Thunderstorm total lightning activity behavior associated with transmission line trip events of power system

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
High-voltage transmission lines are susceptible targets for lightning strikes. It is an interesting topic how the trip event of transmission line is related to the area, location, and intensity of thunderstorms occurring at that time and that place ...

Human IDO2 exhibits unique binding affinities distinct to those of human IDO1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Although indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 2 (IDO2) is highly homologous to IDO1, it displays markedly lower catalytic activity. We found that IDO2 binds L‐tryptophan (L‐Trp) in a flipped orientation stabilized by the IDO2‐specific residue His143. Replacement of His143 with the IDO1‐equivalent tyrosine restored an IDO1‐like binding mode and increased ...

Quality Regulation and Unexpected Gaming: Evidence From Mandating Flight Delay Compensation

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policies that target a single aspect of agents' motivation may lead to their diminished efforts in other areas. This paper examines the effect of the European Union's flight delay compensation policy on flight on‐time performance by exploiting a unique policy variation in a difference‐in‐differences framework.

Natural disaster risk salience and the strategic appointment of directors with sustainability expertise

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.

Axial muscle‐fibre orientations in larval zebrafish

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 517-533, April 2025.
In 4 days post‐fertilization zebrafish larvae, the fast axial muscle fibres follow helical trajectories that taper towards the tail. Adjacent muscle fibres form substantial angles relative to each other to accommodate this pattern. Using a novel semi‐automatic method, we quantified 3D fibre angles over the whole muscle volume.

Rapid postfire color shift in a Mediterranean lizard

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We quantified dorsal luminosity and color composition of Psammodromus algirus in burned and adjacent unburned habitats at different times since fire. Lizards inhabiting recently burned areas displayed lighter dorsal coloration, particularly during the early stages of postfire succession, with the effect being more pronounced in larger individuals ...

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Samplify: a versatile tool for image‐based segmentation and annotation of seed abortion phenotypes

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Automated seed phenotyping has wide applications in research and agriculture and relies on easy‐to‐use platforms and pipelines. Seed phenotyping in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana poses a significant challenge due to the large number of tiny seeds produced by individual plants, which are difficult to manually separate and count.

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...
