patient with drug‐resistant temporal lobe epilepsy in whom a hippocampal remnant was continuously monitored using a responsive neurostimulator (RNS) following subtotal ...
