A Global Conservation Assessment of Temperate Forests: Status and Protection
… in the boreal and tropical biomes. I conducted regional analyses for five continents on the degree of protection of temperate forests across naturally occurring geographic and elevational ranges. My results indicate that protected temperate forests do not represent the full geographic and …

The Cellular and Molecular Determinants of Hippocampus Size in a Female Monkey Model of Depression
… functioning, few human studies report separate regional analyses. Moreover, animal models of depression have historically been male rodents, and relatively little research has been conducted in regard to female depression, despite the 2-fold increased prevalence of depression in women and known …

The relationship between precipitation and electromagnetic signals in the Schumann resonances
… Administration (NOAA). Spatial and quantitative analyses reveal a rough proportionality between pairs of these three quantities as well as the existence of an apparent planetary wave with approximate 5-day periodicity. Schumann resonance analyses have detected this wave in several regions of the …

A GIS application for regional streamflow analysis
Regional analysis is a statistical procedure used by hydrologists to estimate streamflow parameters for ungauged streams. The procedure involves analyzing historical flow records for streams in a particular region, in order to estimate flows for other streams in the region. Traditionally, the …

Modeling Neural Stem Cell Dynamics in Congenital Heart Disease
… prefrontal cortex that are produced postnatally. Regional analyses using immunohistochemical staining for doublecortin (DCX), a marker expressed by immature neurons, revealed that DCX+ clusters co-express markers of neuronal cell migration (PSA-NCAM), GABAergic interneuron marker (GABA+), and …

A Radiative Analysis of Angular Signatures and Oblique Radiance Retrievals Over the Polar Regions From the Multi-Angle Imaging Spectroradiometer
… and evaluates the performance through global and regional analyses. The Band-Differenced Angular Signature (BDAS) uses the oblique cameras from MISR in the direction of forward-scattered radiation, for which low clouds over ice are a strength. The Angular Signature Cloud Mask (ASCM) applies …
