(2018-09-10)
Waterborne diseases, often arising from freshwater pollution, are a leading cause of mortality in developing countries. However, data limitations inhibit our understanding of the extent of damage arising from freshwater ...
Wetland management strategies lead to tradeoffs in ecological structure and function
(2018-02-06)
Anthropogenic legacy effects often occur as a consequence of land use change or land management and can leave behind long-lasting changes to ecosystem structure and function. This legacy is described as a memory in the ...

The type of metric and weighting method used in meta-analysis can create bias and alter coverage of confidence intervals when the estimated effect size and its weight are correlated. Here, we investigate
bias associated ...
Baryon spectra and antiparticle-to-particle ratios from the improved AMPT model
(2018-02-02)
The current version of a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model with string melting can reasonably describe the dN/dy yields, pT spectra and anisotropic flows of pions and kaons at low pT in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and ...
Crop rotational diversity increases disease suppressive capacity of soil microbiomes
(2018-05-15)
Microbiomes can aid in the protection of hosts from infection and disease, but the mechanisms underpinning these functions in complex environmental systems remain unresolved. Soils contain microbiomes that influence plant ...
