Nitrogen uptake rates and f-ratios in the Equatorial and Southern Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2015
We report data on nitrate, ammonium and urea uptake rates from the Equatorial and Southern Indian Oceans. Productivity (0.81–2.23 mmol N m–2 d–1) over the Equatorial Indian Ocean was low, but the f-ratio (0.13–0.45) was relatively high.

Digitisation of herbarium specimens to the benefit of research: An African perspective focusing on South Africa and Western Indian Ocean Island states

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Botanical exploration, discovery and conservation rely heavily on access to herbarium collections. Recently, digital access to label information, including georeferenced locality data, and images of herbarium specimens available online have greatly increased usage of herbarium specimen data.

Suitability of slightly saline irrigation for alleviating drought stress in taro and yam in Tonga: Implications for climate‐resilient Pacific cropping systems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
There is an increasing risk of drought and salinisation of soil and groundwater globally, including in Pacific Island countries such as Tonga. Irrigating crops with slightly saline water, such as that produced by emerging desalination technologies, could help to alleviate droughts.

Safety of 8‐Week Administration With Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Root Extract in Adults With Stress and Anxiety: Findings From a Prospective, Randomized, Multi‐Center, Double‐Blinded, Placebo‐Controlled Study

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has been recognized for enhancing physical strength, mental well‐being, and overall vitality. Despite its long‐standing use across generations, some clinical reports have noted occasional adverse events. This study compared the safety and tolerability of Ashwagandha Root Extract (ARE) in healthy adults.

Machine‐learning approaches for characterizing the raindrop size distributions in Western Pacific tropical cyclones

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Long‐term disdrometer observations are utilized to derive Z–R relationships for ‐the Western Pacific tropical cyclones. A hybrid moment‐based approach is employed to determine the interrelationships among pairs of gamma distribution parameters. Enhanced estimates of rainfall rate and slope parameter are obtained using machine‐learning techniques ...
