Effects of Temperature and Water Availability on Northern European Boreal Forests

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Boreal forests are warming faster than the rest of the planet. Do the benefits of higher temperatures and longer growing seasons for forest productivity exceed the negative effects of more frequent dry spells and heat waves, shifting precipitation ...

50% body weight loading reduces stature increases and lumbar disc expansion from 4 h hyper‐buoyancy floatation versus 15 min sitting upright

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Blood flow restriction: The acute effects of body tilting and reduced gravity analogues on limb occlusion pressure

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Blood flow restriction (BFR) has been identified as a potential countermeasure to mitigate physiological deconditioning during spaceflight. Guidelines recommend that tourniquet pressure be prescribed relative to limb occlusion pressure (LOP); however, it is unclear whether body tilting or reduced gravity analogues influence LOP.

Limited musculoskeletal benefits of artificial gravity combined with cycling during bed rest: Results from the BRACE study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged exposure to microgravity, simulated via 6° head‐down tilt bed rest (HDT), induces musculoskeletal deconditioning and negatively impacts body composition. This study evaluated whether a combination of aerobic exercise with artificial gravity (AG) offers superior protection in comparison to exercise alone.

Human brain distinctiveness based on EEG spectral coherence connectivity

, 2014
The use of EEG biometrics, for the purpose of automatic people recognition, has received increasing attention in the recent years. Most of current analysis rely on the extraction of features characterizing the activity of single brain regions, like power-

The Effect of Plant Water Storage on Water Fluxes within the Coupled Soil–Plant System [PDF]

, 2017
In addition to buffering plants from water stress during severe droughts, plant water storage (PWS) alters many features of the spatio-temporal dynamics of water movement in the soil–plant system.

A mycobacterial disease is associated with the silent mass mortality of the pen shell Pinna nobilis along the Tyrrhenian coastline of Italy

Scientific Reports, 2019
Disease is an increasing threat for marine bivalves worldwide. Recently, a mass mortality event (MME) impacting the bivalve Pinna nobilis was detected across a wide geographical area of the Spanish Mediterranean Sea and linked to a haplosporidian ...

Modelling the time‐resolved modulations of cardiac activity in rats: A study on pharmacological autonomic stimulation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Time‐resolved estimation of cardiac rhythmicity parameters. A pipeline is shown for the estimation of the fluctuating cardiac parameters, based on the Poincaré plot. The Poincaré plot illustrates the successive changes in interbeat intervals (IBI).
