Extroparvum occidentale gen. et sp. nov. and the Cretaceous diversification of Lauraceae

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The fossil record of Lauraceae extends back to the Early Cretaceous and comprises numerous flowers. However, phylogenetic relationships of many of these fossil flowers remain unresolved. To better understand the early evolutionary history of Lauraceae, we conducted phylogenetic analyses of living and extinct members of the family and ...

On the Relevance of Aerosols to Snow Cover Variability Over High Mountain Asia

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Abstract While meteorology and aerosols are identified as key drivers of snow cover (SC) variability in High Mountain Asia, complex non‐linear interactions between them are not adequately quantified. Here, we attempt to unravel these interactions through a simple relative importance (RI) analysis of meteorological and aerosol ...

Negotiating contested spaces and places: Narratives of social suffering and resistance in racialized Cape Town communities

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study employs a schizocartographic approach to explore community narratives of space, memory, and violence in Kraaifontein, Cape Town. Through participants' accounts, ordinary places—gardens, shops, blocks, sports grounds, and streets—emerge as ambivalent geographies where trauma, resilience, and belonging intersect.

Temperature‐Controlled Radiofrequency for Severe Nasal Airway Obstruction: A Non‐Inferiority Comparison With Surgical Intervention

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Temperature‐controlled radiofrequency (TCRF), septoplasty (ST) with turbinate reduction, and functional rhinoplasty (FR) are treatment options for nasal airway obstruction (NAO) and nasal valve dysfunction (NVD), but no direct comparison of these procedures has been performed. Methods This prospective, open‐label, non‐inferiority (

Poseidon's Sanctuary at Samikon—The Discovery of an Ancient Temple Through an Integrated Geophysical and Geoarchaeological Survey Approach for Lagoonal and Swampy Environments

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Below the classical fortress of Samikon at the coast of the western Peloponnese, ancient writer Strabo mentioned a sanctuary of Poseidon which served as the centre of the religious association of the Triphylian cities. In this paper, we describe the discovery and investigation of a building structure by means of geophysical and ...

Relationships among nitrous oxide exposure, neurological injury and biomarkers

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Recreational nitrous oxide (N2O) misuse is an increasing public health problem associated with functional cobalamin (B12) deficiency and severe neurological complications. Despite growing recognition of its harms, the dose–response relationship and clinical value of biomarkers remain unclear.

Food security in high mountains of Central Asia: A broader perspective

BioScience, 2023
Abstract Addressing food security in high mountains is a multidimensional conundrum because of complex climate patterns and environmental attributes. These conditions affect water supplies, biodiversity, droughts, and other hazards. The climate change–land degradation nexus, although it is difficult to disentangle, poses formidable ...

Exploring the Utility of Machine Learning-Based Passive Microwave Brightness Temperature Data Assimilation over Terrestrial Snow in High Mountain Asia

Remote Sensing, 2019
This study explores the use of a support vector machine (SVM) as the observation operator within a passive microwave brightness temperature data assimilation framework (herein SVM-DA) to enhance the characterization of snow water equivalent (SWE) over ...
