Fueling the fire: predicting cogongrass (Imperata cylindrica) impacts on fire behavior across environmental and seasonal gradients

Abstract Invasive species can fundamentally alter fire regimes by modifying fuel characteristics, yet predicting their impacts on fire behavior remains challenging. Cogongrass ( Imperata cylindrica ), a highly invasive grass spreading across the southeastern US, has been associat...

C-PEAT's Global Peatland Carbon Database (v.2025)

Abstract. Field-based measurements are foundational to the study of short- and long-term peatland carbon dynamics. For decades, the scientific community has amassed hundreds of valuable empirical datasets in the form of peat core records from around the world. Those records typic...

Analysis of the Political Viewpoints of Policy Statements from Professional Nursing Organizations Using ChatGPT-5: A Cross-Sectional Study

This policy analysis utilized a large language model to identify criteria to assess for the presence or absence of political bias and to categorize bias where present in the public policy statements issued by six major nursing organizations.

Exogenous lipoid pneumonia from chronic mineral oil aspiration complicated by cavitary Mycobacterium abscessus infection

Lipoid pneumonia is a rare inflammatory lung disease that results from the accumulation of lipids within the alveoli. It is classified as either exogenous or endogenous based on the source of the lipid material. Endogenous lipoid pneumonia commonly occurs in inflammatory lung dis...

Institutional phronesis: theorizing how US primary care clinicians navigate competing incommensurate logics of efficiency, care, and market in clinical practice

In the highly privatized United States primary care environment, physicians must attend to incommensurate logics of quality care. That is, they must attempt to holistically care for patients within a system that has been described as highly commodified and bureaucratically violen...
