Subsetting reduces the error of MIR spectroscopy models for soil organic carbon prediction in the U.S. Great Plains

Soil Security
High demand for soil organic carbon data to support soil health and climate change mitigation efforts must be met with rapid, accurate, and inexpensive measurement methods.

Testing capital structure theories using error correction models: Evidence from China, India, and South Africa

Cogent Economics & Finance, 2018
The objective of this study is to empirically examine the capital structure theories that can explain the capital structure choice made by the firms that are operating in China, India, and South Africa. The study tests the capital structure theories as a

Combination of 3D and 2D Small and Wide Angle X‐Ray Scattering Imaging Reveals Diminished Bone Quality in the Superior Human Femoral Neck Cortex

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Combined 2D and 3D X‐ray scattering imaging is used to analyse nanostructural properties in the inferior and superior cortex of 78 human femoral necks from 44 donors. The methodology allows for increased interpretation of nanostructure in a statistically relevant dataset, revealing nanostructural differences in anatomical locations critical to clinical

Resolving Heterogeneity of Targeted Lipid Nanoparticles Through Solution‐Based Biophysical Analyses

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
AF4‐UV‐DLS‐MALS‐SAXS resolves previously inaccessible targeted lipid nanoparticle (tLNP) subpopulations that differ in size, shape, and composition. Correlation of subpopulation‐resolved biophysical properties with in vivo RNA delivery reveals that targeted placental transfection is associated with distinct tLNP subpopulations rather than ensemble ...

Boolean Logic‐Based Control Over Recombinant Protein Biomaterial Degradability and Therapeutic Delivery

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Fully recombinant protein‐based biomaterials execute complex Boolean logic for user‐programmable material degradation and concomitant therapeutic cargo release. Biologics, such as growth factors, can be incorporated within the crosslinkers as “drugamers”, while encapsulated cells can be released according to nested YES/OR/AND‐type logical operations ...

Material Before Morphology: Substrate‐Dependent Mechanical Tuning of Radular Teeth

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Substrate‐dependent material tuning in Clausilia radular teeth. Closely related taxa retain a conserved gross tooth morphology, but differ in elemental composition and mechanical properties according to feeding substrate. Rock‐associated taxa show increased Ca–Si enrichment and higher stiffness and hardness, especially in the central radular region ...

Just another bike? Modelling the interdependence of conventional and electric bicycle ownership and the influence of topography using large-scale travel survey data from Germany.

PLoS ONE
Electrical bicycle ownership rates are growing rapidly. Despite differences to conventional cycling, the two types of bicycles are generally not differentiated in travel demand modelling practice.

Small Area Estimation under Poisson–Dirichlet Process Mixture Models

Axioms
In this paper, we propose an improved Nested Error Regression model in which the random effects for each area are given a prior distribution using the Poisson–Dirichlet Process. Based on this model, we mainly investigate the construction of the parameter

Predicting soil δ13C patterns in Brazil using nested datasets, feature selection, and machine learning

Ecological Informatics
Soil δ13C is an integrative indicator of carbon cycling, vegetation composition, and land use dynamics. Despite increasing availability of high-resolution environmental datasets, predicting soil δ13C remains challenging due to collinear and scale ...
