Functional MRI measured with blood oxygen dependent (BOLD) contrast in the absence of intermittent tasks reflects spontaneous activity of so-called resting state networks (RSN) of the brain. Group level independent component analysis (ICA) of BOLD data can separate the human brain cortex into 42 independent RSNs. In this study we evaluated age-rela...

Planting trees is widely considered an effective way to create a good urban wind environment, improve air quality, mitigate heat island effects, improve pedestrian wind comfort and reduce building energy consumption. To assess tree effects and find suitable tree setups in urban areas, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations can be used.
To han...

For the first time in a savanna, we analysed the joint influence of climate seasonality and plant cover type on the abundances and transcription levels of bacterial and archaeal nitrifiers, and nitrification enzyme activity (NEA). The dominant tree and grass species stimulated and inhibited nitrification, respectively: NEA was 4-fold higher and 5-f...

Water flows through forests in many ways, so it is difficult to understand and predict where and when it will flow. Understanding how water flows through forests is important, as it affects many of the services that forests offer to people, like lumber for houses and cleaner air. Water scientists (called hydrologists) have a way to reduce the compl...

For about twenty years, the question about the essential factors promoting the long-lasting coexistence of trees and grasses in humid savannas is at the center of several mathematical works, by the construction of deterministic and/or stochastic mathematical models. A closely related topic is coexistence of open savanna and forest patches at landsc...

Agroforestry systems (AFS) are recognized as one of the practices with high potential to store carbon in soils. In the Itasy region, AFS were introduced to improve farmers’ livelihoods by diversifying income sources and to address problems related to soil degradation. Previous studies in the region have shown the potential of AFS to store organic c...

You may not pay much attention to fungi growing on the bark of trees in your neighborhood, but there are many fungal species that scientists know have joined the “bark side.” The fungi living on bark do many interesting and surprising things. For example, bark fungi may prowl the bark in search of resources or new habitats. Fungi create tiny versio...

The recent surge in highly successful, but opaque, machine-learning models has given rise to a dire need for interpretability. This work addresses the problem of interpretability with novel definitions, methodology, and scientific investigations, ensuring that interpretations are useful by grounding them in the context of real-world problems and au...

Network interdiction problems by upgading critical edges/nodes have important applications to reduce the infectivity of the COVID-19. A network of confirmed cases can be described as a rooted tree that has a weight of infectious intensity for each edge. Upgrading edges (nodes) can reduce the infectious intensity with contacts by taking prevention m...
