Simulated elephant foraging alters tree root exudation rates: Species‐specific responses and implications for belowground carbon dynamics in tropical forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

Polar‐low track prediction using machine‐learning methods

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Machine‐learning models are developed to produce reliable and efficient forecasts of polar‐low (PL) trajectories 12 hours ahead. A temporal model (RLSTM) benefiting from the rolling‐forecast strategy, improves overall prediction accuracy and is suitable for quick experimentation, while a spatiotemporal model (PL‐UNet), incorporating both historical and

Extraction of exact symbolic stationary probability formulas for Markov chains with finite space with application to production lines. Part I: description of methodology

Frontiers in Manufacturing Technology
IntroductionMarkov chains are a powerful tool for modeling systems in various scientific domains, including queueing theory. These models are characterized by their ability to maintain complexity at a low level due to a property known as the Markov ...

White matter hyperintensities and their role in major depressive episodes: a cross-sectional study in adults under 65 [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Psychiatry
Objective: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are associated with major depressive episodes (MDE) in individuals aged 65 and older. WMH are prevalent in adults under 65, yet the association between their volume and MDE in this population remains ...

Fragmenta: A theory of fragmentation for MDE

2015 ACM/IEEE 18th International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS), 2015
Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) promotes models throughout development. However, models may become large and unwieldy even for small to medium-sized systems. This paper tackles the MDE challenges of model complexity and scalability. It proposes Fragmenta, a theory of modular design that breaks down overall models into fragments that can be put together ...

Veterinary nurses report good interprofessional collaboration with veterinarians, as measured by the Nurse–Physician Collaboration Scale

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Veterinary practices provide exceptional patient care and client support when there is effective teamwork between veterinary nurses and veterinarians. However, the frequency of this interprofessional collaboration has not been measured. Methods A cross‐sectional online survey, using the Nurse‒Physician Collaboration Scale to measure
