Demographic responses of hybridizing cinquefoils to changing climate in the Colorado Rocky Mountains by Kelly A. Carscadden, Daniel F. Doak, Meagan F. Oldfather, Nancy C. Emery

“…Our findings demonstrate that hybrids in this system are neither intrinsically unfit nor universally more vigorous than parents, suggesting that the demographic consequences of hybridization are context‐dependent. Our results also imply that shifts to warmer and drier conditions could have particularly negative repercussions for P. pulcherrima, which is currently the most abundant taxon in the study area, possibly as a legacy of more favorable historical climates. …”

Geographical accessibility of emergency neonatal care services in Ethiopia: analysis using the 2016 Ethiopian Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care Survey by Andrew Hayen, Getiye Dejenu Kibret, Daniel Demant

“…Addis Ababa and the Hareri regional state had full access (100% coverage) to EmNeC services within 2 hours travel time, while the Afar (15.3%) and Somali (16.3%) regional states had the lowest access.Conclusions The physical access to EmNeC services in Ethiopia is well below the universal health coverage expectations stated by the United Nations. Increasing the availability of EmNeC to health facilities where routine delivery services currently are taking place would significantly increase physical access. …”

iPSC models of mitochondrial diseases by Sonja Heiduschka, Alessandro Prigione

“…Consequently, most mitochondrial diseases are currently untreatable. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) represent a promising approach for developing human model systems and assessing therapeutic avenues in a patient- and tissue-specific context. iPSCs are being increasingly used to investigate mitochondrial diseases, either for dissecting mutation-specific defects within two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) progenies or for unveiling the impact of potential treatment options. …”

Two-Hour Sea Level Oscillations in Halifax Harbour by Dan Kelley, Clark Richards, Ruby Yee, Alex Hay, Knut Klingbeil, Phillip MacAulay, Ruth Musgrave

“…We explore the nature of the oscillations as a first step towards the improvement of prediction schemes for sea level and currents in the region. This involves an analysis of the oscillations in the context of seiche and Helmholtz resonance theories and the use of a 2D numerical model to handle realistic bathymetric conditions and other complications that the simpler theories cannot address. …”
