Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis by Stears, AE, Heidel, B, Paniw, M, Salguero-Gómez, R, Laughlin, DC

“…Consequently, several mechanisms have been proposed to explain their persistence, including negative density dependence, demographic compensation, vital rate buffering, asynchronous responses of subpopulations to environmental heterogeneity, and fine-scale source-sink dynamics. Persistence of seeds in a seed bank, which is often ignored in models of population dynamics, can also buffer small populations against collapse. …”

Cadmium isotope fractionation during adsorption onto calcite by Peng, H, Liu, P, Zheng, H, Belshaw, NS, Hu, S, Zhu, Z

“…The enrichment of lighter Cd isotopes may result from highly distorted octahedral Cdsingle bondO6 sites of inner-sphere Cd complexes on calcite, indicated by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). However, near identical coordination environments of the aqueous and sorbed Cd species in the presence of PO43− likely led to the reduced Cd isotope fractionation. …”

Characterising human disparity tuning properties using population receptive field mapping by Alvarez, I, Mancari, A, Ip, IB, Parker, AJ, Bridge, H

“…Finally, the individual thresholds for psychophysical stereoacuity at the 3 different pedestal disparities were broadly related to population receptive field tuning width in area V1, suggesting a possible limit for fine stereopsis at the earliest level of cortical processing. …”

Investigating the role of factor inhibiting HIF (FIH) in tumourigenesis by Ma, J

“…Factor Inhibiting HIF (FIH), an oxygen-dependent hydroxylase of HIF, inhibits the transcription of selective HIF target genes, and is hence a potential therapeutic target to fine-tune HIF activity. However, how FIH may affect tumourigenesis has not been comprehensively investigated.…”

A driftwood-based record of Arctic sea ice during the last 500 years from northern Svalbard reveals sea ice dynamics in the Arctic Ocean and Arctic peripheral seas by Hole, GM, Rawson, T, Farnsworth, WR, Schomacker, A, Ingólfsson, Ó, Macias-Fauria, M

“…Provenance and age determinations by dendrochronology and wood anatomy provide insights into Arctic Ocean currents and climatic conditions at a fine spatial resolution, as crossdating with reference chronologies from the circum-Arctic boreal forests enables determination of the watershed the driftwood originated from. …”

Evaluating new malaria vaccine candidates by Noé, A

“…In a human efficacy study of prime-target vaccination, multi-omic analyses were performed on hepatic fine needle aspirates and peripheral blood samples to study liver TRM and their circulating counterparts. …”

Nebular dominated galaxies: insights into the stellar initial mass function at high redshift by Cameron, AJ, Katz, H, Witten, C, Saxena, A, Laporte, N, Bunker, A

“…Modelling the UV turnover with a DLA requires extreme column densities (𝑁HI > 1023 cm−2 ), and simultaneously explaining the high 𝑓esc,Ly𝛼 requires a fine-tuned geometry. In contrast, modelling the spectrum as primarily nebular provides a good fit to both the continuum and emission lines, motivating scenarios in which (a) we are observing only nebular emission or (b) the ionizing source is powering extreme nebular emission that outshines the stellar emission. …”

Integration of genetic data and genomic annotation in the analysis of genome wide association studies by Ng, E

“…An example of an identified association was that between serum apolipoprotein B levels and rs7412, which is consistent with other GWAS. To fine map these loci and assign functional annotation, I created Bayesian credible sets and checked for overlap between SNPs in these credible sets and regulatory marks in the Encyclopaedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) database. …”

The structural, mechanical, and biological variation of silica bioglasses obtained by different sintering temperatures by Sarmast Sh, M., Dayang Radiah, A. B., Hoey, D. A., Abdullah, N.

“…These findings highlight the potential of fine-tuning the sintering temperature to modulate the crystallinity of bioglasses, thereby enhancing their application scope in bone tissue engineering.…”
