Fine Particulate Matter Constituents, Ozone, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Large General‐Population Cohort Analysis With Extended Quantile g‐Computation

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate whether exposure to mixture of individual fine particulate matter (PM2.5) chemical constituents is associated with incident systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and if ozone modifies this association and/or is associated with SLE onset.

Vegetation optical depth as a key predictor for fire risk escalation

Ecological Informatics
Excluding direct consideration of vegetation dynamics reduces the accuracy in fire risk estimation. Satellite retrievals of vegetation dynamics can enhance the fire risk prediction when used as indicators of fuel water status and fuel load.

L-Band Vegetation Optical Depth Estimation Using Transmitted GNSS Signals: Application to GNSS-Reflectometry and Positioning

Remote Sensing, 2020
At L-band (1–2 GHz), and particularly in microwave radiometry (1.413 GHz), vegetation has been traditionally modeled with the τ-ω model. This model has also been used to compensate for vegetation effects in Global Navigation Satellite Systems ...

Sentinel-1 vegetation optical depth retrievals over the international soil moisture network

International Journal of Digital Earth
Vegetation optical depth (VOD), a microwave-based vegetation index for vegetation water content and biomass, is primarily retrieved from low spatial resolution passive microwave data, and few studies have focused on VOD retrievals from active microwave ...

From pathogen to “living drug factory” innovative strategies and clinical translation of bacteria as programmable intelligent vectors for cancer therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Engineered bacteria serve as smart, living therapeutics that target tumors, deliver drugs, and remodel immunosuppressive microenvironments. This review highlights their potential to potentiate immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, offering a promising paradigm for precise and synergistic cancer treatment. Abstract The dynamic interplay between

Research Note:The comparison of two models that determine the effects of a vegetation canopy on passive microwave emission [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 1999
Two contrasting models are used to account for the effects of vegetation on microwave emission from the soil. These are: a simple model which requires two empirically derived parameters as input data (optical depth and single scattering albedo); and a ...

Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...
