Analysis of spatial point patterns in nuclear biology. | LitMetric

There is considerable interest in cell biology in determining whether, and to what extent, the spatial arrangement of nuclear objects affects nuclear function. A common approach to address this issue involves analyzing a collection of images produced using some form of fluorescence microscopy. We assume that these images have been successfully pre-processed and a spatial point pattern representation of the objects of interest within the nuclear boundary is available. Typically in these scenarios, the number of objects per nucleus is low, which has consequences on the ability of standard analysis procedures to demonstrate the existence of spatial preference in the pattern. There are broadly two common approaches to look for structure in these spatial point patterns. First a spatial point pattern for each image is analyzed individually, or second a simple normalization is performed and the patterns are aggregated. In this paper we demonstrate using synthetic spatial point patterns drawn from predefined point processes how difficult it is to distinguish a pattern from complete spatial randomness using these techniques and hence how easy it is to miss interesting spatial preferences in the arrangement of nuclear objects. The impact of this problem is also illustrated on data related to the configuration of PML nuclear bodies in mammalian fibroblast cells.

Agricultural non-point source pollution (ANPSP) impacts water quality in the core water source area (CWSA) of the Middle Route of the South North Water Diversion Project. Effective governance is required to manage water pollution in this area. An inventory analysis method was used in the CSWA to estimate the ANPSP loads between 2006 and 2020.

Spatiotemporal variations in land use impacts on river water quality in a mountain-to-plain transitional basin in arid region of northern China.

Land use, as an integrated representation of natural conditions and human activities, significantly impacts river water quality. Understanding the spatial and temporal variability of these influences offers valuable insights for improving water quality through the implementation of best management practices. This study examined the impact of land use on river water quality in the Dahei River Basin, a typical mountain-to-plain basin located in the arid region of northern China, which is also the last first-order tributary of Upper Yellow River.

Drought is considered a major contributor to carbon sink fluctuations in terrestrial ecosystems and is expected to lead to more frequent carbon sink-source transitions under future climate change. The drought threshold for carbon sink-source transition reflects the critical inflection point at which the carbon sequestration capacity of vegetation is affected by water deficit. However, the spatiotemporal patterns of the global drought threshold and their underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

This paper presents the results of a two-year radon risk study conducted at the Historic Silver Mine in Tarnowskie Góry. During this period, continuous measurements of radon activity concentration were carried out in three-month cycles at 30 points distributed along the tourist route. The average radon activity concentration was 1160 Bq/m for the first year of measurements and 1210 Bq/m in the second year.
