Talin1 Adhesion Morphology and Colocalization With Tensin3 Are Largely Unaffected by Polyacrylamide Substrate Stiffness

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cells sense the stiffness of their extracellular matrix (ECM) and adapt their behavior accordingly. We investigated how ECM stiffness affects the spatial organization of talin1, a key mechanosensitive focal adhesion protein. Using polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogels with tunable stiffnesses (0.2–188 kPa), we analyzed cell morphology, migration ...

Identification of Synthetic Urine by Analysis of Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Ratios and Comparison to Established GC‐MS/MS and LC‐MS/MS Analysis

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
This study compared GC‐MS/MS, EA‐IRMS, and LC‐MS/MS for detecting synthetic and manipulated urine samples in doping control and forensic analysis. EA‐IRMS proved particularly effective for identifying mixtures of synthetic and authentic urine, providing a reliable complement to established authenticity testing methods.

Quantification and Analysis of Icebergs in a Tidewater Glacier Fjord Using an Object-Based Approach.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Tidewater glaciers are glaciers that terminate in, and calve icebergs into, the ocean. In addition to the influence that tidewater glaciers have on physical and chemical oceanography, floating icebergs serve as habitat for marine animals such as harbor ...

Age‐related trends in niche position and specialization in Neotropical vertebrates

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species' niche positions and breadths within a region's environmental space, measured through ecological niche factor analysis (ENFA) as marginality and specialization, can reflect evolutionary constraints related to lineage age. The ‘internal incumbency' hypothesis predicts that older species, due to competitive preemption, occupy more central niche ...

The demise of the world's largest piedmont glacier: a probabilistic forecast [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Sít' Tlein, located in the St. Elias Range, which straddles Alaska's Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Kluane National Park in the Yukon, is the world's largest piedmont glacier. Sít' Tlein has thinned considerably over 30 years of altimetry, yet its

Stochastic and deterministic processes influencing mountain mire diatom communities across spatial scales

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how deterministic and stochastic processes influence the shape of microorganism community assembly across different spatial scales is essential for disentangling biodiversity patterns. Mires are nutrient‐poor and heterogeneous wetlands that form isolated habitats supporting highly diverse diatom assemblages, particularly in mountainous ...

Recent Advances in Prussian Blue Analogs as Capacitive Deionization Electrode Materials: Fundamentals, Structure–Performance Relationships, and Design Strategies

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines the fundamental ion‐storage mechanisms, the structural chemistry, and redox behavior of Prussian blue analogs as Faradaic electrodes in capacitive deionization, their intrinsic limitations and engineering optimization strategies, and the critical materials‐to‐device considerations required to advance PBA‐based CDI ...

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop

Mesozoic–Cenozoic Thermochronology of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan System, NW China

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Tectonothermal history of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan system compared with the major tectonic events at far‐field plate margins. ABSTRACT The Tarim Basin, an oil‐bearing basin in northwest China, is tectonically and sedimentologically linked to the Southern Tianshan Orogenic Belt.

Where the Water Flows: Understanding Glacier’s Triple Divide Peak

Open Rivers, 2018
Imagine pouring out a glass of water. Where does the water go? After soaking your computer or floor, it would eventually flow to join a greater body of water and become part of a larger drainage system.
