Model Evaluation the Effect of Size, Shape and Surface Condition of Apatite Nanocrystals on the Deviation of Ca / P ratio from stoichiometric by S.N. Danilchenko

“…By the simple model evaluation Са / Р ratio was shown to deviate from stoichiometric one because of small sizes of crystals, and peculiarities in chemical composition of their facets. Also size effect is noted to be unsufficient for explanation of wide variations of Са / Р ratio in biological apatites. …”

Connecting Soil Organic Carbon and Root Biomass with Land-Use and Vegetation in Temperate Grassland by Devan Allen McGranahan, Aaron L. Daigh, Jessica J. Veenstra, David M. Engle, James R. Miller, Diane M. Debinski

“…While common practices like grazing, fire, and tillage affect soil properties directly related to soil carbon dynamics, their magnitude and direction of change vary among ecosystems and with intensity of disturbance. We describe variability in soil organic carbon (SOC) and root biomass—sampled from 0–170 cm and 0–100 cm, respectively—in terms of soil properties, land-use history, current management, and plant community composition using linear regression and multivariate ordination. …”

Minimal mesoscale model for protein-mediated vesiculation in clathrin-dependent endocytosis. by Neeraj J Agrawal, Jonathan Nukpezah, Ravi Radhakrishnan

“…Based on the observed strong dependence of the vesicle diameter on the bending rigidity, we suggest that the variability in bending stiffness due to variations in membrane composition with cell type can explain the experimentally observed variability on the size of clathrin-coated vesicles, which typically range 50-100 nm. …”

The nasopharyngeal microbiome in COVID-19 by Sergio Candel, Sylwia D. Tyrkalska, Carmen Álvarez-Santacruz, Victoriano Mulero

“…Since the nasopharyngeal microbiota diversity and composition could potentially be used as a prognosis biomarker for COVID-19 patients, which would pave the way for strategies aiming to reduce the disease severity by modifying such microbiota, dozens of research articles have already explored the possible associations between changes in the nasopharyngeal microbiota and the severity or outcome of COVID-19 patients. …”

Modeling the Impact of Landscape Dynamics on Soil Erosion in Eastern DR Congo: Implications for Sustainable Land Management by Jean Nacishali Nteranya, Andrew Kiplagat, Elias K. Ucakuwun, Chantal Kabonyi Nzabandora

“…The results demonstrated that the soil erosion rate has increased over time from 32.08 t/ha/year in 1987 to 44.35 t/ha/year in 2020 due to the changes in landscape structure and composition. The landscape metrics, which significantly influenced the erosion dynamics with composition indices, collectively explained 60.9%, while the landscape structure metrics explained 34.89% of annual soil erosion rate variability in the best fit developed models. …”
