OptiFit: Computer-Vision-Based Smartphone Application to Measure the Foot from Images and 3D Scans

Article asserts that the foot is a vital organ, as it stabilizes the impact forces between the human skeletal system and the ground. The authors present an instep girth measurement algorithm, and they used a pixel per metric algorithm for measurement; these algorithms were accordingly integrated with the application.

How Do Perceptions of Risk Communicator Attributes Affect Emergency Response? An Examination of a Water Contamination Emergency in Boston, USA (open access)

How Do Perceptions of Risk Communicator Attributes Affect Emergency Response? An Examination of a Water Contamination Emergency in Boston, USA

This article describes how perceptions of different social stakeholders influenced whether respondents complied with the Protective Action Recommendation—PAR (i.e., drank boiled water), took alternative protective actions (i.e., drank bottled water or/and self-chlorinated water), or ignored the threat (i.e., continued to drink untreated tap water), during a water contamination emergency in Boston, USA.

A New Method for Automated Measurement of Sand Dune Migration Based on Multi-Temporal LiDAR-Derived Digital Elevation Models (open access)

A New Method for Automated Measurement of Sand Dune Migration Based on Multi-Temporal LiDAR-Derived Digital Elevation Models

This article proposes a toe line tracking (TLT) method for the automated measurement of dune migration rate and direction using multi-temporal digital elevation models (DEM) derived from light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data to overcome a major limitation of the existing method of pairs of source and target points (PSTP).

Genome-Resolved Proteomic Stable Isotope Probing of Soil Microbial Communities Using 13CO2 and 13C-Methanol (open access)

Genome-Resolved Proteomic Stable Isotope Probing of Soil Microbial Communities Using 13CO2 and 13C-Methanol

Article describes experiment where proteomic sable isotope probing (SIP) was combined with targeted metagenomic binning to reconstruct metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of the microorganisms producing labeled proteins. Carbon flows were tracked from 13CO2 to the rhizosphere communities of Zea mays, Triticum aestivum, and Arabidopsis thaliana.

Transcriptional Programs and Regulators Underlying Age-Dependent and Dark-Induced Senescence in Medicago truncatula (open access)

Transcriptional Programs and Regulators Underlying Age-Dependent and Dark-Induced Senescence in Medicago truncatula

Article presents a study that reveals the dynamics of transcriptomic responses to age- and dark-induced senescence in M. truncatula and identifies senescence-associated TFs that are attractive targets for future work to control senescence in forage legumes.
