From Past to Future: Overall Patterns, Nonlinear Relationships, Spatial Heterogeneity and Drivers of Ecosystem Service Trade‐Offs and Synergies in the Yangtze River Economic Belt

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land‐use change and climate change are reshaping watershed ecological functions and may intensify the risk of localized ecological degradation. However, existing studies have primarily focused on the spatiotemporal patterns of ecosystem services (ESs) during historical periods, while the nonlinear changes, spatial heterogeneity, and driving ...

Gender, Stereotypes, and Competitive Performance Gap: An Experimental Investigation

open access: yesManagerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how participants in competition react to gender stereotypes in performance. We propose two novel gender‐oriented tasks: clicking as a male‐oriented task and face recall as a female‐oriented task with two treatment conditions, which can strengthen shared gender stereotypes and foster gender competition.

Omics GWAS: A Multi‐Omics Integrative Analysis Platform for Genome‐Wide Association Studies

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With the rapid advancement of genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), downstream analyses of GWAS data have become essential for elucidating the genetic mechanisms that underlie complex diseases. However, current post‐GWAS analyses face numerous challenges, including heterogeneous data formats, challenges in multi‐omics integration, and ...

Robust Position Control of an Electro‐Hydraulic Actuator via Metaheuristic Optimization of a Fractional‐Order PID Controller

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, a robust position control strategy is presented for a two‐stage electro‐hydraulic actuator system using a fractional‐order proportional–integral–derivative (FOPID) controller tuned by Kirchhoff's law algorithm (KLA). Electro‐hydraulic systems exhibit strong nonlinearities, parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances ...

Treatment Preferences of Patients With Myasthenia Gravis: A Qualitative Study

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The burden of myasthenia gravis (MG) is often underestimated, and studies usually focus on the symptom burden. However, treatment‐related adverse events also contribute to patients' burdens and affect their treatment decisions.

Life history stability under climate change: a wildflower at the northern edge of its range

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Stabilities of life history traits for a widespread native perennial wildflower, Rudbeckia laciniata L., are described for five populations near the northern edge of its range in North America. Theory proposes that such populations experience variable levels of stress as suitable abiotic conditions shift north or south from year to year, which ...

How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

Mapping QTL for popping expansion volume in popcorn with simple sequence repeat markers

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2003
Popping expansion volume is the most important quality trait in popcorn ( Zea mays L.), but its genetics is not well understood. The objectives of this study were to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for popping expansion volume in a popcorn x dent corn cross, and to compare the predicted efficiencies of phenotypic selection, marker-based ...

Effect of some pretreatments on popping expansion of rice

Journal of Cereal Science, 1991
Pre-drying of paddy (var. Intan) to 9% moisture before finally adjusting it to the optimum moisture of 14% greatly improved its popping expansion. This benefit seemed to originate from improved lemma-patea interlocking and greater grain hardness brought about during pre-drying.
