A spatial matrix factorization method to characterize ecological assemblages as a mixture of unobserved sources: An application to fish eDNA surveys by Letizia Lamperti, Olivier François, David Mouillot, Laëtitia Mathon, Théophile Sanchez, Camille Albouy, Loïc Pellissier, Stéphanie Manel

“…We present a spatial matrix factorization method that identifies optimal eDNA sample assemblages—called pools—assuming that taxonomic unit composition is based on a fixed number of unknown sources. These sources, in turn, represent taxonomic units sharing similar habitat properties or characteristics. …”

Utilizing Photothermal Effect Enhances Photocatalytic Water Splitting Coupled with Selective Benzyl Alcohol Oxidation over Schottky Junctions by Bojing Sun, Mengjia Ye, Yachao Xu, Ying Jiang, Dongfang Hou, Xiu‐qing Qiao, Meidi Wang, Yunchen Du, Dong‐Sheng Li

“…Herein, WC quantum dots decorated defective ZnIn2S4 nanosheets (DZIS/WCQDs) dual‐functional photocatalysts are fabricated. Its unique Schottky junctions and photothermal effect significantly promote the separation and transport efficiency of photogenerated carriers, as well as achieving synergistic enhancement of photocatalytic water splitting coupled with selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol (BA). …”

Metagenomic and phylogenetic analyses reveal gene-level selection constrained by bacterial phylogeny, surrounding oxalate metabolism in the gut microbiota by Sromona D. Mukherjee, Mangesh Suryavanshi, John Knight, Dirk Lange, Aaron W. Miller

“…The frc gene was primarily allocated to the Pseudomonodota phylum, particularly the Bradyrhizobium genus, which is a species capable of utilizing oxalate as a sole carbon and energy source. Collectively evidence provides strong support that, for oxalate metabolism, evolutionary selection occurs at the gene level, through horizontal gene transfer, rather than at the species level.IMPORTANCEA critical function of the gut microbiota is to neutralize dietary toxins, such as oxalate, which is highly prevalent in plant-based foods and is not degraded by host enzymes. …”

A Contrast-Enhanced Approach for Aerial Moving Target Detection Based on Distributed Satellites by Yu Li, Hansheng Su, Jinming Chen, Weiwei Wang, Yingbin Wang, Chongdi Duan, Anhong Chen

“…This method compensates for the range difference rather than the target range. In the detection period, we develop two weighting functions, i.e., the Doppler frequency rate (DFR) variance function and smooth spatial filtering function, to extract prominent areas and make efficient detection, respectively. …”
