Responses of Water Use Efficiency to Drought in Southwest China

Remote Sensing, 2020
Water use efficiency (WUE) measures the tradeoff between carbon uptake and water consumption in terrestrial ecosystems. It remains unclear how the responses of WUE to drought vary with drought severity.

Nucleic Acid‐Based Molecular Machines for Biological Applications

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Molecular machines are devices assembled from molecules with specific functions. In this review, the development of DNA nanostructures, which are then assembled into molecular machines, is summarized. Their classification and biological applications, such as biosensing, targeted therapy, and molecular circuits are introduced.

Automated Plantation Mapping in Southeast Asia Using MODIS Data and Imperfect Visual Annotations

Remote Sensing, 2020
Expansion of large-scale tree plantations for commodity crop and timber production is a leading cause of tropical deforestation. While automated detection of plantations across large spatial scales and with high temporal resolution is critical to inform ...

Recombinant Monoclonal Antibodies for Detecting the Tubulin Post‐Translational Modifications Glutamylation and Lysine‐40 Acetylation

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) to tubulin subunits in microtubule filaments are thought to comprise a component of the tubulin code that specifies microtubule functions in cell physiology and animal development. Acetylation of Lysine‐40 (K40) on α‐tubulin (αTub‐K40ac) and glutamylation of both α‐ and β‐tubulin are two tubulin PTMs of ...

Collecting new targets in MODY [PDF]

Cell Metabolism, 2005
Transcriptional regulation is crucial in the function of the pancreatic β cell and diabetes, as evidenced by the human MODY families. Work from Fukui and colleagues (Fukui et al., 2005) and Akpinar and colleagues (Akpinar et al., 2005) in this issue of Cell Metabolism identifies a target of the MODY3 transcription factor HNF-1α that appears to function

Sustainability Performance and Corporate Risk: Evidence From the Tourism Industry

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the impact of sustainability performance (Refinitiv Environmental, Social, and Governance [ESG] scores) on corporate risk (CR). We apply stakeholder theory and the resource‐based view to an international sample of 247 tourism firms from 2002 to 2018.

Transforming Agricultural Water Management Through the Water–Energy–Food Nexus: Trends, Opportunities, Barriers and Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural water management (AWM) is increasingly transitioning towards transformative thinking, where interconnected sectors, including water, energy and food, are managed holistically. Trends point towards cross‐sectoral and harmonised strategies to optimise water use efficiency and productivity, integrate renewable energy, promote ...

The Impact of a Buyer's Incentives and Organizational Structure on Suppliers' Quality

Journal of Operations Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in a buyer organization's incentives and structure can have a significant impact on supply chain performance, such as the quality of sourced components. We examine this relationship using data from a unique quasi‐experiment where one of the two plants of a buyer introduced long‐term quality improvement incentives and a more organic ...
