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. …”

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.…”

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. …”

Responses of gas exchange and growth in Merkus pine seedlings to expected climatic changes in Thailand by Koskela, Jarkko

“…A carbon-and nitrogen-balance growth model applied structural regularities of a tree and a modification of functional balance between foliage and fine roots as growth-guiding rules. Adaptation to local climates was incorporated in the models. …”

Investigating the EM performance of building materials for mid-band 5G in urban built environment: an exploratory study by Ng, Sean Jake Peng

“…This comprehensive study encompasses various factors, including the choice of aggregate types (FAC and fine sand), different levels of Fe2O3 inclusions (2 wt% and 4 wt%), and channel frequencies within the 3300 to 3800 MHz frequency band (divided into five 100 MHz channels). …”

Statistical methods and analyses in autoimmune diseases by Inshaw, J

“…</p> <p>Finally, I performed an ImmunoChip-wide meta-analysis of 59, 974 individuals, approxi- mately twice the sample size of the previous largest T1D genetic analysis, and identified 74 chromosome regions associated with T1D, including 22 novel regions. I fine mapped each region and confirmed that prioritised variants were enriched in open chromatin re- gions in lymphoid cells. …”
