Global scientific output is expanding exponentially, which in turn calls for a better understanding of the science of science and especially how the boundaries of scientific fields expand through processes of emergence. The present study proposes the application of embedded topic modeling techniques to ...
offering an example of convergent findings from imaging and genomics approaches. In this work, we tested our “nsaRNA proximity” hypothesis by combining microscopic information and genomics data and aimed for establishing an RNA-based approach for identifying the relative positions of the folded genome...
Identifying the boundaries of a social insect colony is vital for properly understanding its ecological function and evolution. Many species of ants are polydomous: colonies inhabit multiple, spatially separated, nests. Ascertaining which nests are parts of the same colony is an important consideration ...
We used an additional dataset of 34 wetlands of known location but without surveyed boundaries to help guide thresholding of the TPI. After a suitable level of agreement was achieved (visually assessed) between the classification and surveyed margins and known locations, we converted the TPI to ...
Local slope decreases with drainage area in Region 2, representing convergent topography until threshold A2 is achieved. The slope–area relationship in Region 3 resembles the transition section between landscape surfaces and river channels, where soil loss is active. The local slope decreases with ...
