The specific gene transcription patterns formed during development of metazoans result from the activity of the cisregulatory modules that control gene promoters. Even when these cis-regulatory modules are responsible for elementary transcription patterns, as for example in a single tissue during a short period of development, they are always composed of multiple target sites for transcription ...

For some time, ecologists have attempted to make generalizations concerning how disturbances influence natural ecosystems, especially river systems. The existing literature suggests that dams homogenize the hydrologic variability of rivers. However, this might insinuate that dams affect river systems similarly despite a large gradient in natural hydrologic character. In order to evaluate patter...

Due to the complicated terrain conditions in montane catchments, runoff formation is fast and complicated, making accurate simulation forecasting a significant hydrological challenge. In this study, spatiotemporal variable source mixed generation module (SVSMRG) was integrated with long short-term memory (LSTM) method, develop semi-distributed model (SVSMRG)-based surface flow baseflow segmenta...

Basin hydrologic response is a function of soil moisture distributional featuresAn information-based dimensionless index of hydrologic complexity is appliedThe complexity index characterizes soil moisture distributional features.

Curvature distribution within hillslopes and catchments and its effect on the hydrological response P. W. Bogaart and P. A.

The objectives of this study are to provide detailed information about green roof performances in the Mediterranean climate (retained volume, peak flow reduction, runoff delay) and to identify a suitable modelling approach for describing the associated hydrologic response. Data colleted during a 13 month monitoring campaign and a seasonal monitoring campaign (September to December 2008) at the ...

PURPOSE The long thoracic nerve (LTN) innervates the serratus anterior muscle (SA) which plays an important role in shoulder function. Evaluation of the LTN has so far been restricted to clinical assessment and partly electromyography and neurography. Progress of high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) increasingly enables visualization of small peripheral nerves and their pathologies. We therefore a...

Soils lie at the interface between the atmosphere and the subsurface and are a key component that control ecosystem services, food production, and many other processes at the Earth's surface. There is a long-established convention for identifying and mapping soils by texture. These readily available, georeferenced soil maps and databases are used widely in environmental sciences. Here, we show ...

Hydrological Processes. 2017;1–19. Abstract This study analyzes a long‐term regional compilation of water table response to climate variability based on 124 long‐term groundwater wells distributed across New England, USA, screened in a variety of geologic materials. The New England region of the USA is located in a humid‐temperature climate underlain by low‐storage‐fractured metamorphic and cry...
