Invariant Spatial Pattern Across Mediterranean Scrublands in the Iberian Pear (Pyrus bourgaeana) by Brayan Morera, Pedro J. Garrote, Thorsten Wiegand, Daniel Ayllón, Jose M. Fedriani

“…We used Thomas point process models to quantify the consistency in the spatial pattern and the level of spatial aggregation of this mammal‐dispersed tree among the five populations. We tested two hypotheses: (i) because the clumped defecation behavior of some dispersers can lead to local tree aggregation, and because denser groups of fruiting trees can limit seed dispersal by attracting frugivores to specific sites, we expected a consistent small‐scale aggregation pattern across all populations; and (ii) because ungulates reduce recruitment by preying on seeds and seedlings, we hypothesize that ungulate activity will show negative relationships with tree density and level of aggregation. …”

Stem/Progenitor Cell Niches Involved in Hepatic and Biliary Regeneration by Guido Carpino, Anastasia Renzi, Antonio Franchitto, Vincenzo Cardinale, Paolo Onori, Lola Reid, Domenico Alvaro, Eugenio Gaudio

“…Niches containing stem/progenitor cells are present in different anatomical locations along the human biliary tree and within liver acini. The most primitive stem/progenitors, biliary tree stem/progenitor cells (BTSCs), reside within peribiliary glands located throughout large extrahepatic and intrahepatic bile ducts. …”

Identification of Potential Type II Diabetes in a Large-Scale Chinese Population Using a Systematic Machine Learning Framework by Mingyue Xue, Yinxia Su, Chen Li, Shuxia Wang, Hua Yao

“…Combined with the risk factors selected by LR, we used a decision tree, a random forest, AdaBoost with a decision tree (AdaBoost), and an extreme gradient boosting decision tree (XGBoost) to identify individuals with T2DM, compared the performance of the four machine learning classifiers, and used the best-performing classifier to output the degree of variables’ importance scores of T2DM. …”

Acer palmatum 'Dissectum' by Edward F. Gilman

“…Be sure to clear all turf away from beneath the branches of these low growing types so the lawn mower will not damage the tree. The more upright selections make nice patio or small shade trees for residential lots, and, with pruning to remove drooping branches, provide adequate clearance for pedestrian traffic to pass close to the tree. …”
