Joint Sentinel-1 and SMAP data assimilation to improve soil moisture estimates [PDF]

, 2017
SMAP (Soil Moisture Active and Passive) radiometer observations at similar to 40 km resolution are routinely assimilated into the NASA Catchment Land Surface Model to generate the 9 km SMAP Level-4 Soil Moisture product.

Decoding the Integrated Stress Response of Pancreatic Cancer: Identifying a Serine‐dependent Tumor Subset Under Metabolic Relationships With CAFs.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Researchers identified a pancreatic cancer subset with low global protein synthesis but heightened translation of stress‐response genes like ATF4, rendering cells resistant to chemotherapy and apoptosis. These tumors depend on serine and cysteine from surrounding cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which shift to produce serine by curbing collagen ...

Estimating Live Fuel Moisture Using SMAP L-Band Radiometer Soil Moisture for Southern California, USA

Remote Sensing, 2019
Live fuel moisture (LFM) is a field-measured indicator of vegetation water content and a crucial observation of vegetation flammability. This study presents a new multi-variant regression model to estimate LFM in the Mediterranean ecosystem of Southern ...

Q-Exact Actions for BF Theories

, 1994
The actions for all classical (and consequently quantum) $BF$ theories on $n$-manifolds is proven to be given by anti-commutators of hermitian, nilpotent, scalar fermionic charges with Grassmann-odd functionals. In order to show this, the space of fields

Stagewise crop yield prediction with multisource functional indices

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Index insurance design involves integrating weather data, soil moisture, phenology information, and satellite imagery, which presents challenges in data fusion. This article addresses the modelling of multisource functional indices of varying lengths by constructing a stagewise ensemble of sequential models.

Inadequate Zinc Intake in Adolescents Aggravates Inflammatory Bowel Disease by Inhibiting Antibody Class Switch Recombination in Mucosal B Cells Through Intestinal Microbial‐Derived KMV

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
The study reveals that inadequate zinc intake disrupts gut microbiota's ability to degrade isoleucine, leading to the accumulation of metabolite KMV. KMV inhibits antibody class‐switching in mucosal B cells by suppressing the p‐ATM‐CTIP‐Hmces pathway, impairing IgA/IgG production.

Use of a competitive probe in assay design for genotyping of the UGT1A1*28 microsatellite polymorphism by the smart amplification process

BioTechniques, 2007
A key feature of the smart amplification process version 2 (SMAP-2) is the ability to suppress mismatch amplification by using a unique asymmetric primer design and Thermus aquaticus MutS (Taq MutS).

Agricultural Drought Monitoring via the Assimilation of SMAP Soil Moisture Retrievals Into a Global Soil Water Balance Model

Frontiers in Big Data, 2020
From an agricultural perspective, drought refers to an unusual deficiency of plant available water in the root-zone of the soil profile. This paper focuses on evaluating the benefit of assimilating soil moisture retrievals from the Soil Moisture Active ...

Discovery of structural and functional transition sites for membrane-penetrating activity of sheep myeloid antimicrobial peptide-18

Scientific Reports, 2023
Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptides have an extended and/or unstructured conformation in aqueous solutions but fold into ordered conformations, such as the α-helical structure, when interacting with cellular membranes. These structural transitions can be
