Conceptualizing and measuring psychological resilience in the context of physical limitations in later life: a scoping review

Objective Psychological resilience may support adaptation to physical limitations, but definitions and measures vary. This scoping review examined how psychological resilience has been conceptualized and measured among older adults, focusing on studies addressing physical limitat...

A revision of the Nearctic species of Brachygluta Thomson, 1859 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae)

The North American species of Brachygluta Thomson, 1859 are revised, treating a total of 29 species. Six names are placed as junior synonyms: Bryaxis perpunctata Brendel, 1890 (=B. luniger LeConte, 1849), B. labyrinthea Casey, 1894 (=B. intermedia Brendel, 1866), B. loripes Casey...

Nonadditive Conformational Effects of tRNA Core Modifications

Abstract Post-transcriptional modifications are known to regulate the structure and function of tRNA molecules. Compared to modifications in the anticodon region, the mechanistic effects of modifications in the core region of tRNA remain poorly understood. Using all-atom molecula...

Improved estimation of net ecosystem CO 2 exchange over North America using LSTM-based flux upscaling (2001–2021)

Accurate estimation of regional-scale terrestrial carbon budgets is of great importance but remains challenging. With particular advantages, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network method shows potential for improving regional carbon budget upscaling estimations. Here, using LS...

Crop-fertilization interdependence in Ethiopian enset-based systems shapes soil fertility and constrains crop expansion

Most agricultural soils are degraded and limiting crop production. Improved management can increase crop yields and soil health, but trade-offs in the use of resources, such as organic amendments, need to be considered. We sampled 427 fields across agri-systems in the southwest o...

Conformational Dynamics of Phase-Separating Methacrylated Carbohydrates

Abstract Polysaccharide-based materials, particularly dextran (Dex) derivatives, have emerged as versatile platforms for biomedical and materials science applications primarily due to their tunable chemical functionality and intrinsic biocompatibility. Native Dex is a highly hydr...

IHDEA Standards Process WG Report 2026

A presentation on a draft document describing a shared framework for creating, reviewing, naming and publishing heliophysics technical documentation in IHDEA (International Heliophysics Data Environment Alliance)

Perceived biodiversity matters: Linking biodiversity and education to mental well-being

The loss of biodiversity, or species richness, is a growing global environmental concern. At the same time, biodiversity forms the foundation for critical ecosystem services and overall ecosystem health. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates the benefits of spending time in...

Accelerated lowland thermokarst development revealed by UAS photogrammetric surveys in the Stordalen mire, Abisko, Sweden

Organic matter decomposition in permafrost soils depends on factors such as soil pH, temperature, and redox conditions. Over lowland permafrost soils, these conditions are shaped by microtopography, which evolves with physical degradation, i.e., lowland thermokarst development. A...

AI-driven prediction of marine microplastics from space: a case study of the Indian Ocean

Microplastics (MPs) are considered enormous threats to the environment on a global scale, yet their monitoring in oceanic regions remains challenging due to limited sampling and complex circulation patterns. This study leverages 12 remotely sensed oceanographic variables to predi...

Ten rules to increase the usability of earth observation mission datasets

Abstract Publicly-funded Earth Observation (EO) missions present unprecedented challenges and opportunities for observing our changing planet and applying the knowledge gained to benefit society. As EO mission data continue to grow in volume and complexity, a paradigm shift in ho...

Anthropogenic nitrogen deposition restructures decomposing microbial communities, altering SOM molecular composition, but not molecular complexity or diversity

Soil organic matter (SOM) consists of diverse biochemical constituents, spanning a spectrum of chemical complexity, and the relative abundance of these substrates influences microbial metabolism and soil carbon persistence. However, mechanistic controls governing these processes...

Increasing risk of vapor pressure deficit exceeding critical thresholds for tree growth

With global warming, rising atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) has emerged as a critical driver of vegetation productivity and the terrestrial carbon sink. Yet, the thresholds beyond which VPD constrains tree growth remain poorly quantified. Using 2,953 tree-ring sites and...

Wood-Fiber Amendments Shift Soilless Substrate Microbiomes and Suppress Globisporangium ultimum Root Rot in Greenhouse-Grown Chrysanthemums

Global growth in soilless plant production systems, coupled with an increase in the soilless production of many traditional field-grown horticultural crops, has substantially increased demand for soilless substrates. This demand, as well as increasing interest in reducing industr...

Estimating the source altitude of auroral precipitation from dispersed Alfvén waves in the dayside ionosphere

Abstract. The VISIONS-2 sounding rockets performed in-situ measurements of the active dayside auroral region. Numerous broadband dispersed signatures up to keV energies are visible in the electron electrostatic analyser data, typical of Alfvénic precipitation. In order to charact...

Field-driven peptide transport across the inner mitochondrial membrane via a transient membrane pore

Cell-penetrating peptides translocate across a membrane via different mechanisms. In this work, we employ coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to study the effect of an external electric field, which mimics the transmembrane potential, on the stability of a mitochondrial...

Adapting for solitude: Stress-coping, substitution behaviors, and intentions to return in wilderness recreation

Increasing visitation to Wilderness Areas is intensifying pressure on ecological conditions and visitor experience quality, highlighting gaps in current monitoring systems that rely heavily on biophysical indicators while overlooking visitor-based psychological and experiential d...

Suicide Risk After Social Network Exposure to Suicide Attempts in Adolescents and Young Adults

Importance Exposure to suicide thoughts and behaviors within social networks has been associated with suicide risk among adolescents and young adults, but longitudinal evidence examining subsequent suicide attempts, suicidal ideation, and depressive symptoms remains limited. Most...

A compilation of global bio-optical in situ data for ocean-colour satellite applications – version four

Abstract. A global in situ dataset for validation of satellite products from the ESA Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI) is presented. This version of the compilation, with data starting in 1996, extends to 2025, which is important for the validation of recent algorit...
