Abstract

This work aims at constraining the size, shape, and geometric albedo of the dwarf planet candidate 2002 MS4 through the analysis of nine stellar occultation events. Using multichord detection, we also studied the object's topography by analyzing the obtained limb and the residuals between observed chords and the best-fitted ellipse. We predicted and organized the observational campaigns of nine stellar occultations by 2002 MS4 between 2019 and 2022, resulting in two single-chord events, four double-chord detections, and three events with three to up to sixty-one positive chords. Using 13 selected chords from the 8 August 2020 event, we determined the global elliptical limb of 2002 MS4. The best-fitted ellipse, combined with the object's rotational information from the literature, constrains the object's size, shape, and albedo. Additionally, we developed a new method to characterize topography features on the object's limb. The global limb has a semi-major axis of 412 $\pm$ 10 km, a semi-minor axis of 385 $\pm$ 17 km, and the position angle of the minor axis is 121 $^\circ$ $\pm$ 16$^\circ$. From this instantaneous limb, we obtained 2002 MS4's geometric albedo and the projected area-equivalent diameter. Significant deviations from the fitted ellipse in the northernmost limb are detected from multiple sites highlighting three distinct topographic features: one 11 km depth depression followed by a 25$^{+4}_{-5}$ km height elevation next to a crater-like depression with an extension of 322 $\pm$ 39 km and 45.1 $\pm$ 1.5 km deep. Our results present an object that is $\approx$138 km smaller in diameter than derived from thermal data, possibly indicating the presence of a so-far unknown satellite. However, within the error bars, the geometric albedo in the V-band agrees with the results published in the literature, even with the radiometric-derived albedo.

Abstract

Improving patient care and advancing scientific discovery requires responsible sharing of research data, healthcare records, biosamples, and biomedical resources that must also respect applicable use conditions. Defining a standard to structure and manage these use conditions is a complex and challenging task. This is exemplified by a near unlimited range of asset types, a high variability of applicable conditions, and differing applications at the individual or collective level. Furthermore, the specifics and granularity required are likely to vary depending on the ultimate contexts of use. All these factors confound alignment of institutional missions, funding objectives, regulatory and technical requirements to facilitate effective sharing. The presented work highlights the complexity and diversity of the problem, reviews the current state of the art, and emphasises the need for a flexible and adaptable approach. We propose Digital Use Conditions (DUC) as a framework that addresses these needs by leveraging existing standards, striking a balance between expressiveness versus ambiguity, and considering the breadth of applicable information with their context of use.

Abstract

Virgin cork is a little-known, sustainable and relatively scarce raw material. However, its global output is expected to increase substantially as recent cork oak plantations are stripped for the first time. The work described here aimed to examine the factors underlying the mechanical properties of granulated cork, most particularly the type of cork (virgin or reproduction), and to develop a technique to deliver fast and accurate assessments of the effects of said factors. A batch of virgin cork was boiled, dried, ground and graded following standard granule classification procedures according to size and density. The resulting granulates were then compared with equivalent commercial-grade reproduction cork granulates. Physical variables (tapped density and moisture content) were measured and elastic recovery and Young’s modulus were used as proxies for mechanical properties. Image analysis was used to study the size, shape and colour of the cork particles. ANOVA results show significant effects of particle size, density class, type of cork and first and second order interactions between most variables. Density class clearly reached the highest level of significance, whereas the type of cork was less critical. A very strong correlation was found between granulates’ elastic recovery and their tapped density (R2 = 0.98; RMSE < 1%). Likewise, greyscale imaging revealed a good adjustment between tapped density and grey level (R2 = 0.84; RMSE = 24 g·l−1). The primary conclusion was that the differences between virgin and standard cork granulates are small and should have no effect on less demanding applications. Image analysis is likely to prove useful in further, more in-depth studies.

Abstract

The forest-based sector plays a significant role in supporting Europe on its pathway towards a more integrated and bio-based circular economy. Beyond the supply of timber, forest ecosystems offer a wide range of products and services beneficial to human wellbeing. Non-wood forest products (NWFPs) play an integral role in provisioning forest ecosystem services and constitute a huge portfolio of species from various taxonomic kingdoms. As diverse as the resources themselves is the list of end-products that may be derived from raw non-wood materials. Multiple value-chains of NWFPs provide benefits to actors across all stages of the supply chain. Forest management has not yet directed full attention towards NWFPs, since timber production remains the main management objective, although multi-purpose management is recognised as a key principle of the sector’s sustainability paradigm. Lack of knowledge of the socio-economic relevance of NWFPs for European societies and diverse property rights frameworks increase the complexity in forest-based decision making additionally. In this study, the future potential of 38 NWFPs for diversifying the forest bioeconomy is investigated by means of multi-criteria analysis, including stakeholder interaction and expert involvement. The results for six case studies in different biogeographical zones in Europe indicate the latent opportunities NWFPs provide to forest owners who are willing to focus their management on the joint production of wood and non-wood resources as well as their value networks. This study intends to unravel perspectives for forest owners in particular, as they often represent principal decision makers in forest ecosystem management, act as main suppliers of NWFP raw materials, and thus can be understood as key stakeholders in a forest bioeconomy. Even though regional perspectives differ, due to varying socio-economic and ecological environments, there is huge potential to strengthen the economic viability of rural ar

Abstract

Good knowledge of the factors that influence cork quality and the health of forests is essential when making decisions regarding the management of productive cork oak forests. The quality of cork planks depends on: plank thickness, plank porosity and the presence of anomalies. So far, no studies have evaluated cork quality based on cork anomalies, partly due to the difficulty of obtaining adequate data. In 1985, it was developed the first Cork Quality Field Assessment Plan (CQFAP) to provide information about the quality of harvested cork by collecting data of very high quality. This work analyzes the anomalies present in 2049 cork sampling units collected from ten stands under the CQFAP for the period 1986–2012 in three consecutive cork stripping cycles. Data on diseases, pests and stripping damages are also analyzed in the 654 trees where cork sampling units were collected in the third stripping cycle. Additionally, mean monthly temperature and precipitation values for the 35 years covering the three stripping periods were calculated. A progressive deterioration of cork quality was observed in the sampled cork oak stands. It was found a positive relationship between cork thickness and temperature indicating that the cork growing period could be extended when temperatures are moderate. Sampled cork oaks were more affected by Cerambycidae attacks and Coraebus undatus indicating their prevalent nature. The presence of Coraebus undatus were higher in stands with good health status. The studied diseases were Biscogniauxia mediterranea, Phytophthora sp. and fungi of the family Botryosphaeriaceae, finding a not previously reported correlation between the presence of Crematogaster scutellaris and the three studied diseases. Stripping damages increase with smaller cork thickness but climate is not a decisive factor for a proper stripping. Although having room for improvement, the CQFAP is proving to be an effective tool for assessing the quality of cork, the health status

Abstract

Key message: Abies alba Mill.–Pinus uncinata Ramond. ecotone dynamics are examined along both altitudinal and protection level gradients by combining field inventories and Landsat data. An upward expansion of A. alba to the subalpine belt is observed in the last decades as a result of stand maturation after logging cessation. Context: High-mountain forests constitute sensitive locations to monitor the impacts of global change on tree-species composition and ecotone dynamics. In this study, we focus on the Spanish Pyrenees where silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) coexists with mountain pine (Pinus uncinata Ramond.) forming montane-subalpine ecotones. Aims: The main goal of this study is to assess the spatiotemporal dynamics of the silver fir–mountain pine ecotone and its underlying driving factors. Methods: We reconstructed the spatial distribution and dynamics of the species by combining remote sensing imagery and field plot data from 1989 to 2015, employing support vector machine techniques for image classification. Using variance analysis and mixed effects models, we then analyzed the evolution of basal area and replacement index, a measure of relative change in species composition, over time and altitude range. Additionally, we explored their relationship with site factors and protection level (National Park vs. protection buffer zone). Results: Silver fir has expanded its distribution in both the National Park and the protection buffer zone, whereas mountain pine has remained stable. Both species exhibit increased basal area associated with stand maturation and a higher level of protection. The replacement index indicates a rise in silver fir in the understory on North-facing slopes, attributed to stand densification. These findings are particularly noticeable in the area with the highest level of protection. Conclusion: The cessation of traditional land uses has led to ongoing stand densification, promoting succession and favoring the increased abundance of silver f

Abstract

On 2023 December 12, the star α Orionis will be occulted by asteroid (319) Leona. This represents an extraordinary and unique opportunity to analyse the brightness distribution of Betelgeuse's photosphere with extreme angular resolution by studying light curves from different points on Earth and at different wavelengths. Here we present observations of another occultation by asteroid Leona, on 2023 September 13, whose goal was to determine Leona's projected shape and size in preparation for the December 12th event and its interpretation. The occultation campaign was highly successful with 25 positive detections from 17 different sites and a near miss. The effective diameter in projected area derived from the positive detections was 66 ± 2 km using an elliptical fit to the instantaneous limb. The body is highly elongated, with dimensions of 79.6 ± 2.2 km × 54.8 ± 1.3 km in its long and short axis, respectively, at occultation time. This result, in combination with dense time series photometry of Leona that we recently obtained, together with archival sparse photometry, allowed us to predict the angular size of the asteroid for the Betelgeuse event and to simulate the expected brightness change. Also, an accurate position coming from the occultation is provided, to improve the orbit of Leona. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Forest disturbances such as drought, fire, and logging affect the forest carbon dynamics and the terrestrial carbon sink. Forest mortality after disturbances creates uncertainties that need to be accounted for to understand forest dynamics and their associated C-sink. We combined data from permanent resampling plots and biomass oriented dendroecological plots to estimate time series of annual woody biomass growth (ABI) in several forests. ABI time series were used to benchmark a vegetation model to analyze dynamics in forest productivity and carbon allocation forced by environmental variability. The model implements source and sink limitations explicitly by dynamically constraining carbon allocation of assimilated photosynthates as a function of temperature and moisture. Bias in tree-ring reconstructed ABI increased back in time from data collection and with increasing disturbance intensity. ABI bias ranged from zero, in open stands without recorded mortality, to over 100% in stands with major disturbances such as thinning or snowstorms. Stand leaf area was still lower than in control plots decades after heavy thinning. Disturbances, species life-history strategy and climatic variability affected carbon-partitioning patterns in trees. Resprouting broadleaves reached maximum biomass growth at earlier ages than nonresprouting conifers. Environmental variability and leaf area explained much variability in woody biomass allocation. Effects of stand competition on C-allocation were mediated by changes in stand leaf area except after major disturbances. Divergence between tree-ring estimated and simulated ABI were caused by unaccounted changes in allocation or misrepresentation of some functional process independently of the model calibration approach. Higher disturbance intensity produced greater modifications of the C-allocation pattern, increasing error in reconstructed biomass dynamics. Legacy effects from disturbances decreased model performance and reduce the potent

Abstract

Context. The physical characterization of trans-Neptunian objects is essential for improving our understanding of the formation and evolution of our Solar System. Stellar occultation is a ground-based technique that can be successfully used to determine some of the TNOs’ fundamental physical properties with high precision, such as size and shape. Aims. This work is aimed at constraining the size, shape, and geometric albedo of the dwarf planet candidate (307261) 2002 MS4 through the analysis of nine stellar occultation events. Using multichord detection, we also study the object’s topography by analyzing the obtained limb and residuals between the observed chords and the best-fit ellipse. Metods. We predicted and organized the observational campaigns of nine stellar occultations by 2002 MS4 between 2019 and 2022, resulting in two single-chord events, four double-chord detections, and three events with between 3 and 61 positive chords. We derived the occultation light curves using differential aperture photometry, from which the star ingress and egress instants were calculated. Using 13 selected chords from the 8 August 2020 event, we determined the global elliptical limb of 2002 MS4. The best-fit ellipse, combined with the object’s rotational information from the literature, sets constraints on the object’s size, shape, and albedo. Additionally, we developed a new method to characterize the topography features on the object’s limb. Results. The global limb has a semi-major axis of a′ = 412 ± 10 km, a semi-minor axis of b′= 385 ± 17 km, and the position angle of the minor axis is 121° ± 16°. From this instantaneous limb, we obtained 2002 MS4’s geometric albedo of pV = 0.1 ± 0.025, using HV = 3.63 ± 0.05 mag and a projected area-equivalent diameter of 796 ± 24 km. Significant deviations from the fitted ellipse in the northernmost limb were detected from multiple sites, highlighting three distinct topographic features: one 11 km depth depression, followed by a 25−5+4 k

Abstract

This dataset is a valuable component of the article titled "Monitoring Montane-Subalpine Forest Ecotone in the Pyrenees: Integrating Sequential Forest Inventories and Landsat Imagery." The dataset provides comprehensive information necessary for implementing the analysis and models described. These analyses encompass studying the variations in Abies alba Mill. and Pinus uncinata Ramond. basal area and Replacement Index over three reference years (1991, 2002, and 2015). Additionally, the study applies linear mixed-effects models, considering altitude, aspect, total basal area, year, and protection level (National Park vs. protection buffer zone) as fixed effects, and plot as a random effect. By utilizing the reflectance values from the Landsat composites of 1991, 2002, and 2015, a Support Vector Machine binary classifier can be trained using presence/absence indicators for A. alba and P. uncinata, enabling the prediction of species’ distribution throughout the entire study area. All methods are thoroughly described in the manuscript.

Abstract

18 Pág., Good knowledge of the factors that influence cork quality and the health of forests is essential when making decisions regarding the management of productive cork oak forests. The quality of cork planks depends on: plank thickness, plank porosity and the presence of anomalies. So far, no studies have evaluated cork quality based on cork anomalies, partly due to the difficulty of obtaining adequate data. In 1985, it was developed the first Cork Quality Field Assessment Plan (CQFAP) to provide information about the quality of harvested cork by collecting data of very high quality. This work analyzes the anomalies present in 2049 cork sampling units collected from ten stands under the CQFAP for the period 1986–2012 in three consecutive cork stripping cycles. Data on diseases, pests and stripping damages are also analyzed in the 654 trees where cork sampling units were collected in the third stripping cycle. Additionally, mean monthly temperature and precipitation values for the 35 years covering the three stripping periods were calculated. A progressive deterioration of cork quality was observed in the sampled cork oak stands. It was found a positive relationship between cork thickness and temperature indicating that the cork growing period could be extended when temperatures are moderate. Sampled cork oaks were more affected by Cerambycidae attacks and Coraebus undatus indicating their prevalent nature. The presence of Coraebus undatus were higher in stands with good health status. The studied diseases were Biscogniauxia mediterranea, Phytophthora sp. and fungi of the family Botryosphaeriaceae, finding a not previously reported correlation between the presence of Crematogaster scutellaris and the three studied diseases. Stripping damages increase with smaller cork thickness but climate is not a decisive factor for a proper stripping. Although having room for improvement, the CQFAP is proving to be an effective tool for assessing the quality of cork, the health status of cork oak forests and the evolution of these forests over time. The information provided could be also used to identify places worthy of further studying. The main recommendation for improving the CQFAP would be to monitor the same trees in each consecutive sampling for properly monitoring cork thickness and the presence of defects to be used as a proxy for tree health. Regarding forest management, the main recommendations would be to extend the length of stripping cycles to enhance cork production, and to use the new tools and systems for cork stripping to reduce damage., This work is part of the R&D project RTI2018-094413-R-C21.

Abstract

24 Pág., The forest-based sector plays a significant role in supporting Europe on its pathway towards a more integrated and bio-based circular economy. Beyond the supply of timber, forest ecosystems offer a wide range of products and services beneficial to human wellbeing. Non-wood forest products (NWFPs) play an integral role in provisioning forest ecosystem services and constitute a huge portfolio of species from various taxonomic kingdoms. As diverse as the resources themselves is the list of end-products that may be derived from raw non-wood materials. Multiple value-chains of NWFPs provide benefits to actors across all stages of the supply chain. Forest management has not yet directed full attention towards NWFPs, since timber production remains the main management objective, although multi-purpose management is recognised as a key principle of the sector’s sustainability paradigm. Lack of knowledge of the socio-economic relevance of NWFPs for European societies and diverse property rights frameworks increase the complexity in forest-based decision making additionally. In this study, the future potential of 38 NWFPs for diversifying the forest bioeconomy is investigated by means of multi-criteria analysis, including stakeholder interaction and expert involvement. The results for six case studies in different biogeographical zones in Europe indicate the latent opportunities NWFPs provide to forest owners who are willing to focus their management on the joint production of wood and non-wood resources as well as their value networks. This study intends to unravel perspectives for forest owners in particular, as they often represent principal decision makers in forest ecosystem management, act as main suppliers of NWFP raw materials, and thus can be understood as key stakeholders in a forest bioeconomy. Even though regional perspectives differ, due to varying socio-economic and ecological environments, there is huge potential to strengthen the economic viability of rural areas. Furthermore, sustainable co-production may foster the ecological integrity of forest ecosystems across Europe. Results show that wild mushrooms constitute the most widespread opportunity to increase additional income from forest management, but the most promising NWFPs can be found in the tree product, understorey plant and animal origin categories., This study was financially supported by FP7 Project no. 311919 KBBE.2012.1.2-06 StarTree—Multipurpose trees and non-wood forest products a challenge and opportunity, and COST-Action FP1203: European non-wood forest products (NWFPs) network.

Abstract

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of meibomian gland expression (MGX) combined with home-based therapy versus home-based therapy alone for the treatment of dry eye disease (DED) caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)., Methods: A systematic review of randomized controlled studies (RCTs), reporting the effects of MGX combined with home-based therapy in 2 databases, PubMed and Web of Science, was performed according to the PRISMA statement. The search period was until August 20, 2023. According to the heterogeneity, a random or fixed effects model was performed in the meta-analysis. The standardized mean difference (SMD) was calculated to analyze dry eye symptoms (DES) score, tear film break-up time (TBUT), total corneal fluorescein staining (tCFS) and meibomian glands expressibility (MGE). All analyses were performed by RevMan Web, version 5.7. The Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to analyze the quality of the studies selected., Results: Two RCTs with a total of 99 patients were included. The studies reported that MGX combined with home-based therapy improves DES score, TBUT, tCFS and MGE compared to the home-based therapy. However, the meta-analysis indicated that MGX combined with home-based therapy only seems to be beneficial in reducing DES score (SMD -0.49; 95 % CI: -0.89 to -0.08; P = 0.02; I 2  = 0 %). In addition, although TBUT, tCFS and MGE reported a slight trend in favor of MGX combined with home-based therapy, it was non-significant., Conclusions: While MGX combined with home-based therapy seem to show some evidence of alleviating dry eye symptoms, there is insufficient evidence to conclude the effects of this treatment definitively particularly in improving dry eye signs caused by MGD, such as TBUT, tCFS and MGE. Therefore, further RCTs are needed to elucidate these results., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 British Contact Lens Association.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Müller-Weiss disease (MWD) is a rare anomaly of the tarsal scaphoid. Maceira and Rochera proposed the most commonly accepted etiopathogenic theory, in which dysplastic, mechanical, and socioeconomic environmental factors would be involved. The aim is to describe the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of patients with MWD in our setting, corroborate their association with the socioeconomic factors previously described, estimate the influence of other factors involved in the development of MWD, and describe the treatment carried out., Materials and Methods: Retrospective study of 60 patients diagnosed with MWD in 2 tertiary hospitals of Valencia (Spain) between 2010 and 2021., Results: Sixty patients were included, 21 (35.0%) men and 39 (65.0%) women. In 29 (47.5%) cases, the disease was bilateral. The mean age of onset of symptomatology was 41.9±20.3 years. During childhood, 36 (60.0%) patients suffered migratory movements, and 26 (43.3%) had dental problems. The mean age of onset was 14.6±4.5 years. Thirty-five (58.3%) cases were treated orthopedically versus 25 (41.7%) treated surgically, 11 (18.3%) by calcaneal osteotomy, and 14 (23.3%) with arthrodesis., Conclusions: As in the series of Maceira and Rochera, we found a higher prevalence of MWD among those born around the Spanish Civil War and the period of massive migratory movements that occurred in the fifth decade of the 20th century. Treatment is still not well established., (Copyright © 2023 SECOT. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

Forest disturbances such as drought, fire, and logging affect the forest carbon dynamics and the terrestrial carbon sink. Forest mortality after disturbances creates uncertainties that need to be accounted for to understand forest dynamics and their associated C-sink. We combined data from permanent resampling plots and biomass oriented dendroecological plots to estimate time series of annual woody biomass growth (ABI) in several forests. ABI time series were used to benchmark a vegetation model to analyze dynamics in forest productivity and carbon allocation forced by environmental variability. The model implements source and sink limitations explicitly by dynamically constraining carbon allocation of assimilated photosynthates as a function of temperature and moisture. Bias in tree-ring reconstructed ABI increased back in time from data collection and with increasing disturbance intensity. ABI bias ranged from zero, in open stands without recorded mortality, to over 100% in stands with major disturbances such as thinning or snowstorms. Stand leaf area was still lower than in control plots decades after heavy thinning. Disturbances, species life-history strategy and climatic variability affected carbon-partitioning patterns in trees. Resprouting broadleaves reached maximum biomass growth at earlier ages than nonresprouting conifers. Environmental variability and leaf area explained much variability in woody biomass allocation. Effects of stand competition on C-allocation were mediated by changes in stand leaf area except after major disturbances. Divergence between tree-ring estimated and simulated ABI were caused by unaccounted changes in allocation or misrepresentation of some functional process independently of the model calibration approach. Higher disturbance intensity produced greater modifications of the C-allocation pattern, increasing error in reconstructed biomass dynamics. Legacy effects from disturbances decreased model performance and reduce the potential use of ABI as a proxy to net primary productivity. Trait-based dynamics of C-allocation in response to environmental variability need to be refined in vegetation models., (© 2022 The Authors.

Abstract

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with an ominous outcome influenced by the time to hospital presentation., Objective: This study aims to identify the factors that influence an early hospital arrival after ICH and the relationship with outcome., Methods: In this multicenter registry, patients with confirmed ICH on CT scan and well-known time of symptoms onset were studied. Clinical data, arrival conditions, and prognostic scores were analyzed. Multivariate models were built to find independent predictors of < 6 h arrival (logistic regression) and in-hospital death (Cox proportional-hazards model)., Results: Among the 473 patients analyzed (51% women, median age 63 years), the median delay since onset to admission was 6.25 h (interquartile range: 2.5-24 h); 7.8% arrived in < 1 h, 26.3% in < 3 h, 45.3% in < 6 h, and 62.3% in < 12 h. The in-hospital, 30-day and 90-day case fatality rates were 28.8%, 30.0%, and 32.6%, respectively. Predictors of arrival in < 6 h were hypertension treatment (odds ratios [OR]: 1.675, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 1.030-2.724), ≥ 3 years of schooling (OR: 1.804, 95% CI: 1.055-3.084), and seizures at ICH onset (OR: 2.416, 95% CI: 1.068-5.465). Predictors of death (56.9% neurological) were systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg (hazards ratios [HR]: 1.839, 95% CI: 1.031-3.281), ICH score ≥ 3 (HR: 2.302, 95% CI: 1.300-4.074), and admission Glasgow Coma Scale < 8 (HR: 4.497, 95% CI: 2.466-8.199). Early arrival was not associated with outcome at discharge, 30 or 90 days., Conclusions: In this study, less than half of patients with ICH arrived to the hospital in < 6 h. However, early arrival was not associated with the short-term outcome in this data set.
