Background: Access to sample-level metadata is important when selecting public metagenomic sequencing datasets for reuse in new biological analyses. The Standards, Precautions, and Advances in Ancient Metagenomics community (SPAAM, https://spaam-community.org) has previously published AncientMetagenomeDir, a collection of curated and standardised sample metadata tables for metagenomic and microbia

Graphical models use graphs to represent conditional independence structure in the distribution of a random vector. In stochastic processes, graphs may represent so-called local independence or conditional Granger causality. Under some regularity conditions, a local independence graph implies a set of independences using a graphical criterion known as δ-separation, or using its generalization, µ-s

INTRODUCTION: Numerous studies have characterised trajectories of asthma and allergy in children using machine learning, but with different techniques and mixed findings. The present work aimed to summarise the evidence and critically appraise the methodology.METHODS: 10 databases were searched. Screening, data extraction and quality assessment were performed in pairs. Trajectory characteristics w

Platinum-tin catalysts have been used industrially for decades, but their structural evolution under reaction conditions and the causes of their improved activity relative to platinum are still not well understood. In this study, we investigate Sn/Pt(111) and Sn/Pt(223) surface alloys during oxygen exposure and catalytic CO oxidation using grazing incidence X-ray absorption spectroscopy (GI-XAS).

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To evaluate the benefits and harms of financial incentives for improving family engagement on family members of neonates receiving hospitalized care.

Photodoped states in strongly correlated charge-Transfer insulators are characterized by d-d and d-p interactions and the resulting intertwined dynamics of charge excitations and local multiplets. Here, we use femtosecond x-ray absorption spectroscopy in combination with dynamical mean-field theory to disentangle these contributions in NiO. Upon resonant optical excitation across the charge-Transf

In additive manufacturing, the presence of residual stresses in produced parts is a well-recognized phenomenon. These residual stresses not only elevate the risk of crack formation but also impose limitations on in-service performance. Moreover, it can distort printed parts if released, or in the worst case even cause a build to fail due to collision with the powder scraper. This study introduces

Road traffic accidents cause nearly 1.3 million deaths and around 50 million injuries each year globally. Most organisations generate travel and transport, and influence thereby traffic safety. In Sweden, 47 percent of fatal accidents in road traffic are work-related, and 36 percent are linked to a procured transport service. Effective approaches to managing traffic safety in organisations have no

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play an important role in cellular signaling and have been implicated in human cancers, diabetes, and obesity. Despite shared catalytic mechanisms and transition states for the chemical steps of catalysis, catalytic rates within the PTP family vary over several orders of magnitude. These rate differences have been implied to arise from differing conformational

As part of the implementation of the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework and the Global Compact on Refugees we are witnessing the promotion of refugee responses aimed at creating an enabling environment for sustainable investments. This marks a paradigmatic shift “from funding to financing” which sees the role of financial markets becoming central to the way in which refugee responses are man

Energy-resolved fast-neutron radiography is a powerful non-destructive technique that can be used to remotely measure the quantity and distribution of elements and isotopes in a sample. This is done by comparing the energy-dependent neutron transmission of a sample with the known cross-sections of individual isotopes. The reconstruction of the composition is possible due to the unique features (e.

The construction sector needs to transition toward using bio-based building materials in order to reduce its negative environmental impact. However, it is unclear how exactly such a bio-based future will look like, with different stakeholders in different geographical contexts having different visions of the sector’s future. Based on an extensive collection of expert interviews with stakeholders f

Understanding how ecological communities assemble in relation to natural and human-induced environmental changes is critical, particularly for communities of pollinators that deliver essential ecosystem services. Despite widespread attention to interactions between functional traits and community responses to environmental changes, the importance of sensory traits has received little attention. To

The daily transition between day and night, known as the diel cycle, is characterised by significant shifts in environmental conditions and biological activity, both of which can affect crucial ecosystem functions like pollination. Despite over six decades of research into whether pollination varies between day and night, consensus remains elusive. We compiled the evidence of diel pollination from
