Bacterial community structure and function shift across a northern boreal forest fire chronosequence
(Springer Nature, 2016)Soil microbial responses to fire are likely to change over the course of forest recovery. Investigations on long-term changes in bacterial dynamics following fire are rare. We characterized the soil bacterial communities ... -
Basal ice formation in snow cover in Northern Finland between 1948 and 2016
(IOP Publishing, 2018)Basal ice formation in the terrestrial snow cover is a common phenomenon in northern circumpolar areas, one having significant impacts on ecosystems, vegetation, animals and human activities. There is limited knowledge on ... -
Baseline Telomere Length and Effects of a Multidomain Lifestyle Intervention on Cognition: The FINGER Randomized Controlled Trial
(IOS PressAlankomaat, 2017)Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is a biomarker of aging, and it is associated with lifestyle. It is currently unknown whether LTL is associated with the response to lifestyle interventions. The goal is to assess whether ... -
Bayesian aerosol retrieval algorithm for MODIS AOD retrieval over land
(Copernicus GmbH, 2018)We have developed a Bayesian aerosol retrieval (BAR) algorithm for the retrieval of aerosol optical depth (AOD) over land from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). In the BAR algorithm, we simultaneously ... -
Bayesian approach to single-tree detection in airborne laser scanning - use of training data for prior and likelihood modeling
(IOP Publishing, 2018)This paper introduces a novel computational approach to handling remote sensing data from forests. More specifically, we consider the problem of detecting an unknown number of trees based on airborne laser scanning (ALS) ... -
Bayesian estimation of seasonal course of canopy leaf area index from hyperspectral satellite data
(Elsevier BV, 2018)In this paper, Bayesian inversion of a physically-based forest reflectance model is investigated to estimate of boreal forest canopy leaf area index (LAI) from EO-1 Hyperion hyperspectral data. The data consist of multiple ... -
Bayesian Network Model to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment of Sleep Apnea
(The Korean Society of Medical Informatics (KAMJE), 2018)Objectives The association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and mortality or serious cardiovascular events over a long period of time is not clearly understood. The aim of this observational study was to estimate the ... -
Beaming the second harmonic generation from a double layered bull's eye structure
(Elsevier BVAlankomaat, 2019)We report on a numerical investigation of the beaming effect of second harmonic generation (SHG) from a double layered bull’s eye structure where a nanobowtie is sandwiched between. Both linear and nonlinear responses were ... -
Behavioral outcome measures to improve experimental stroke research
(Elsevier BVAlankomaat, 2018)Functional recovery after an experimental stroke can be assessed by multiple behavioral tests, however, there is no consensus about which test to use in long-term stroke recovery studies or whether the tests are affected ... -
Behavioral testing of mice exposed to intermediate frequency magnetic fields indicates mild memory impairment
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017)Human exposure to intermediate frequency magnetic fields (MF) is increasing due to applications like electronic article surveillance systems and induction heating cooking hobs. However, limited data is available on their ... -
Beneficial Effects of Regular Physical Exercises on Mental State in Visually Impaired and Deaf-blind Adults
(Horizon Research Publishing Corporation, 2016)The most common mental health problems in visually impaired and deaf-blind adults are depression, anxiety, tension, difficulties in falling asleep and disturbed sleep. The physical training program used in this study was ... -
Benefits of switching from latanoprost to preservative-free tafluprost eye drops: a meta-analysis of two Phase IIIb clinical trials
(Dove Medical Press Ltd., 2016)Introduction: Glaucoma patients frequently exhibit ocular surface side effects during treatment with prostaglandin eye drops. The present work investigated whether glaucoma patients suffering from signs and symptoms of ... -
Benzenesulphonamide inhibitors of the cytolytic protein perforin
(Elsevier BV, 2017)The pore-forming protein perforin is a key component of mammalian cell-mediated immunity and essential to the pathway that allows elimination of virus-infected and transformed cells. Perforin activity has also been implicated ... -
Bessel-correlated supercontinuum fields
(Yhdysvallat (USA), 2017)We examine the spatial coherence properties of supercontinuum fields generated by illuminating rotating bulk media with intense pulsed beams. Theoretical models are presented, which indicate the possibility of generating ... -

Bicycle model on climate change education: presenting and evaluating a model
(Informa UK Limited, 2019)This article presents and evaluates a model made for climate change education – the bicycle model. The model was created based on an extensive literature review, from which, essential aspects of climate change education ... -
Big data sharing and analysis to advance research in post-traumatic epilepsy
(Elsevier BV, 2019)We describe the infrastructure and functionality for a centralized preclinical and clinical data repository and analytic platform to support importing heterogeneous multi-modal data, automatically and manually linking data ... -
Binding Affinity via Docking: Fact and Fiction
(MDPI AGSveitsi, 2018)In 1982, Kuntz et al. published an article with the title “A Geometric Approach to Macromolecule-Ligand Interactions”, where they described a method “to explore geometrically feasible alignment of ligands and receptors of ...
