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. …”

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.…”
