Assembly of a marine viral metagenome after physical fractionation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Metagenomic analyses of marine viruses generate an overview of viral genes present in a sample, but the percentage of the resulting sequence fragments that can be reassembled is low and the phenotype of the virus from which a given sequence derives is ...

Density fractions versus size separates: does physical fractionation isolate functional soil compartments? [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 Physical fractionation is a widely used methodology to study soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics, but concerns have been raised that the available fractionation methods do not well describe functional SOM pools.

How biased is size fractionation derived mineral-associated organic carbon? [PDF]
GeodermaMineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) is regarded as the more persistent soil organic carbon (SOC) as opposed to the more fast-cycling particulate organic carbon (POC).

Crystal Fractionation by Crystal‐Driven Convection [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Fractional crystallization is an essential process proposed to explain worldwide compositional abundances of igneous rocks. It requires crystals to precipitate from the melt and segregate from its residual melt, or experience crystal fractionation.

Carbon stocks in organic matter fractions as affected by land use and soil management, with emphasis on no-tillage effect [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2002 Land use and soil management may affect both labile and humified soil organic matter (SOM) fractions, but the magnitude of these changes is poorly known in subtropical environments.

Physics of fractional imaging in biomedicine [PDF]
Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2018 The mathematics of imaging is a growing field of research and is evolving rapidly parallel to evolution in the field of imaging. Imaging, which is a sub-field of biomedical engineering, considers novel approaches to visualize biological tissues with the general goal of improving health.

Fraction ball: Playful and physically active fraction and decimal learning.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021 This study tested a novel approach to capitalizing on the benefits of play for informal math learning. Two experiments evaluated a platform called “Fraction Ball”, that provides an embodied, playful, and physically active learning experience by modifying the lines on a basketball court to support rational number learning.
