Global vegetation variability and its response to elevated CO2, global warming, and climate variability – a study using the offline SSiB4/TRIFFID model and satellite data [PDF]

, 2018
. The climate regime shift during the 1980s had a substantial impact on the terrestrial ecosystems and vegetation at different scales. However, the mechanisms driving vegetation changes, before and after the shift, remain unclear.

Natural Resistance to Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome in Estrildid Finches Reveals Macrophage GPR183 as a Potential Therapeutic Target

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ovarian macrophage depletion reverses OHSS resistance in estrildid finches and exacerbates OHSS symptoms in rats. Activating macrophage GPR183 alleviates OHSS by reducing pro‐inflammatory factors, increasing immunomodulatory molecules, remodeling CD44/SDC4‐mediated communication, and restoring immune homeostasis.

Spectral estimates of solar radiation intercepted by corn canopies [PDF]

Reflectance factor data were acquired with a Landsat band radiometer throughout two growing seasons for corn (Zea mays L.) canopies differing in planting dates, populations, and soil types. Agronomic data collected included leaf area index (LAI), biomass,

High‐Performance Prevascularized SHED‐Laden rGO@Hydrogel Achieves Optimized Diabetic Bone Defect Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A high‐performance 3D scaffold integrating rGO and SHEDs is developed to overcome impaired healing in diabetic bone defects. By driving extracellular matrix remodeling, rGO creates a pro‐angiogenic niche that significantly accelerates in vitro vascular network formation.

Indications for sharp continuous phase transitions at finite temperatures connected with the apparent metal-insulator transition in two-dimensional disordered systems

, 2008
In a recent experiment, Lai et al. [Phys. Rev. B 75, 033314 (2007)] studied the apparent metal-insulator transition (MIT) of a Si quantum well structure tuning the charge carrier concentration $n$.

The Impacts of Health and Environmental Information Nudges on Meat Choices: Where Does Goat Meat Fit?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amidst a recent surge in US goat meat imports to meet growing demand, this study contributes to the meat demand literature by examining consumer preferences for goat meat, a relatively healthy and environmentally friendly alternative to other popular meats.

Effect of Antagonistic Binder–Catalyst Interactions on Catalytic Activity in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The binder is shown to interact antagonistically with the catalyst in a sulfur cathode, impeding Li2Sx adsorption onto catalytic active sites. This hinders electrochemical performance and prevents the effective deployment of catalysts. This study showcases catalyst‐binder compatibility as a key parameter for cathode design in lithium‐sulfur (Li‐S ...

U.S. Consumer Preferences for Cage‐Free Eggs and Hen Housing Policies

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm animal welfare (FAW) continues to be a divisive issue in the egg industry. In the United States, 10 states and most major retailers have implemented policies or voluntary pledges to transition to 100% cage‐free egg sales. We use best‐worst scaling and discrete choice experiments to evaluate U.S.

Vegetation density as deduced from ERTS-1 MSS response [PDF]

Reflectance from vegetation increases with increasing vegetation density in the 0.75- to 1.35 micron wavelength interval. Therefore, ERTS-1 bands 6 (0.7 to 0.8 micron) and 7 (0.8 to 1.1 micron) contain information that should relate to the probable yield
