Long-term mean climate and seasonal variability drive spatial patterns of forage production fluctuation trends across California annual grasslands by Zheng Li, Leslie M Roche, Steven Ostoja, Yufang Jin

“…The RF model based solely on climate variables revealed that spatial patterns of trends in temporal fluctuations of forage production were mostly driven by long-term climatic means; specifically, drier areas with a long-term mean growing season (GS) precipitation below ∼500 mm, or warmer areas with long-term mean minimum temperatures above ∼6 °C, were more likely to exhibit significant increasing trends in forage production fluctuations. …”

Predictors for vertebral height deterioration in fractured vertebrae operated by percutaneous vertebroplasty by Benqiang Tang, Xueming Chen, Libin Cui, Yanhui Wang, Xin Yuan, Yadong Liu, Liang Liu

“…Abstract Background Vertebral height loss of fractured vertebrae treated by percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCFs) during follow-up had been reported. Mostly, vertebral height loss and its relevant terms (e.g., “recompression”, “recollapse” and “refracture”) were defined according to immediate postoperative vertebral height as the baseline in published studies. …”

Modeling the Transport and Deposition of Suspended Solids Under Conditions of Low Water and Surge Phenomena in the Don River Estuary Area by Berdnikov Sergey, Sheverdyaev Igor, Kleshchenkov Alexey, Kulygin Valeriy, Likhtanskaya Nataliya

“…At the same time, at the stage of the water level decline, they are carried out of the channel segments beyond the sea edge of the delta, and mostly remain in the floodplain areas. For low-water conditions with the observed frequency of surge events and in the absence of floods, the Don estuary area retains on average 20% of suspended solids entering with the Don River runoff.…”

Non-inferiority of sleep position therapy compared to positive airway pressure therapy with regard to daytime sleepiness in patients with mild to moderate position-dependent obstru... by Nina Timmesfeld, Anja Neumann, Frederik Valbert, Jürgen Wasem, Alexandra Spillner, Christoph Schöbel

“…At least one half of patients with mild to moderate OSA (apnoea-hypopnoea-index (AHI) 5-30/h) have positional OSA (POSA), where apnoea occurs mostly in supine sleep. These patients might benefit from sleep-position therapy (SPT) which should reduce sleeping time spent in a supine position. …”

PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ORGANIC MARKET IN UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL by Іnna Honcharuk, Roman Lohosha, Dina Tokarchuk

“…This makes it difficult to monitor this sector, which is mostly composed of farms and private households. Over time, the integration of such farms into the monitoring network will become necessary in the process of formalising the organic market, as the lack of certification limits prices and economic returns. …”

The fate of recessive deleterious or overdominant mutations near mating-type loci under partial selfing by Tezenas, Emilie, Giraud, Tatiana, Véber, Amandine, Billiard, Sylvain

“…This may contribute to explain why evolutionary strata of recombination suppression near the mating-type locus are found mostly in automictic (pseudo-homothallic) fungi. We also showed that rare events of deleterious mutation maintenance during strikingly long evolutionary times could occur, suggesting that deleterious mutations can indeed accumulate near the mating-type locus over evolutionary time scales. …”

A Case Study of -some and -able Derivatives in the OED3: Examining the Diachronic Output and Productivity of Two Competing Adjectival Suffixes by Chris A. Smith

“…On the other hand, -able has a more predictable semantic pattern, having mostly passive-oriented senses. Secondly, existing-some adjectives have a low token frequency as shown by extensive corpus searches, and this is verified in all periods, except for the 1850s where -some adjective formation increased out of a deliberate attempt to increase native suffixation. …”

“…In particular, of the 1-trillion-tonne technosphere mass, we estimate that roughly one-half is buildings and one-third transportation infrastructure, both of which we map globally at 1° resolution. Movable entities, mostly composed of vehicles, vessels, and machinery, account for less than 2 % of the total technosphere mass yet are comparable to the biomass of all animals on Earth. …”
