Incorporating food plant distributions as important predictors in the habitat suitability model of sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) in Gunung Leuser National Park, Indonesia by Salmah Widyastuti, Wanda Kuswanda, M. Hadi Saputra, Hendra Helmanto, Nunu Anugrah, U. Mamat Rahmat, Rudianto Saragih Napitu, Andrinaldi Adnan, Iskandarrudin

“…This study enhances habitat suitability models (HSM) for Sumatran orangutans by incorporating the predictive distributions for 21 key orangutan food plants, which had not been previously explored. Using machine learning algorithms—support vector machine, random forest, boosted regression trees, and maximum entropy—along with an ensemble model, seven important food plants, including Ixora insularum and Calamus manan, were identified as critical predictors of habitat suitability. …”

Small molecule modulation of protein corona for deep plasma proteome profiling by Ali Akbar Ashkarran, Hassan Gharibi, Seyed Amirhossein Sadeghi, Seyed Majed Modaresi, Qianyi Wang, Teng-Jui Lin, Ghafar Yerima, Ali Tamadon, Maryam Sayadi, Maryam Jafari, Zijin Lin, Danilo Ritz, David Kakhniashvili, Avirup Guha, Mohammad R. K. Mofrad, Liangliang Sun, Markita P. Landry, Amir Ata Saei, Morteza Mahmoudi

“…Abstract The protein corona formed on nanoparticles (NPs) has potential as a valuable diagnostic tool for improving plasma proteome coverage. Here, we show that spiking small molecules, including metabolites, lipids, vitamins, and nutrients into plasma can induce diverse protein corona patterns on otherwise identical NPs, significantly enhancing the depth of plasma proteome profiling. …”

Discrimination between sea ice and clouds over the Chukchi Sea via China’s ultraviolet–visible-infrared observations by Ziyi Suo, Yingcheng Lu, Lijian Shi, Bin Zou, Qing Wang, Ling Li, Jun Tang, Weimin Ju, Manchun Li

“…The distribution of Arctic sea ice is an important direct indicator of climate change, and spaceborne optical remote sensing represents one primary technique for sea ice monitoring due to its high spatiotemporal resolution and wide swath coverage. However, this process is often impeded by heavy cloud cover, which shares similar visual and spectral features with sea ice. …”
