Sustainable Materials Design With Multi‐Modal Artificial Intelligence

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Critical mineral scarcity, high embodied carbon, and persistent pollution from materials processing intensify the need for sustainable materials design. This review frames the problem as multi‐objective optimization under heterogeneous, high‐dimensional evidence and highlights multi‐modal AI as an enabling pathway.

Estimation of Forest Disturbance from Retrospective Observations in a Broad-Scale Inventory

, 2020
Understanding the extent and timing of forest disturbances and their impacts is critical to formulating effective management and policy responses. Broad-scale inventory programs provide key estimates of forest parameters that indicate the extent and ...

High Tree Species Diversity Promotes Thermal Enhancement Response of Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Predicting soil carbon dynamics under warming is constrained by limited understanding of microbial thermal adaptation, particularly whether microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) can adapt to warming and how plant diversity modulates this response. Using soils from a natural tree species diversity gradient in a subtropical forest, we combined a

Thermal canopy photography in forestry - an alternative to optical cover photography

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2015
Hemispherical canopy photography is a widely used technique to observe crown-related forest variables. However, standardization of this technique remains challenging, as exposure and threshold settings continue to constitute the main sources of variation

LRRC4 Orchestrates AP2A1‐Containing Clathrin‐Coated Vesicles to Disrupt Mitochondrial Cristae and Restrict Glioblastoma Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LRRC4 suppresses GBM by regulating AP2A1‐containing Golgi‐derived clathrin‐coated vesicles. Low LRRC4 allows cytoplasmic AP2A1 to maintain mitochondrial fission‐fusion, MICOS integrity, and OXPHOS, promoting proliferation and invasion. High LRRC4 redirects AP2A1‐containing Golgi‐derived clathrin‐coated vesicles to mitochondria, disrupts MICOS, enhances

Evaluating the Potential of ALS Data to Increase the Efficiency of Aboveground Biomass Estimates in Tropical Peat–Swamp Forests

Remote Sensing, 2018
Estimates of aboveground biomass (AGB) in forests are critically required by many actors including forest managers, forest services and policy makers. Because the AGB of a forest cannot be observed directly, models need to be employed.
