Future climate change impacts on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) phenology and yield with crop management options in Amhara Region, Ethiopia by Adem Mohammed, Estifanos Feleke

“…In Ethiopia, common bean is the main source of protein for people who do not get access to animal protein. The national average yield in Ethiopia is 1600 kg ha−1 which is far below yield at research sites (3000 kg ha−1) mainly due to drought, low soil fertility and lack of improved agronomic practices. …”

Evolutionary constrained genes associated with autism spectrum disorder across 2,054 nonhuman primate genomes by Yukiko Kikuchi, Mohammed Uddin, Joris A. Veltman, Sara Wells, Christopher Morris, Marc Woodbury-Smith

“…Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) have been extensively used for preclinical neurobiological research because of remarkable similarities to humans across biology and behaviour that cannot be captured by other experimental animals. Methods We used the macaque Genotype and Phenotype (mGAP) resource consisting of 2,054 macaque genomes to examine patterns of evolutionary constraint in known human neurodevelopmental genes. …”

Computation and Visualization of Regional-Scale Forest Disturbance and Associated Dissolved Nitrogen Export from Shenandoah National Park, Virginia by Keith N. Eshleman, Daniel A. Fiscus, Nancy M. Castro, James R. Webb, J Jr. Deviney

“…The purposes of this analysis are to (1) test the applicability of the UNERF model using quarterly streamwater nitrate data from a group of ungaged watersheds in SNP; (2) demonstrate a park-wide application of a regional UNERF model that references the geographic distributions of bedrock geology and the timing and extent of gypsy moth defoliation over the entire SNP area; and (3) visualize the temporal and spatial patterns in vegetation disturbance and annual dissolved N export through the use of computer animation software. During water year 1992, the year of peak defoliation, our modeling study suggests that park-wide export had transiently increased by 1700% from a baseline rate of about 0.1 kg/ha/year. …”
