Gulf Stream Moisture Fluxes Impact Atmospheric Blocks Throughout the Northern Hemisphere by J. P. Mathews, A. Czaja, F. Vitart, C. Roberts

“…Exploring the broader Rossby wave pattern, we observe that diminished moisture fluxes favor eastward propagation and higher zonal wavenumbers, while air‐sea interactions promote stationary and westward‐propagating waves with zonal wavenumber 3. …”

Spatiotemporal Distribution and Clinical Characteristics of Zoonotic Tuberculosis, Spain, 2018–2022 by Álvaro Roy, Diana Gómez-Barroso, Elena Cruz-Ferro, Ana Fernández, Isabel Martínez-Pino, María del Henar Marcos, Isabel Ursúa-Díaz, Susana Miras, Nuria Echave, Evi Ounarou, Beatriz Romero, Laura Herrera-León, Zaida Herrador

“…The incidence of M. bovis infection compared with M. tuberculosis infection was higher in patients who were native-born (adjusted odds ratio [aOR) 2.32, 95% CI 1.44–3.82), HIV-negative (aOR 3.39, 95% CI 1.24–14.0), or had extrapulmonary forms of TB (aOR 2.20, 95% CI 1.46–3.28). The spatial pattern differed by M. tuberculosis complex species; we identified 3 significant clusters of M. bovis and 1 of M. caprae in bovine TB–free regions. …”

Roadside LiDAR Vehicle Detection and Tracking Using Range and Intensity Background Subtraction by Tianya Zhang, Peter J. Jin

“…Then, the dynamic mode decomposition method is applied to decompose the LiDAR data into low-rank backgrounds and sparse foregrounds based on intensity channel pattern recognition. The coarse-fine triangle algorithm (CFTA) automatically finds the dividing value to separate the moving targets from static background according to range information. …”

Dendritic targeting in the leg neuropil of Drosophila: the role of midline signalling molecules in generating a myotopic map. by David J Brierley, Eric Blanc, O Venkateswara Reddy, K Vijayraghavan, Darren W Williams

“…Within the embryonic nervous system of Drosophila motoneuron dendrites are organized topographically as a myotopic map that reflects their pattern of innervation in the muscle field. Here we reveal that this fundamental organizational principle exists in adult Drosophila, where the dendrites of leg motoneurons also generate a myotopic map. …”

Water-energy-carbon coupling relationships and barrier analysis: an empirical study based on China by Jinhua Liu, Pei Pan

“…IntroductionExploring the synergistic development of water resources, energy, and carbon dioxide (CO₂)—the WEC nexus—is essential for promoting regional sustainable development.MethodsUsing an obstacle degree model, this study identifies key barriers affecting the WEC nexus in China and predicts the future trend of its coupling coordination degree.ResultsThe findings reveal: (1) From 2008 to 2022, the integrated development level of the WEC nexus in China exhibited a fluctuating upward trend, led by the carbon system and hindered by the energy system. (2) The coupling coordination degree improved from 0.47 in 2008 to 0.53 in 2022, shifting from near imbalance to marginal coordination. Spatially, the southeast outperformed the northwest, and the overall pattern displayed inertial dependence. (3) The main obstacle factors remained relatively stable over time. …”

Territories at risk of abandonment in Italy and hypothesis of repopulation by Teresa Amodio

“…The research is framed within the framework of studies on marginality which, in most of the Italian geographical literature, link the conceptual paradigm to much specific territorial dimensions (mountain areas, inland areas, rural areas).The different approaches, however, consider depopulation as a common condition of fragility, cause, and effect of expressions of spatial marginalization. With respect to this perspective, the demographic connotation of small municipalities is analyzed in terms of consistency, distribution and structure, in order to highlight the existence of a territorial pattern of dispersion, which is not geographically dichotomous, but widely spread and consistent throughout the country.Extreme forms of depopulation have also led to cases of abandonment, recognisable in the existence of numerous ’ghost towns’, fractions of territory that are now completely uninhabited; on the other hand, it has produced a constellation of ancient villages, in decay and at risk of abandonment, with respect to which, however, some repopulation hypotheses are beginning to be launched.Actions aimed at recovering and enhancing with the purpose of a new residentiality can be traced back to cases that escape an exhaustive recognition as well as to a superordinate, top-down planning, at a national level, but are entrusted to the action of local and regional actors even if the issue of repopulation of ancient villages is currently at the center of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, testifying to the relevance of the theme.With respect to this scenario, revitalization hypotheses by local communities seem to be more effective, by regaining awareness of their own and non-reproducible territorial values and following an action in favour of a ’consciousness of place’ in relation to contemporaneity.…”
