Simulated Trampling Disturbance Alters Biocrust Microbial Communities and Soil Functions: A Container‐Based Mesocosm Experiment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are crucial components of dryland ecosystems; however, they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances, particularly trampling caused by grazing. To evaluate the impacts of trampling on biocrust structure, microbial communities, and soil functions, we conducted a mesocosm‐based simulated disturbance ...

Application of Organic Superabsorbent Cellulosic Polymers (OSCPs) and Cyanobacteria on Reduction of Aeolian Losses

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Establishing biocrusts on sandy surfaces in harsh desert environments presents significant challenges due to extreme ecological conditions. To address these challenges, this study examined the effects of two organic superabsorbent cellulosic polymers (OSCPs)—carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum (GUA)—on the establishment of ...

The b‐Value Dependence for Higher‐Degree Spherical Harmonic Powers of the Diffusion MRI Signal Follows Stick Model Predictions in White Matter

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To compare the dependence on b‐value of the spherical harmonic powers for the diffusion MRI signal in white matter to theoretical predictions from the stick model of water diffusion within axons. Methods Diffusion MRI data were acquired at 3 T in three healthy adults with 10 b‐value shells (b = 1000–10 000 s/mm2) and 64 directions per ...

Repurposing antimicrobial agents for neuroprotection: Mechanisms, clinical potential, and challenges

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial agents exert neuroprotective effects through modulation of interconnected pathways. Tetracyclines, macrolides, antimalarial agents, sulfones, and antiparasitic agents suppress neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis while preserving mitochondrial function and neurotransmission.

Opening the Black Box of Nonprofit Reputation and Volunteer Attraction With Supervised Machine Learning

Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With the aim to explore the potential of machine learning for nonprofit research, this article contrasts traditional linear regression with four contemporary supervised machine learning approaches. Concretely, we predict (1) reputation ratings and (2) the total number of volunteers for 4021 non‐profit organizations in the U.S.

Navigating human landscapes with offspring: female bears consume human subsidies but avoid risk through spatiotemporal landscape selection

Oikos, EarlyView.
Human‐altered landscapes provide predictable and energy‐rich food subsidies but also create risk from increased human conflict and heightened intra‐specific interactions. This tradeoff is particularly acute for reproductive females, who must balance higher energetic demands with increased vulnerability of offspring.
