Multispectral imaging provides valuable information on tissue composition such as hemoglobin oxygen saturation. However, the real-time application of this technique in interventional medicine can be challenging due to the long acquisition times needed for large amounts ...

Denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) both require low oxygen and high organic carbon conditions common in wetland ecosystems. Denitrification permanently removes nitrogen from the ecosystem as a gas while DNRA recycles nitrogen within t...

In contrast to chronological aging, biological aging or metabolic aging is a relative age of cells and tissues and the damage they’ve accumulated over years. Comparison of one’s basal metabolic rate (BMR) to the average BMR of one’s chronological age group gives the Met...

Ensuring food security in developing countries is highly challenging due to low productivity of the agriculture sector, degradation of natural resources, high post farming losses, less or no value addition, and high population growth. Researchers are striving to adopt n...

A rapid scanning microscopy method for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) like images is sought after for interoperative diagnosis of solid tumor margins. The rapid observation and diagnosis of histological samples can greatly lower surgical risk and improve patient outcomes f...

One-third of all Neotropical forests are secondary forests that regrow naturally after agricultural use through secondary succession. We need to understand better how and why succession varies across environmental gradients and broad geographic scales. Here, we analyze ...

Farmers must juggle a myriad of decisions for their farms to be economically and environmentally sustainable. Doing this over successive growing seasons requires keeping pest populations below thresholds to avoid significant yield loss (1). Control programs to prevent t...

Introduction: Parents can act as important agents of change and support for healthy childhood growth and development. Studies have found that parents may not be able to accurately perceive their child’s weight status. The purpose of this study was to measure parental pe...

Agricultural expansion into subtropical and tropical forests causes major environmental damage, but its wider social impacts often remain hidden. Forest-dependent smallholders are particularly strongly impacted, as they crucially rely on forest resources, are typically ...

Researchers in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) have long developed technologies for older adults. Recently, researchers are engaging in critical reflections of these approaches. IoT for aging in place is one area around which these conflicting discourses have converged...
