Background Psychiatric disorders are multigenic diseases with complex etiology contributing
significantly to human morbidity and mortality. Although clinically distinct, several disorders …

Mistletoes have a global distribution and are the largest group of parasitic plants living
within the canopies of woody plants. In European forests, Viscum album L. ssp. album (common …

Purpose Previous work using ambulatory voice recordings has shown no differences in average
vocal behavior between patients with phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction and matched …

CRISPR–Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR associated)
systems allow bacteria to adapt to infection by acquiring ‘spacer’ sequences from invader …

Purpose The purpose of this article is to examine the ability of an acoustic measure, relative
fundamental frequency (RFF), to distinguish between two subtypes of vocal hyperfunction (…

As watersheds are complex systems that are difficult to directly study, the streams that drain
them are often sampled to search for watershed “signals.” These signals include the …

The first contact between precipitation and the land surface is often a plant canopy. The
resulting precipitation partitioning by vegetation returns water back to the atmosphere (…

Plant canopies divert a portion of precipitation to the base of their stems through “stemflow”,
a phenomenon that influences the canopy water balance, soil microbial ecology, and …

Purpose This study investigated the use of neck-skin acceleration for relative fundamental
frequency (RFF) analysis. Method Forty individuals with voice disorders associated with vocal …

The 1999 Regional Haze Rule provides a context for this review of visibility, the science that
describes it, and the use of that science in regulatory guidance. The scientific basis for the …
