Widespread thermophilization but weak link to climate warming in Europe’s summit plant communities

Abstract Recent changes in alpine vegetation are often attributed to climate warming, particularly community composition shifts towards more warmth-associated species, or thermophilization. Here we assess the link between thermophilization and warming across 53 European mountain...

Altered Complement and Tubular Mitochondrial Proteins Are Linked to Graft Loss in DSA+ Antibody–Mediated Rejection

Background: Antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) is the main driver of late kidney allograft loss. Anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSA) are strongly associated with AMR. However, 30-60% of DSA + patients do not develop AMR, raising the possibility of local tissue adaptations to...

Machine learning-based rapid emulation of pluvial flood inundation using hydraulically derived flow depths and high-resolution physical-geographical predictors

Abstract Pluvial flooding is becoming increasingly frequent and severe due to rapid land use/cover changes and changing rainfall patterns, creating an urgent need for fast and reliable flood inundation mapping. Although physically-based hydraulic models can provide highly accurat...

Effects of nonlocal interactions on s- and d-wave superconducting correlations in the extended Hubbard model

Abstract We investigate the influence of nonlocal interactions on superconducting correlations within the extended Hubbard model. In addition to the on-site Coulomb interaction and nearest-neighbor hopping, we include next-nearest-neighbor hopping together with several physically...
