Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.

Rise of the south: How Arab‐led maritime trade transformed China, 671–1371 CE

open access: yesAsia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 3-38, March 2025.
Abstract China's center of socioeconomic activities was in the North prior to the Tang dynasty but is in the South today. We demonstrate that Arab and Persian Muslim traders triggered that transition when they came to China in the late seventh century, by lifting maritime trade along the South Coast and re‐creating the South.

A Case for Anti‐IgE Vaccination

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a central role in allergic diseases by binding to the high‐affinity receptor FcεRI on mast cells and basophils, where allergen‐induced crosslinking triggers potent inflammatory responses. Various mechanisms by which IgE responses are generated and functionally regulated remain elusive despite many years of research.

Discrepancy in menstrual and ultrasound‐based gestational age is associated with chromosomal aberrations and adverse pregnancy outcomes—Results from a nationwide cohort study

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
A smaller than expected crown–rump length (CRL) relative to last menstrual period was strongly associated with increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and obstetric complications. Conversely, a larger than expected CRL was associated with a reduced risk of these outcomes.

Overlap-Kernel EPI: Estimating MRI Shot-to-Shot Phase Variations by Shifted-Kernel Extraction From Overlap Regions at Arbitrary k-Space Locations. [PDF]

open access: yesMagn Reson Med
ABSTRACT Purpose In multi‐shot EPI, shot‐dependent phase fluctuations can introduce ghost artifacts, undermining advantages for enhancing resolution or reducing distortion, particularly in diffusion scans. Here, a novel self‐navigation strategy based on shift‐invariant kernel extraction is proposed, enabling robust estimation of phase inconsistencies ...

Flow‐pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet indicated by the subglacial lineation record over Norway, Sweden and Finland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
We present a 25‐stage reconstruction of the ice‐flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of NW Russia. Our reconstruction uses a glacial geomorphological inversion approach, in which we generated 611 individual ...

Democratising Multi‐Projector Displays

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Spatially augmented reality (SAR) transforms large, surround, collaborative experiences out of VR/AR headsets to the real world by merging content from projectors with the physical environment. This detailed state‐of‐the‐art survey reports on the advancements in multi‐projector aggregation and hardware technologies used to achieve SAR and build ...
