Baseline levels of microplastics in agricultural soils obscure the effects of additional microplastics from recycled fertilizers by Collin J. Weber, Dominika Kundel, Andreas Fliessbach, Else K. Bünemann, Moritz Bigalke

“…Whilst it was observed from the fluxes that digestate can be a substantial source of microplastics to soils, the comparatively short time of application and the high background at our investigated sites leads to a obscured effect where digestate inputs serve a limited function.…”

Multiwavelength Constraints on the Local Black Hole Occupation Fraction by Colin J. Burke, Priyamvada Natarajan, Vivienne F. Baldassare, Marla Geha

“…We also constrain the extremely low-luminosity end ( L _bol ≲ 10 ^40 erg s ^−1 ) of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) luminosity functions at z = 0. Our AGN luminosity functions are broadly consistent with an extrapolation of the shallow slope of the AGN luminosity functions from previous work.…”

pytom-match-pick: A tophat-transform constraint for automated classification in template matching by Marten L. Chaillet, Sander Roet, Remco C. Veltkamp, Friedrich Förster

“…However, TM faces challenges of weak signal of the macromolecules and interfering features with a high signal-to-noise ratio, which are often addressed by time-consuming, subjective manual curation of results. To improve the detection performance we introduce pytom-match-pick, a GPU-accelerated, open-source command line interface for enhanced TM in cryo-ET. …”
