Relationship between ecological spatial network and vegetation carbon use efficiency in the Yellow River Basin, China by Chenglong Xu, Xiang Chen, Qiang Yu, Buyanbaatar Avirmed, Jikai Zhao, Wei Liu, Weijie Sun

“…Subsequently, the interrelationship between topological metrics and vegetation CUE was analyzed, and optimization strategies were proposed based on the significance of the structure and function. The findings revealed that: (1) Vegetation CUE exhibited a spatially decreasing trend from the western to eastern regions, with spatial patterns correlated with vegetation types, temperature, and precipitation distribution; (2) The ecological spatial network demonstrated a denser configuration in the upper and middle reaches and a sparser and shorter pattern in the lower reaches, with seamless connectivity among all regions; (3) Significant correlations were observed between topological metrics and vegetation CUE, prompting the adoption of ecological construction and protection measures when functional importance is deficient, and enhancing the connectivity of ecological sources through the augmentation of ecological corridors when structural importance is lacking. …”

Assessing dynamic brain activity during verbal associative learning using MEG/fMRI co-processing by Sangeeta Nair, Jerzy P. Szaflarski, Yingying Wang, Diana Pizarro, Jeffrey F. Killen, Jane B. Allendorfer

“…Background: The abilities of individual neuroimaging methods to resolve spatial and temporal contributions of brain regions during cognitive processes are limited. Co-processing of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) may overcome some of the limitations by utilizing Multiple Sparse Priors (MSP) in a Bayesian framework that takes advantage of the temporal resolution of MEG and spatial resolution of fMRI. …”
