Endophytes asymptomatically infect virtually all plant species, yet little is known about endophyte community assembly and diversity within the woody tissues of forest trees. We utilised phylogenetic null models of alpha (ses.MNTDab and ses.MPDab) and beta diversity (ses.ßMNTDab and ses.ßMPDab) to infer the role of deterministic and stochastic ecological ...

The structure of bimodal poly-(ethylene-hexene) is presented in terms of the ethylene sequence length distribution. This distribution is determined by applying statistical modeling to molecular weight and short chain branching distributions obtained from gel permeation chromatography (GPC). We found that the ethylene sequence length distribution of bimoda ...

Plants are consumed by a variety of organisms, including herbivores and pathogens, which significantly impact plant biomass, diversity, community composition, and ecosystem functioning. While the impacts of vertebrate herbivores are well established, the effects of consumer groups such as insect ...

Coal, historically a low-cost and abundant energy resource, is emerging as a promising carbon-rich precursor for advanced nanomaterials. In this work, we introduce a reductive intercalation strategy to synthesize reduced (electron-rich) graphene quantum dots (GQDs) directly from anthracite coal. ...

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can manifest as brain lesions visible on magnetic resonance imaging, including white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMB), perivascular spaces (PVS), lacunes, and recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSI). Detection and segmentation of thes ...

Background: Narrative electronic medical records (EMR), which include textual notes created by clinicians within healthcare environments, represent a significant resource for documenting various facets of patient care. This form of text exhibits distinctive characteristics, such as the occurrence of grammatically incorrect sentences, abbreviations, freque ...

The increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries has raised concerns about resource scarcity, battery accident risks, and end-of-life battery management. All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are emerging as a promising alternative due to their higher energy density and thermal stability. However, the large-scale production of ASSBs necessitates the developmen ...

Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), a marker of subclinical cardiovascular disease, has previously shown to be associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture. However, it remains unclear whether AAC is associated with trabecular bone score (TBS), a gray-level textural measure, or w ...

Caregivers under the age of 25, or young carers, lack significant recognition and support across sectors of education, employment, and healthcare. As young carer advisors on a prior research project exploring Canadian healthcare providers' awareness of young carers in their clinical practice, we were a part of an experience-based co-design process to ...

Rhythmic music often leads to an urge to move the body in time with the music. This urge to move can be a pleasurable experience. In psychology, we define the pleasurable wanting to move to music as groove. Here, we investigate where in the body these two groove components-movement and pleasure-are felt and whether the embodied sensations depend on the mu ...
