ABSTRACT Introduction Differentiating bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) from detrusor underactivity (DU) remains a major unmet need in the management of lower urinary tract symptoms in men. Although pressure–flow urodynamics provide a definitive physiological classification, their invasiveness limits their widespread use.

Anthropogenic disturbances are degrading nature at a rate that exceeds its capacity to recover. While considerable research has focused on understanding ecosystem impacts, recovery processes remain comparatively overlooked, particularly in marine ecosystems, where long‐term data on how highly complex systems respond to disturbances are scarce.

Abstract Biodiversity loss is accelerating globally, yet species are not equally affected, and public perceptions of extinction risk often diverge from scientific assessments. Understanding what shapes public perceptions is critical for effective conservation communication, particularly in zoos, where many people encounter exotic and endangered ...

Medicinal plants used in ethnobotanical traditions to treat or prevent diseases have gained renewed interest for their largely untapped potential in drug discovery. In this study, we developed and tested novel methods to prioritise plant species based on their unexplored medicinal potential. By enabling researchers to target the most promising species,

Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments
Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

Positive perceptions of invasive species can hinder effective management, especially if management efforts that are rooted in scientific theories are misaligned with local ecological knowledge. We documented local ecological knowledge about land invasibility as predicted by invasion biology theories. Participants with greater local ecological knowledge

Data mining using intelligent systems : an optimized weighted fuzzy decision tree approach [PDF]
Data mining can be said to have the aim to analyze the observational datasets to find relationships and to present the data in ways that are both understandable and useful.

As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

Using S‐band dual‐polarization radar and disdrometers during PRECIP 2022 in Taiwan, we analyze a Mei‐Yu frontal event with widespread stratiform rain and embedded convection. Multiple disdrometers are used to create a novel drop size distribution model for S‐band radars resolving both the drizzle and precipitation modes. The model reveals both inferred
