1. Potential of undersown species identity versus diversity to manage disease in crops 

   Cappelli, Seraina Lisa; Horta, Luiz Alberto Domeignoz; Gerin, Stephanie; et al. (2024)

   Functional Ecology

   In the absence of chemical control with its negative side effects, fungal pathogens can cause large yield losses, requiring us to develop agroecosystems that are inherently disease resistant. Grassland biodiversity experiments often find plant species diversity to reduce pathogen pressure, but whether incorporating high biodiversity levels in agricultural fields have similar effects remains largely unknown. We tested if undersown plant ...

2. Two distinct charge density waves in the quasi-one-dimensional metal Sr_0.95NbO_3.37 revealed by resonant soft X-ray scattering

   The interplay of electron-electron and electron-lattice interactions plays an important role in determining exotic properties in strongly correlated electron systems. Of particular interest is quasi-one-dimensional SrNbOx metals, which are perovskite-related layered Carpy-Galy phases. Quasi-one-dimensional metals often exhibit a charge density wave (CDW) accompanied by lattice distortion; however, to date, the presence of a CDW in a ...

3. Fundamentals of Arthroscopic Surgery Training and beyond: a reinforcement learning exploration and benchmark 

   Ovinnikov, Ivan; Beuret, Ami; Cavaliere, Flavia; et al. (2024)

   INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER ASSISTED RADIOLOGY AND SURGERY

   Purpose This work presents FASTRL, a benchmark set of instrument manipulation tasks adapted to the domain of reinforcement learning and used in simulated surgical training. This benchmark enables and supports the design and training of human-centric reinforcement learning agents which assist and evaluate human trainees in surgical practice.Methods Simulation tasks from the Fundamentals of Arthroscopic Surgery Training (FAST) program are ...

4. Regionalizing the supply chain in process life cycle inventory with multiregional input-output data: An implementation for ecoinvent with EXIOBASE 

   Peng, Sidi; Pfister, Stephan (2024)

   Journal of Industrial Ecology

   Life cycle inventory (LCI) databases, such as ecoinvent, are crucial for life cycle assessment (LCA), but lack country-specific resolution in activity details and trade between regional activities in the supply chain. For example, ecoinvent only provides rest-of-world and European datasets for photovoltaic panel production, consuming the same global consumption mix of photovoltaic cells. Global or continental activities and trade limit ...

5. Investigating Microbial Biosignatures in Aeolian Environments Using Micro-X-Ray: Simulation of PIXL Instrument Analyses at Jezero Crater Onboard the Perseverance Mars 2020 Rover 

   Nachon, Marion; Ewing, Ryan C.; Tice, Michael M.; et al. (2024)

   Astrobiology

   Assessing the past habitability of Mars and searching for evidence of ancient life at Jezero crater via the Perseverance rover are the key objectives of NASA's Mars 2020 mission. Onboard the rover, PIXL (Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry) is one of the best suited instruments to search for microbial biosignatures due to its ability to characterize chemical composition of fine scale textures in geological targets using a ...
