Resonance-Driven Discrete Growth and Chemical Reactivity of Optically Levitated Droplets by Kaiqi Zhang, Grégory David, Yue Zhao, Hua-Yun Xiao, Ruth Signorell, Chenxi Li

“…By combining Mie theory-based analysis of the stimulated Raman scattering and droplet thermodynamics, we develop an approach to retrieve the key properties (e.g., temperature, pH, and molality) of thermally locked droplets and demonstrate that chemistry-driven thermal locking results in a signature particle growth pattern. Comparison of sulfate formation rates in locked versus unlocked droplets further reveals that thermal locking can accelerate chemical reactions or even change the dominant mechanism by promoting photoinduced reaction pathways. …”

Regional Climate Drives Spatial Variation in Species Richness in the Most Diverse Family of Neotropical Snakes (Colubroidea: Dipsadidae) by Juan P. Ramírez, Julián A. Velasco, Tod W. Reeder

“…Under these hypotheses, climate can determine the richness of regions in two main ways: (1) directly, by determining their carrying capacity, or (2) indirectly, through its effects on either (a) lineage diversification (i.e., the rates of speciation and/or extinction), or (b) the duration over which regions have been accumulating species. …”

Evolving Frameworks for the Foundation and Practice of Electronic Fetal Monitoring by Mark I. Evans, David W. Britt, Shara M. Evans, Lawrence D. Devoe, Yang Pan

“…Part of EFM's poor performance with respect to these outcomes arises from a fundamental misunderstanding of the differences between screening and diagnostic tests, subjective classifications of fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns that lead to large inter-observer variability in its interpretation, failure to appreciate early stages of fetal compromise, and poor statistical modeling for its use as a screening test. …”
