Human mobility networks reveal increased segregation in large cities

socioeconomic statuses. Our findings challenge a long-standing conjecture in human geography and highlight how urban design can both prevent and facilitate encounters among diverse individuals. ... studies of human mobility across many different areas including COVID-19 modelling51, political polarization39 and consumer preference tracking52. All data provided by SafeGraph were stored on a secure

Geospatial modelling of farmer–herder interactions maps cultural geography of Bronze and Iron Age Tibet, 3600–2200 BP

modelling of prehistoric human mobility in Tibet. In this study, we developed an integrated high-resolution geospatial model and network analysis that simulates and correlates subsistence-based mobility and ... prehistory. We seek to understand how the geospatial patterning of interactions—modelled as a mobility network between agrarian zones and highland pastures—correlates with the evident geography of human

Native American geography shaped historical fire frequency in forests of eighteenth-century Pennsylvania, USA

mean fire interval but without Native American landuse proxies28. Stambaugh et al.20 used regression to model historical fire return interval from FSRs in Missouri versus terrain roughness, human ... American geography to FSRs for the eastern US, Great Lakes, and central PA. We then assessed whether climate, terrain, and distance-based Native American landuse proxies were correlated with historical fire

Air pollution exposure may impact the composition of human milk oligosaccharides

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) impact neonate immunity and health outcomes. However, the environmental factors influencing HMO composition remain understudied. This study examined the

Cellular mechanotransduction of human osteoblasts in microgravity

Dynamic enhancer landscapes in human craniofacial development

The genetic basis of human facial variation and craniofacial birth defects remains poorly understood. Distant-acting transcriptional enhancers control the fine-tuned spatiotemporal expression of ... genetic basis of human facial variation and craniofacial birth defects remains poorly understood. Distant-acting transcriptional enhancers control the fine-tuned spatiotemporal expression of genes during

Levels of evidence for human system risk evaluation

NASA uses a continuous risk management process to seek out new knowledge of spaceflight-induced risk to human health and performance. The evidence base that informs the risk assessments in this ... that span disciplines, including engineering, medicine, food and nutrition, and many other life sciences. The Human System Risk Board (HSRB) at NASA is responsible for assessing risk to astronauts and

Triadic signatures of global human mobility networks

theories to refugee network dynamics—, potentially furthering theoretical development with respect to both network theory and theories on human mobility. ... Introduction Refugee and migrant movements represent the most fundamental [ 1 ] and most extreme reactions to natural and human-induced change. When viewed together, these movements form complex networks—with

Spatially organized cellular communities form the developing human heart

identity of the cardiac cell types that develop the human heart. This approach also provided a spatial mapping of individual cells that enables illumination of their organization into cellular communities ... . Interrogating cell-cell interactions within these communities using in vivo conditional genetic mouse models and in vitro human pluripotent stem cell systems revealed multicellular signalling pathways that

A multimodal submillimeter MRI atlas of the human cerebellum

The human cerebellum is engaged in a broad array of tasks related to motor coordination, cognition, language, attention, memory, and emotional regulation. A detailed cerebellar atlas can facilitate ... considerably larger surface area and intricately folded pattern of the human cerebellar cortex, in comparison to other mammals32,33, indicate its potential relevance to cognitive performance. Recent years have

Development of an automated human scent olfactometer and its use to evaluate detection dog perception of human scent

Working Dogs have shown an extraordinary ability to utilize olfaction for victim recovery efforts. Although instrumental analysis has chemically characterized odor volatiles from various human ... remains unclear what perceptually constitutes human scent (HS) for dogs. This may be in part due to the lack of methodology and equipment to train and evaluate HS perception. The aims of this research were

Tapping into the human spinal locomotor centres with transspinal stimulation

Human locomotion is controlled by spinal neuronal networks of similar properties, function, and organization to those described in animals. Transspinal stimulation affects the spinal locomotor ... their control on stepping8–10. Human CPGs have been a black box for decades, giving rise to great debates regarding their existence and function11. Direct evidence in humans is difficult, but the

Dynamic and distinct histone modifications facilitate human trophoblast lineage differentiation
