Cellular calcium fluorescence imaging utilized to study cellular behaviors typically results in large datasets and a profound need for standardized and accurate analysis methods. Here, we describe open-source software (4SM) to overcome these limitations using an automated machine learning pipeline for subcellular calcium signal segmentation of spatiotemporal maps. The primary use of 4SM is to analyze spatiotemporal maps of calcium activities within cells or across multiple cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Kamran et al. (2022)..

Effects of urban sprawl due to migration on spatiotemporal land use-land cover change: a case study of Bartın in Türkiye.

Sci Rep

Department of Forest Engineering, Faculty of Forestry, Kastamonu University, Kastamonu, Türkiye, Turkey.

Rapid urban growth is a subject of worldwide interest due to environmental problems. Population growth, especially migration from rural to urban areas, leads to land use and land cover (LULCC) changes in urban centres. Therefore, LULCC and urban growth analyses are among the studies that will help decision-makers achieve better sustainable management and planning.

Estimating spatiotemporal maps of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is important for understanding climate change and developing mitigation strategies. However, current methods face challenges, including the coarse resolution of numerical models, and gaps in satellite data, making it essential to improve the spatiotemporal estimation of GHGs. This study aims to develop an advanced technique to produce high-fidelity (1 km) maps of CO and CH over the Arabian Peninsula, a highly vulnerable region to climate change.

High-resolution dissection of human cell type-specific enhancers in cis and trans activities.

The spatiotemporal-specific gene expression is regulated by cell type-specific regulatory elements. Here we selected the H3K4me1-associated DNA sequences as candidate enhancers in two different human cell lines and performed ChIP-STARR-seq to quantify the cell-type-specific enhancer activities with high-resolution. We investigated how the activity landscape of enhancers would change when transferred from native cells (cis activity) to another cell lines (trans activity).

Knowledge of spatial distribution patterns of biodiversity is key to evaluate and ensure ocean integrity and resilience. Especially for the deep ocean, where in situ monitoring requires sophisticated instruments and considerable financial investments, modeling approaches are crucial to move from scattered data points to predictive continuous maps. Those modeling approaches are commonly run on the macrobial level, but spatio-temporal predictions of host-associated microbiomes are not being targeted.

Objective: To compare the spatio-temporal distribution of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) cases with mucosal leishmaniasis (ML) cases in the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) between 2001 and 2011.

Method: The incidence rates (IR) of CL and ML were calculated for the cases notified between 2001-2011 in the Information System of Notifiable Diseases for Rio de Janeiro (RJ, and for the municipalities of Rio de Janeiro and Angra dos Reis, with georeferencing and construction of thematic maps. A negative binomial regression model was used to assess the temporal dependency between CL and ML.
