Factorization Machine‐Based Active Learning for Functional Materials Design with Optimal Initial Data

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This work investigates the optimal initial data size for surrogate‐based active learning in functional material optimization. Using factorization machine (FM)‐based quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) surrogates and averaged piecewise linear regression, we show that adequate initial data accelerates convergence, enhances efficiency, and ...

Tropical Forest Regeneration

, 2013
Following large-scale human or natural disturbances, the regeneration of tropical forests follows a progression of stages through which forest assemblages gradually become enriched with species and increase in structural and functional complexity. Successional pathways and rates of change vary widely according to the nature of prior land use, the ...

Evaluating the African arid corridor hypothesis: A meta‐analysis including the phylogenetic and biogeographical history of Sesamothamnus

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise We examined the African arid corridor (AAC) disjunction pattern of vascular plants between northeastern and southwestern Africa in the context of geological and climatic events since the late Miocene. We developed a phylogenetic and biogeographical framework for the arid‐adapted genus Sesamothamnus (Pedaliaceae), a classic example of ...

Pharmacological evaluation of Adenostemma lavenia acetone extract in Swiss Albino mice: Analgesic, anti‐inflammatory, and thrombolytic insights from in vivo, in vitro, density functional theory, and molecular docking studies

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Adenostemma lavenia, a traditionally used medicinal plant, has been employed to manage pain, inflammation, and circulatory issues. This study investigates the analgesic, anti‐inflammatory, and thrombolytic potentials of the acetone extract of A. lavenia leaves (AEAL) using in vivo, in vitro, and in silico methods.

Height-diameter allometry of tropical forest trees [PDF]

, 2011
Tropical tree height-diameter (H:D) relationships may vary by forest type and region making large-scale estimates of above-ground biomass subject to bias if they ignore these differences in stem allometry.

DIOECISM IN TROPICAL FOREST TREES [PDF]

Evolution, 1975
The existence of dioecism among angiosperms is universally acknowledged, yet is poorly understood both from the ecological and evolutionary points of view. The reason for this hiatus might be that some have believed the relative proportion of dioecious taxa to be low (Yamplosky and Yamplosky, 1922; Lewis, 1942), while others have felt that since the ...

Compositional Characterization, Quality Parameters, and Physicochemical and Bioactive Properties of Pequi (Caryocar brasiliense) Oils From Xingu and Cerrado in Mato Grosso, Brazil

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
Cerrado oil is richer in MUFA and antioxidant compounds, while Xingu oil shows higher SFA and enhanced oxidative stability, reinforcing the potential of pequi oil as a sustainable bioactive ingredient. ABSTRACT Pequi (Caryocar brasiliense) is a native fruit widely distributed in Brazilian biomes, specially in Cerrado, known for its high oil yield and ...

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...
