Context: Urban green infrastructure (GI) multifunctionality is widely valued within the academic literature, and underpins calls from policy makers to enhance and expand GI resources. However, there is a gap in understanding concerning how GI connectivity and size influence GI multifunctionality outcomes.

Objectives: The objectives are to: (1) present the current status of research on urban GI multifunctionality (encompassing ecosystem services and disservices) and the GI traits of connectivity and size; (2) identify relationships between these topics within the literature; (3) provide research insights and present actionable GI planning recommendations based on the findings of the research.

Objective: To examine patient outcomes before and after cone biopsy (CB) or simple hysterectomy (SH) and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) for bladder, bowel, and sexual function, quality of life (QOL), cancer worry, reproductive concerns, and lymphedema.

Methods: We stratified women with stage IA1 (lymphovascular space invasion-positive) and IA2-IB1 (≤2 cm) cervical carcinoma by fertility preservation (CB) or none (SH) with PLND. All patients completed study questionnaires at baseline (preoperatively) and postoperatively at 4-6 weeks and 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-months, consisting of: Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy - Cervical Cancer (FACT-Cx); Female Sexual Functioning Index (FSFI), and 2 Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) items; Gynecologic Cancer Lymphedema Questionnaire (GCLQ); Impact of Events Scale (IES); and Reproductive Concerns Scale (RCS).

The inherent short lifespan of Zea mays (maize, corn) pollen hinders crop improvement and challenges the hybrid seed production required to produce food, fuel, and feed. Decades of scientific effort on maize pollen storage technology have been unable to deliver a widely accessible protocol that works for liters of pollen at a hybrid seed production scale. Here we show how suppressing the pollen cellular respiration rate through refrigeration and optimizing gas exchange within the storage environment are the critical combination of factors for maintaining pollen viability in storage.
