American kestrel population trends and vital rates at the continental scale
Abstract The American kestrel (Falco sparverius, hereafter referred to as kestrel) has declined across much of its North American range since at least the mid‐1960s. Kestrel population dynamics have been explored through a multitude of local studies and two broad reviews of available data. Across large geographic extents, however, the demographic cause(

Risk‐Targeted Seismic Design Maps for Mexico
ABSTRACT Risk‐targeted seismic design maps for Mexico are presented. Risk‐targeted approach establishes an acceptable risk level, measured with the annual collapse probability, to determine seismic design coefficients. Seismic design maps are calculated for an annual probability of collapse of 1 × 10−4 and 2 × 10−4.

ABSTRACT Since the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami evacuation towers have been constructed in coastal regions based on worst‐case predictions to provide additional safety margins against unprecedented tsunamis. However, the extent to which such assumptions effectively reduce casualty risk remains unclear.

Astrocytic TCF7L2 Impacts Brain Osmoregulation and Restricts Neuronal Excitability
Astrocytic TCF7L2 impacts extracellular glutamate and glutamine levels. Loss of astrocytic TCF7L2 disrupts extracellular potassium clearance. TCF7L2‐dependent astrocytic changes reduce neuronal excitability. ABSTRACT Astrocytes differentiate and mature during postnatal development, but the molecular mechanisms linking their maturation to neuronal ...

ABSTRACT Viral load data provide critical insights into host‐pathogen interactions and guide clinical and public health decisions. Because frequent testing is often infeasible, viral dynamics models are used to reconstruct infection trajectories, but optimal sampling strategies remain unclear.
