Olfaction Modulates Inter-Subject Correlation of Neural Responses
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Odors can be powerful stimulants. It is well-established that odors provide strong cues for recall of locations, people and events. The effects of specific scents on other cognitive functions are less well-established.

Determination of a novel size proxy in comparative morphometrics
South African Journal of Science, 2015 Absolute size is a critical determinant of organismal biology, yet there exists no real consensus as to what particular metric of ‘size’ is empirically valid in assessments of extinct mammalian taxa.

Exploring the physical controls of regional patterns of flow duration curves – Part 2: Role of seasonality, the regime curve, and associated process controls [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2012 The goal of this paper is to explore the process controls underpinning regional patterns of variations of streamflow regime behavior, i.e., the mean seasonal variation of streamflow within the year, across the continental United States.

Sensitivity of land–atmosphere coupling strength to changing atmospheric temperature and moisture over Europe [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2022 The quantification of land–atmosphere coupling strength is still challenging, particularly in the atmospheric segment of the local coupling process chain. This is in part caused by a lack of spatially comprehensive observations of atmospheric temperature

Fields in nonaffine bundles. III. Effective symmetries and conserved currents in strings and higher branes [PDF]
, 2009 The principles of a previously developed formalism for the covariant treatment of multi-scalar fields for which (as in a nonlinear sigma model) the relevant target space is not of affine type -- but curved -- are recapitulated.

Predictive Capacity of COVID-19 Test Positivity Rate
Sensors, 2021 COVID-19 infections can spread silently, due to the simultaneous presence of significant numbers of both critical and asymptomatic to mild cases. While, for the former reliable data are available (in the form of number of hospitalization and/or beds in ...

Monitoring sudden stratospheric warmings using radio occultation: a new approach demonstrated based on the 2009 event [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2021 We introduce a new method to detect and monitor sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) data at high northern latitudes and demonstrate it for the well-known January–February 2009 ...

Hospital Factors Impact Variation in Emergency Department Length of Stay More Than Physician Factors
Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2014 Introduction: To analyze the correlation between the many different emergency department (ED) treatment metric intervals and determine if the metrics directly impacted by the physician correlate to the “door to room” interval in an ED (interval ...
