Spatial variability of soil properties and soil erodibility in the Alqueva reservoir watershed

, 2015
. The aim of this work is to investigate how the spatial variability of soil properties and soil erodibility ($K$ factor) were affected by the changes in land use allowed by irrigation with water from a reservoir in a semiarid area.

Cis‐regulatory and long noncoding RNA alterations in breast cancer – current insights, biomarker utility, and the critical need for functional validation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The noncoding region of the genome plays a key role in regulating gene expression, and mutations within these regions are capable of altering it. Researchers have identified multiple functional noncoding mutations associated with increased cancer risk in the genome of breast cancer patients.

How model and input uncertainty impact maize yield simulations in West Africa

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
Crop models are common tools for simulating crop yields and crop production in studies on food security and global change. Various uncertainties however exist, not only in the model design and model parameters, but also and maybe even more important in ...

Assessing the Role of Spatial Rainfall Variability on Watershed Response based on Weather Radar Data (A Case Study of the Gard Region, France)

International Journal of Technology, 2018
The primary input for hydrological the hydrological model is rainfall. The accurate illustration of rainfall in time and space is important for rainfall-runoff modeling since it impact the hydrological responses.

Sex Differences in Spatial Accuracy Relate to the Neural Activation of Antagonistic Muscles in Young Adults [PDF]

, 2017
Sex is an important physiological variable of behavior, but its effect on motor control remains poorly understood. Some evidence suggests that women exhibit greater variability during constant contractions and poorer accuracy during goal-directed tasks ...

Environmental vs demographic variability in stochastic predator-prey models

, 2013
In contrast to the neutral population cycles of the deterministic mean-field Lotka--Volterra rate equations, including spatial structure and stochastic noise in models for predator-prey interactions yields complex spatio-temporal structures associated ...

Spatial and temporal variability of biogenic isoprene emissions from a temperate estuary [PDF]

, 2012
[1] Isoprene is important for its atmospheric impacts and the ecophysiological benefits it affords to emitting organisms; however, isoprene emissions from marine systems remain vastly understudied compared to terrestrial systems.

Spatial and Temporal Variability of the PM2.5/PM10 Ratio in Wuhan, Central China

Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2017
Fine particles (PM2.5) and coarse particles (PM2.5–10) are generally produced by different sources, so the PM2.5/PM10 ratio reveals characteristics of particle pollution.

Strength through diversity: how cancers thrive when clones cooperate

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Intratumor heterogeneity can offer direct benefits to the tumor through cooperation between different clones. In this review, Kuiken et al. discuss existing evidence for clonal cooperativity to identify overarching principles, and highlight how novel technological developments could address remaining open questions.

Preventive planning model for rescue priority management in seismic emergency [PDF]

, 2018
Natural materials, such as soils, are influenced by many factors acting during their formative and evolutionary process: atmospheric agents, erosion and transport phenomena, sedimentation conditions that give soil properties a non-reducible randomness by
