Proximity to wind turbines altered plant–pollinator dynamics in prairie and sagebrush ecosystems in Wyoming, USA

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Wind turbines influence several abiotic conditions in the environments they are sited in and may influence the behavior and movement of insect pollinators. It is unknown how operating turbines influence plant–pollinator interactions. To investigate if pollination dynamics could be affected by the presence of wind turbines, we recorded videos of ...

Louise L. Pitman to Louis Thun, 1933

open access: yes, 2007
John C. Campbell Folk School instructor Louise L. Pitman sent this letter to Mr. Louis A. Thun in 1933 describing the basics of natural vegetable dyeing. She discusses two classes of materials; those that need mordants and those that do not.

Towards more reliable interdisciplinary modelling of global human–environment dynamics driving biodiversity change

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental problems are typically vast, urgent and complex. Confronted with such problems, we are often tempted to act fast by pulling together little bits and pieces from different fields and simply adding these to pre‐existing models and frameworks.

On Pitman domination

open access: yes, 1993
According to Pitman (1937), an estimator X is closer than an estimator Y to a scalar parameter [theta] (or, in the terminology used below, X Pitman-dominates Y) if Pr[subscript][theta]( ǁ X - [theta] ǁ 1/2, ∀[theta].This criterion is now called the ...

Managing soil fertility diversity to enhance resource use efficiencies in smallholder farming systems: a case from Murewa District, Zimbabwe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Smallholder farms in sub-Saharan African exhibit substantial heterogeneity in soil fertility, and nutrient resource allocation strategies that address this variability are required to increase nutrient use efficiencies.

Baicalein Sensitizes Radioresistant BT549 and MCF7‐R Breast Cancer Cells by Modulating Rac1 Signaling

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Radioresistance remains a key barrier in breast cancer (BC) treatment. Baicalein, a flavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis, has shown potential to enhance radiosensitivity. This study investigates its efficacy and mechanism in radioresistant BC models. Radioresistant BC cell models were established via fractionated irradiation and validated by

Water, Sanitation and Health: The World Bank's Financing of Sustainable Development Goal 6

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The World Bank has an explicit commitment to financing projects aimed at ensuring access to drinking water and sanitation (SDG 6), given their implications for countries' development. The objective of this study is to analyse its performance over the past decades, in order to understand the evolution of the allocated amount and the ...

Assessing the Effect of Large Igneous Provinces on Global Oceanic Redox Conditions Using Non‐traditional Metal Isotopes (Molybdenum, Uranium, Thallium)

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 305-323., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
