Self‐Supervised Deep Learning Framework for Rician Distribution Based Denoising and Modeling of Multi‐b Prostate Diffusion MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are evaluated for improved and accelerated denoising and Rician bias correction in multi‐b DW images with simultaneous signal modeling. Methods Prostate diffusion images from 46 individuals acquired at 20 linearly distributed b‐values (bmax=2000s/mm2)$$ {b}_{\mathrm{max}}=2000\kern0.3em \mathrm{s}/{\

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Understanding the effects of patch‐burn grazing management on aboveground grassland invertebrate biodiversity

Oikos, EarlyView.
Landscape heterogeneity is widely recognized as a driver of biodiversity, yet its consequences for above‐ground, foliage‐dwelling insect communities under active grassland management remain underexplored. Patch‐burn grazing (PBG), which rotates fire across patches within a grazed landscape, is designed to promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity by ...

Shifting the paradigm: An Indigenous knowledge‐based stewardship plan to replenish boreal caribou in Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations' homelands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Indigenous Peoples in northern Alberta, including Dené and Cree of the Athabasca Chipewyan and Mikisew Cree First Nations (ACFN and MCFN), have been using Indigenous laws and stewardship principles to care for their homelands for thousands of years. Since ACFN and MCFN signed Treaty 8 with Canada in 1899, Alberta's land management policies and

Rheological Characterization and Multi‐Regime Viscosity Modeling of Diluted Polyethylene Mixtures

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
This study maps the flow behavior of low‐density polyethylene in a recycling solvent from dilute solutions to entangled melts. By integrating time–concentration and time–temperature superposition, and coupling three complementary rheometry methods, a unified semiempirical model accurately predicts steady‐shear viscosity over nine decades of viscosity ...

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...
