PCR-based amplification of a cox1 mini-DNA barcode gene from feces: A non-invasive molecular technique to identify environmental DNA samples of maritime shrew (Sorex maritimensis)

This paper develops a PCR-based method to amplify a cox1 gene fragment from shrew feces to identify Maritime Shrews in non-invasive samples.

Hemopexin Reverses Activation of Lung eIF2a and Decreases Mitochondrial Injury in Chlorine Exposed Mice

This study shows that hemopexin reduces acute lung injury and mitochondrial damage in chlorine-exposed mice by reversing eIF2α activation and mtDNA lesions.

ALT in Pediatric High-Grade Gliomas Can Occur without ATRX Mutation and is Enriched in Patients with Pathogenic Germline MMR Variants

This paper identifies ALT in pediatric high-grade gliomas without ATRX mutations and links it to germline MMR variants.

Aeration Strategy at Birth Does Not Impact Carotid Blood Flow and Oxygen Delivery in Preterm Lambs

This study examines the effect of different ventilation strategies on cerebral haemodynamics and oxygenation in preterm lambs, finding no significant impact on carotid blood flow, oxygen content, or delivery.

Continental-scale hyperspectral tree species classification in the United States National Ecological Observatory Network

The paper develops a continental-scale tree species classifier using NEON data, showing better accuracy than site-specific models and highlighting challenges in species classification across diverse ecosystems.

Data science competition for cross-site delineation and classification of individual trees from airborne remote sensing data

This paper runs a data science competition to improve methods for delineating and classifying individual trees from remote sensing data across multiple sites.

A benchmark dataset for individual tree crown delineation in co-registered airborne RGB, LiDAR and hyperspectral imagery from the National Ecological Observation Network

The paper introduces a benchmark dataset for evaluating individual tree crown delineation algorithms using co-registered remote sensing data and provides an R package for standardized evaluation.

In Situ Processing and Efficient Environmental Detection (iSPEED) of pests and pathogens of trees using point-of-use real-time pcr

The paper develops a field-friendly DNA testing method for detecting tree pests and pathogens using real-time PCR, demonstrating its effectiveness and stability in environmental conditions.
