Enhancing forest drought resilience is important for preserving ecosystem services in the face of climate change, but operational management methods for boreal forests aiming to preserve ecosystem services under drought are still largely missing. This study explores the use of satellite remote sensing to monitor vegetation stress phases related to drought progression and to quantify both short- an

Climate may regulate dissolved organic carbon (DOC) composition across the peat-water interface, but experimental evidence is scarce. We manipulated the climate in peatland and recipient surface water mesocosms to reflect four different climate warming scenarios. In half of the mesocosms, the water level was managed to avoid drought, after which responses were recorded during two annual cycles. It

Measured ice crystal concentrations in natural clouds at modest supercooling (temperature ~>−10°C) are often orders of magnitude greater than the number concentration of primary ice nucleating particles. Therefore, it has long been proposed that a secondary ice production process must exist that is able to rapidly enhance the number concentration of the ice population following initial primary ice

The importance of phosphorus (P) in regulating ecosystem responses to climate change has fostered P-cycle implementation in land surface models, but their CO2 effects predictions have not been evaluated against measurements. Here, we perform a data-driven model evaluation where simulations of eight widely used P-enabled models were confronted with observations from a long-term free-air CO2 enrichm

While climate models broadly agree on the changes expected to occur over the Arctic with global warming on a pan-Arctic scale (i.e. polar amplification, sea ice loss, and increased precipitation), the magnitude and patterns of these changes at regional and local scales remain uncertain. This limits the usability of climate model projections for risk assessments and their impact on human activities

Introduction: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a target for diagnostic positron emission tomography (PET)-tracers and radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT), for example, [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617, in prostate cancer. This autoradiography study investigates [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 intratumoral distribution over time, compared with PSMA expression, proliferation (Ki67), and [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, [18F]F-PSMA

Substantial progress has been made in understanding the rate, the pathways, and the mechanisms regulating alveolar protein removal from the uninjured lung. Whole animal studies and cellular studies have demonstrated that the majority of alveolar epithelial protein clearance occurs by passive nondegradative diffusional pathways. Some evidence, however, has been recently presented that alveolar epit

Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgery worldwide. However, there is significant variation in practice both within and among countries. The European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery was established in 2007 to address this variation and improve the quality of care. Based on registry data from more than 500,000 surgeries, the registry developed the fir

As a first step towards understanding the regulatory mechanisms underlying the asynchronous oogenesis in repetitive spawning fish, full-length cDNAs encoding the receptors for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH-R) and luteinizing hormone (LH-R) were isolated from the gonads of the flatfish Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus). The predicted halibut FSH-R and LH-R of 664 and 698 amino acids,

Background: Subjects with non-O ABO blood group alleles have increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Glycosyltransferase activity is greater for the A(1) versus A(2) variant, whereas O01 and O02 variants are nonfunctioning. We hypothesized: 1) A(1) allele would confer greater risk than A(2) allele, 2) protective effect of the O allele would be equivalent for O01 and O02 variants, 3) secretor phenotyp

Background: In previous meta-analyses, tea consumption has been associated with lower incidence of type 2 diabetes. It is unclear, however, if tea is associated inversely over the entire range of intake. Therefore, we investigated the association between tea consumption and incidence of type 2 diabetes in a European population. Methodology/Principal Findings: The EPIC-InterAct case-cohort study wa

Plant species beta diversity is influenced by spatial heterogeneity in the environment. This heterogeneity can potentially be characterised with the help of remote sensing. We used WorldView-2 satellite data acquired over semi-natural grasslands on The Baltic island of Öland (Sweden) to examine whether dissimilarities in remote sensing response were related to fine-scale, between-plot dissimilarit

Objective. A refrigerator-stable formulation of ProQuad has been developed to expand the utility of ProQuad to areas in which maintenance of a frozen cold chain (- 15 degrees C or colder) during storage and transport may not be feasible. The objective of this study was to demonstrate that the immunogenicity and safety profiles of a refrigerator-stable formulation of ProQuad are similar to the rece
