Quality Enhancement of Glacier Velocity Time Series via Phase-Space Reconstruction

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Accurate estimation of glacier surface velocity using the pixel offset tracking small baseline subset (PO-SBAS) technique depends critically on the quality of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) offset observations. However, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of

Bank Retreat Mechanisms Driven by Debris Flow Surges: A Parameterized Model Based on the Results of Physical Experiments

Water Resources Research
Lateral erosion is a critical factor that influences the formation and amplification of debris flows. However, our understanding of the bank retreat process in debris flow channels is limited, which limits the evaluation of debris flow magnitudes and the

Noninvasive Glucose Detection with Biodegradable Electrodes from Rice Starch Functionalized with a Carbon Quantum Dot/Nickel Oxide Nanocomposite

Analysis &Sensing, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows an eco‐friendly approach to fabricating a biodegradable electrochemical sensor. Carbon quantum dot/nickel oxide (CQD/NiO) nanocomposites are synthesized using Aloe arborescens leaf extract, which served as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent.

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

The quest for countryside support schemes for mountain areas in Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) [PDF]

Regional divergence between different areas of CEECs has considerably risen over the integration period into Western Europe economy in last decade. The EU enlargement process thus has to pay specific attention to its regional implications and to effects ...

In‐vitro puncture experiment using alligator teeth tracks the formation of dental microwear and its association with hardness of the diet

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part I Reproducibility of diet inference using different instruments

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has become a well‐established method for dietary inference and reconstruction in both extant and extinct mammals and other tetrapods. As the volume of available data continues to grow, researchers could benefit from combining published data from various studies to perform meta‐analyses.
