Bridging canopy light interception and absorption: Toward a multi-scale radiometric framework for precision irrigation in woody crops

Science of Remote Sensing
Optimizing irrigation in orchards is increasingly challenged by climatic variability, water scarcity, and structural heterogeneity, requiring indicators that robustly link canopy architecture with transpiration and energy exchange processes. The fraction

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

Angular distribution and interception of diffuse solar radiation [PDF]

, 1977
The estimation of the irradiance of sloping surfaces from standard meteorological measurements requires knowledge of the geometrical distribution of scattered radiation from the sky. Measurements of the radiance distribution of cloudless skies were made with a Linke-Feussner actinometer.

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

Age, Sex, and Location Impact Osteochondritis Dissecans Lesion Depth and Their Relation to the Physis in Skeletally Immature Knees

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To characterize the size of medial and lateral femoral condyle osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions and their relation to the physis in skeletally immature patients. Methods Skeletally immature patients from 2008 to 2023 with medial or lateral femoral condyle OCD lesions on magnetic resonance imaging were included.

Cancer in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Associations and Prognostic Impact From the EUSTAR Registry

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Cancer represents a major cause of death in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Established risk factors are limited to specific subsets, particularly early diffuse anti‐RNA polymerase III (POLR3)–positive disease, needing further exploration. Methods We performed a nested case‐control study within the European Scleroderma Trials and Research group ...

The angular distribution and interception of diffuse solar radiation below overcast skies [PDF]

The angular distribution of diffuse radiation was measured from May 1976 to May 1977 with a set of purpose-built actinometers. Radiance distributions for 98 overcast hours were fitted well by an expression similar to the conventional function for a ...

Plasma Proteomics Identifies Molecular Signatures and Biomarkers Associated With High Structural Damage in Ankylosing Spondylitis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Pathologic bone formation in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is not fully reflected by systemic inflammation, limiting the utility of markers of inflammation for structural damage assessment. This study aimed to identify plasma protein signatures associated with structural damage severity in AS.

Integrating ultrasound teaching is associated with higher medical student assessment performance and positive perceptions of learning anatomy: A multi‐site mixed‐methods study

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The integration of ultrasound imaging into preclinical anatomy teaching is often questioned with respect to its objective impact on anatomical knowledge. This study aimed to (i) evaluate short‐term knowledge gain following ultrasound‐integrated anatomy teaching, (ii) characterize students' perceptions of the learning experience, and (iii ...

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.
