the present study describes approaches for the identification of individual beech trees using maternal tissues from their seeds or fruits. four microsatellite markers were used for genetic analysis of seedlots from fagus orientalis lipsky, a highly out-crossing tree species. seeds from 11 single-tree harvests belonging to one population, (7 seeds from each), as well as non-paranchymatic materna...

Eastern forests of the US are valued both as a carbon sink and a wood resource. The amount of biomass that can be harvested sustainably from this biome for bioenergy without compromising the carbon sink is uncertain. Using past literature and previously validated models, we assessed four scenarios of biomass harvest in the eastern US: partial harvests of mixed hardwood forests, pine plantation ...

Dual Energy Harvesting Fabrics In article number 2300530, Ji-Soo Jang, Hyun-Cheol Song, and co-workers demonstrate a dual energy harvesting fabric that enables bio-physicochemical generation through the co-weaving of triboelectric generator- perspiration electric generator-based fibers. The harvests not only from human movement but also sweat to power wearable IoT devices exhibits remarkable wa...

The analysis, "Graft Purging in Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation: A Promise Not Quite Fulfilled," by Drs. Joseph Alvarnas and Stephen Forman, is very timely. The authors" conclusion is succinctly presented in their title. For about a decade late in the 20th century, the merits-or in some cases, the absolute necessity-of purging autologous bone marrow harvests prior to transplantation were...

On the basis of a data set from four research sites over course three agricultural years (2006/2007, 2012/2013, 2016/2017), this article empirically assesses relations between land tenure security and smallholder farms’ crop production in Rwanda. We show that general assumption secure improves farm level harvests, is not found for farms defined farmland index based on plausible threats as conve...

The eastern spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius) was once common throughout the midwestern and southeastern United States, with consistent annual range-wide harvests of 100 000 animals. In the 1940s, however, populations seemingly crashed and the species is currently listed by various state agencies as endangered, threatened, or ‘of concern’ across much of its range. We examined long-term harvest...
