Driver analysis of subarctic wildfire severity over a 35-year period

Big Earth Data
Large subarctic wildfires are causing environmental damage, releasing stored carbon, and forcing residents to relocate. Subarctic ecosystems are experiencing earlier, longer, and more intense wildfire seasons due in part to factors such as warmer winters

The analysis of charcoal in peat and organic sediments [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2011
The abundance of charcoal in sediments has been interpreted as a ‘fire history’ at about 1,000 sites across the globe. This research effort reflects the importance of fire in many ecosystems, and the diversity of processes that can be affected by fire in

Grasstree stem analysis reveals insufficient data for inference of fire history [PDF]

, 2012
Grinding back dead leaf bases on the stems of arborescent grasstrees (Xant7wrrlwea spp.) reveals a pattern of horizontal bands that has been interpreted as a record of the fire history experienced by the plant.

Is an Apple an Orange? A Large Language Model Benchmark for Candidate Term Extraction and Subclass Decisions Against Upper Ontologies in Engineering and Materials Science

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Building machine‐readable vocabularies for materials science is slow, expert‐driven work. This study benchmarks 13 large language models on two of its first steps: finding candidate terms in engineering articles and deciding where they belong in a class hierarchy.

Fire history reconstruction in grassland ecosystems: amount of charcoal reflects local area burned

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
Fire is one of the most prevalent disturbances in the Earth system, and its past characteristics can be reconstructed using charcoal particles preserved in depositional environments.

Reconsidering the fire ecology of the iconic American chestnut

Ecosphere, 2020
The iconic American chestnut (Castanea dentata) once spanned a large portion of eastern North America before its functional extinction in the early 20th century due primarily to non‐native fungal pathogens.

Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).

An Epigenetic Fate Converter Based on Nuclei‐Targeting Lipid Nanoparticles Drives Neuronal Programming of Stem Cells for Spinal Cord Repair

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of LNP‐MPG nuclei‐targeting delivery of HMW‐FGF2 promoting histone acetylation to regulate the fate of DPSCs and treat spinal cord injury. LNPs components include pHMW‐FGF2 plasmid, DSPC, Dlin‐MC3‐DMA, cholesterol, and PEG2000, and are modified with MPG to form HMW‐FGF2@LNP‐MPG (HLM). HLM nuclei‐targets DPSCs to deliver HMW‐FGF2,
