Small-scale land use effects on plant communities in Mediterranean urban ecosystems by Vincenzo Baldi, Alessandro Bellino, Daniela Baldantoni

“…The main drivers of biodiversity appear to be a combination of anthropogenic pressures (e.g. trampling/soil sealing) and the presence/absence of canopy shading, determining higher abundances of therophytes (especially Asteraceae and Poaceae) in open and trampled spaces and a proportional increase in hemichryptophytes under canopies. …”

Cardiac diffusion-weighted and tensor imaging: A consensus statement from the special interest group of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance by Erica Dall’Armellina, Daniel B. Ennis, Leon Axel, Pierre Croisille, Pedro F. Ferreira, Alexander Gotschy, David Lohr, Kevin Moulin, Christopher T. Nguyen, Sonja Nielles-Vallespin, William Romero, Andrew D. Scott, Christian Stoeck, Irvin Teh, Elizabeth M. Tunnicliffe, Magalie Viallon, Victoria Wang, Alistair A. Young, Jürgen E. Schneider, David E. Sosnovik

“…Free-contrast DWI is uniquely sensitized to the presence and displacement of water molecules within the myocardial tissue, including the intracellular, extracellular, and intravascular spaces. CMR can determine changes in microstructure by quantifying: a) mean diffusivity (MD)—measuring the magnitude of diffusion; b) fractional anisotropy (FA)—specifying the directionality of diffusion; c) helix angle (HA) and transverse angle (TA)—indicating the orientation of the cardiomyocytes; d) absolute sheetlet angle (E2A) and E2A mobility—measuring the alignment and systolic-diastolic mobility of the sheetlets, respectively.This document provides recommendations for both clinical and research cDWI and cDTI, based on published evidence when available and expert consensus when not. …”
