New opportunities for bioscaffold‐enabled spinal cord injury repair

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of bioscaffolds for spinal cord injury repair. We summarize the effects of bioscaffold properties on SCI repair, highlight different types of bioscaffolds, various fabrication strategies, and in vivo transformations for the clinical development of SCI‐repairing bioscaffolds.

Sap Flow Analyzer: A tool to standardize sap flow estimation and scaling to whole‐tree water use using the HFD method

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Sap flow measurements are fundamental to understanding water use in trees and could aid in predicting climate change effects on forest function. Deriving knowledge from such measurements requires empirical calibrations and upscaling methods to translate ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Ecosystem warming increases sap flow rates of northern red oak trees

Ecosphere, 2016
Over the next century, air temperature increases up to 5°C are projected for the northeastern United States. As evapotranspiration strongly influences water loss from terrestrial ecosystems, the ecophysiological response of trees to warming will have ...

Comparison of heat balance- (Čermák) and heat dissipation- (Granier) derived sap flow measurements in ring-porous oaks and a pine species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012
Sap flow measurements have become integral in many physiological and ecological investigations. A number of methods are used to estimate sap flow rates in trees, but probably the most popular is the heat dissipation method (Granier) because of its ...

Leading the Loop: Anchor‐Led Orchestration in Nascent Circular Ecosystems—A Qualitative Case Study

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition towards a circular economy necessitates coordinated, systemic change across value chains. Yet the role of anchor firms in initiating and orchestrating nascent circular ecosystems remains underexplored. Using an inductive, qualitative single‐case design, we analyse a German mid‐sized entrepreneurial firm, drawing on 21 interviews

Characterization of a two‐phase hybrid flotation column

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explored the performance of a novel hybrid flotation column, which combines the advantages of a mechanically agitated cell with a flotation column and compared the results with a conventional flotation column setup. The experiments were performed in an air/water two‐phase system under varying airflow rates, frother concentrations ...

Improved sap flow prediction: A comparative deep learning study based on LSTM, BiLSTM, LRCN, and GRU with stem diameter data

Smart Agricultural Technology
Introduction Recording sap flow in plants is essential to understanding water usage, especially for herbaceous species like tomatoes. While plant physiology research has progressed, there remains a gap in applying sap flow sensor data to these species ...
