FracL: A Tool for Characterizing the Fractality of Landscape Gradients from a New Perspective

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2019
The past several years have witnessed much progress in landscape ecology and fractal analysis. In landscape ecology, the gradient model of landscape patterns (i.e., landscape gradient) has emerged as a new operating paradigm, where most landscape metrics

Scaling effects on landscape metrics in alpine meadow on the central Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Small-scale patchiness is common in alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and significantly affects ecological processes. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) provides an effective way to monitor the small-scale patchiness at different spatial ...

Evaluation of spatial variability of the vegetation cover in arid and semiarid areas using measures of landscape ecology (Case study: Poshtkooh rangelands of Yazd) [PDF]

مدیریت بیابان, 2016
Landscape ecology is one of theyoungest branches of ecology science, and especially deals on the study of landscape composition, structure and function.  Landscape elements are such as patches, corridors, matrixalong the border and ecotons.

T2* Magnetic Resonance Imaging Uncovers Hemosiderin Burden in Pediatric Hemophilia: A Call for Sensitive Imaging Biomarkers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemophilic arthropathy remains the leading morbidity in hemophilia despite modern prophylaxis, and early joint damage may be missed by routine exams. This study explored T2* MRI as a noninvasive biomarker of hemosiderin deposition in pediatric hemophilia.

Does a Time-Lagged Effect Exist Between Landscape Pattern Changes and Giant Panda Density?

Land
Land use and land cover change (LULCC) can influence giant panda distributions by altering landscape structure and configuration. However, the spatial impacts and potential time lag effects of landscape pattern changes on giant pandas remain ...

ASSIST: Refinement of a Benefits Navigator Intervention Among Low‐Income Pediatric Oncology Families

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Children with cancer living in poverty experience worse survival and quality of life. Interventions connecting low‐income families to benefits (e.g., Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP] improve health outcomes; yet nearly 50% of SNAP‐eligible pediatric oncology families are unenrolled.

Immunoglobulin Depletion and Recovery Following Blinatumomab in Infants With KMT2A‐Rearranged ALL

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adding blinatumomab to standard chemotherapy for infants with KMT2A‐rearranged acute B‐cell lymphoblastic leukemia (KMT2A‐r B‐ALL) improves outcomes. Although blinatumomab impairs immunoglobulin G (lgG) production, increasing infection susceptibility, IgG recovery remains poorly understood.

Bridging the Gap in Neuroblastoma Care: Consensus‐Based Statements With Recommendations for Improved Patient and Caregiver Experiences

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma's complex, heterogeneous biology poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, often requiring caregivers to absorb complex information and participate in time‐sensitive decisions. However, caregivers often feel unprepared to evaluate options.
