Disentangling mechanisms that mediate soil fungal α and β diversity during forest secondary succession

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity is a central, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial ecology. Although species pools and local assembly processes are believed to play non‐negligible roles in shaping the within‐community (α) and among‐community (β) diversity of microbial communities, their relative importance as ...

Modeling and Analyzing Urban Networks and Amenities With OSMnx

Geographical Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT OSMnx is a Python package for downloading, modeling, analyzing, and visualizing urban networks and any other geospatial features from OpenStreetMap data. A large and growing body of literature uses it to conduct scientific studies across the disciplines of geography, urban planning, transport engineering, computer science, and others.

Masking Ability of CAD‐CAM Materials at Different Thicknesses: A Study on Color, Translucency, and Infinite Optical Thickness

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the masking ability of different thicknesses of CAD‐CAM resin‐matrix and feldspar porcelain materials. Materials and Methods Specimens (Ø7.5 mm, thickness 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm, n = 3/material) were fabricated from Lava Ultimate‐LU, Grandio Blocs‐GB, VITA Enamic‐VE, and VITA Mark II‐VM.

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Tensor Changepoint Detection and Eigenbootstrap

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tensor data consisting of multivariate outcomes over the items and across the subjects with longitudinal and cross‐sectional dependence are considered. A completely distribution‐free and tweaking‐parameter‐free detection procedure for changepoints at different locations is designed, which does not require training data.

On the photon–classical electromagnetic field relationship

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper discusses how the two ways in which the wavefunction of a free‐propagating photon can be introduced—starting from the relativistic energy−momentum relationship or based on the electromagnetic field, in particular on Riemann–Silberstein vectors—are not entirely equivalent since they can lead to different consequences regarding photon

Does Less Education Harm Health? Evidence From a Natural Experiment in a Developing Country

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the health outcome effects of a reduction in years of schooling in Egypt in 1988, a policy change that moves in the opposite direction in relation to the extant literature. We exploit this policy change as a natural experiment and employ a fuzzy regression discontinuity design to investigate a range of objectively measured ...

Deciphering the performance of different surface models for corneal topography

Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To study the performance of different corneal surface models to be used for ray tracing. Models based on geometric surfaces and polynomial fits were compared and the differences discussed. Methods For this simulation study, five characteristic generic surface configurations were generated: (A) perfect biconic, (B) decentred biconic ...

Image of mathematics: A case study of two women's early mathematics experiences

School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
Abstract People often view mathematics as abstract, cold, and irrelevant to real life, and their school experiences likely influence such views. In this case study, we investigated the mathematics experiences of two women who participated in an afterschool girls‐only STEM club 30 years ago when they were in fifth and sixth grades.

A mile high and an inch deep: Exploring ChatGPT as a mathematics curriculum development tool

School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has issues, including inherent bias and inaccurate information, yet it has not stifled individuals' use of this technology in the mathematics classroom. Thus, we conducted a document analysis to investigate ChatGPT, a generative AI chatbot, constructing elementary mathematical tasks to determine how ...
