Age and moisture affect the relationship between competition and tree growth by Xinyu Han, Lushuang Gao, Mingqian Liu, Yihong Zhu, Keda Cui, Xinyu Zhang, Xiuhai Zhao, Ruibo Zhang, Klaus von Gadow, Yiyu Tian, Kangchen Wang

“…Additionally, the negative impact of competition on tree crown size is more pronounced in high moisture regions, and larches experiencing crown reduction under intense competition exhibit a heightened sensitivity to water availability. Our findings provide robust evidence that competition indirectly influences tree growth by modifying their phenotypic traits. …”

Diagnostic value of selected fetal echocardiographic parameters in the prenatally suspected bicuspid aortic valve by Min Zheng, Yanping Ruan, Lin Sun, Xiaowei Liu, Jiancheng Han, Yihua He

“…The combination of “Increased supra-aortic valve velocity” and “Two commissures and a ‘fish-mouth’ opening” had the highest AUC (AUC: 0.893, 95%CI: 0.752-1.000, Sensitivity: 0.786, Specificity: 1.000). Conclusions We first found that the combination of “Increased supra-aortic valve velocity” and “Two commissures and a ‘fish-mouth’ opening” had the best diagnostic capability and could reduce the rate of misdiagnosis. …”

A Constrained-Based Optimization Method for Real-Time Kinematics Using Magneto-Inertial Signals: Application to Upper Limb Joint Angles Estimation During Prolonged Recordings by Marco Caruso, Elisa Digo, Laura Gastaldi, Stefano Pastorelli, Andrea Cereatti

“…By comparing results with stereophotogrammetric tracking outputs, the application of constraints - leveraging a priori knowledge of the workspace boundaries for joint centers - enhanced the accuracy of shoulder and elbow angle estimations and effectively mitigated the impact of sensor orientation drift over extended periods. This method ensured that joint centers trajectories remain within task-specific workspace limits, thus preventing deviations that are not compatible with the expected kinematic behavior. …”

Secretion of S100A8, S100A9, and S100A12 by Neutrophils Involves Reactive Oxygen Species and Potassium Efflux by Mélanie R. Tardif, Julie Andrea Chapeton-Montes, Alma Posvandzic, Nathalie Pagé, Caroline Gilbert, Philippe A. Tessier

“…Secretion of S100A8/A9 was dependent on the production of reactive oxygen species and required K+ exchanges through the ATP-sensitive K+ channel. Altogether, these findings suggest that S100A12 and S100A8/A9 are secreted independently either via distinct mechanisms of secretion or following the activation of different signal transduction pathways.…”
