IECAU-Net: A Wood Defects Image Segmentation Network Based on Improved Attention U-Net and Attention Mechanism

BioResources
Saw wood cracks are defects that affect the appearance and mechanical strength of sawn wood. Crack defects in the surface of sawn wood can be readily detected.

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Effects of Lycium barbarum Residue Substituting Dietary Maize on Fecal Microbiota and Growth Performance of Crossbred Simmental Cattle

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The bioactive substances we extracted from Lycium barbarum residue (LBR) have a typical polysaccharide structure. When 1.80% LBR was used to replace maize in the diet, the average daily gain of rossbred Simmental was significantly increased, and anti‐inflammatory ability was improved. In addition, LBR improved the fecal microbial composition, increased

The Potential Role of Synovial T Cell Infiltration Following Knee Joint Injury in Symptoms and Progression to Osteoarthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Identification of osteoarthritis (OA)–specific synovial inflammatory pathways and their temporal relevance is critical for therapeutic targeting. We compared mononuclear inflammatory/immune cell responses following joint injury that does or does not lead to OA to define bona fide OA‐associated cellular events.

A narrow window of summer temperatures associated with shrub growth in Arctic Alaska

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Warming in recent decades has triggered shrub expansion in Arctic and alpine tundra, which is transforming these temperature-limited ecosystems and altering carbon and nutrient cycles, fire regimes, permafrost stability, land-surface climate-feedbacks ...

The gift remembered: The Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) Anatomical Donor Stewardship's ethical and practical handbook for anatomy donor tributes

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Providing students with a way to honor human body donors during or after an anatomy course has been shown to help provide a sense of closure and comfort to students and, when present, donor families. Gestures of gratitude for donors can also emphasize humanistic values of respect, empathy, and professionalism.

Topographic Roughness as an Emergent Property of Geomorphic Processes and Events

AGU Advances
Earth's terrestrial surfaces commonly exhibit topographic roughness at the scale of meters to tens of meters. In soil‐ and sediment‐mantled settings topographic roughness may be framed as a competition between roughening and smoothing processes.

Short-term impacts of nitrogen fertilization on the cover of vascular plant and bryophyte species in boreal Scots pine and Norway spruce stands

Silva Fennica
Nitrogen (N) fertilization increases carbon sequestration and wood production in boreal upland forests and thus supports climate change mitigation. Excess N may, however, alter the cover, biomass and biodiversity of the ground vegetation.

Data, not documents: Moving beyond theories of information‐seeking behavior to advance data discovery

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 649-664, April 2025.
Abstract Many theories of human information behavior (HIB) assume that information objects are in text document format. This paper argues four important HIB theories are insufficient for describing users' search strategies for data because of assumptions about the attributes of objects that users seek.

PLANT SPECIES DIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING IN NATIVE SAVANNAS AND GRASSLANDS OF THE PLATEAU IN THE META DEPARTMENT, COLOMBIA

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems
Background: livestock farming has been based on establishing extensive breeding systems (i.e., low density of individuals per unit area). Despite the high diversity of flora in the savanna in the Orinoco plateau of Colombia, there is still a knowledge ...
