Genetic basis of right and left ventricular heart shape

Abstract Heart shape captures variation in cardiac structure beyond traditional phenotypes of mass and volume.Although observational studies have demonstrated associations with cardiometabolic risk factors and diseases, its genetic basis is less understood.We utilised cardiovascular magnetic resonance images from 45,683 UK Biobank participants to c

Improving precision of field inventory estimation of aboveground biomass through an alternative view on plot biomass

Abstract We contrast a new continuous approach (CA) for estimating plot-level above-ground biomass (AGB) in forest inventories with the current approach of estimating AGB exclusively from the tree-level AGB predicted for each tree in a plot, henceforth called DA (discrete approach).With the CA, the AGB in a forest is modelled as a continuous surfac
