Environmental Conditions Modulate Warming Effects on Plant Litter Decomposition Globally.

Empirical studies worldwide show that warming has variable effects on plant litter decomposition, leaving the overall impact of climate change on decomposition uncertain. We conducted a meta-analysis of 109 experimental warming studies across seven continents, using natural and standardised plant material, to assess the overarching effect of warming on litter decomposition and identify potential moderating factors. We determined that at least 5.

Nursing students and role modeled behavior while caring for LGBTQ + people: a cross-sectional, descriptive study.

Background: While efforts to improve the educational preparedness of nurses to care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ +) people have increased, the influence of role-modeled behaviors by healthcare professionals working with nursing students and recent graduates is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to describe the role-modeled behaviors of healthcare professionals observed by nursing students and recent graduates caring for LGBTQ + patients in clinical settings.

Methods: A cross-sectional, online survey was conducted.

Lineage labeling with zebrafish Cre and CreERT2 recombinase CRISPR knock-ins.

Background: The ability to generate endogenous Cre recombinase drivers using CRISPR-Cas9 knock-in technology allows lineage tracing, cell type specific gene studies, and validation of inferred developmental trajectories from phenotypic and gene expression analyses. This report describes endogenous zebrafish Cre and CreERT2 drivers generated with GeneWeld CRISPR-Cas9 precision targeted integration.

Results: and knock-ins crossed with ubiquitous -based Switch reporters led to broad labeling in expected mesodermal and neural crest-derived lineages in cardiac, pectoral fins, pharyngeal arch, liver, intestine, and mesothelial tissues, as well as enteric neurons.

Investigating Fire-Atmosphere Interaction in a Forest Canopy Using Wavelets.

Wildland fire-atmosphere interaction generates complex turbulence patterns, organized across multiple scales, which inform fire-spread behaviour, firebrand transport, and smoke dispersion. Here, we utilize wavelet-based techniques to explore the characteristic temporal scales associated with coherent patterns in the measured temperature and the turbulent fluxes during a prescribed wind-driven (heading) surface fire beneath a forest canopy. We use temperature and velocity measurements from tower-mounted sonic anemometers at multiple heights.

Dual-factor mental health in adolescence: Comparing classification methods.

Addressing adolescent mental health difficulties often begins by first correctly identifying students who are at risk when using universal mental health screeners in the school setting. A comprehensive conceptualization of mental health may enhance school psychologists' ability to effectively understand the mental health of students they serve. The dual-factor model of mental health posits a more holistic approach to mental health by capturing subjective-wellbeing scores alongside psychopathology.
