The medial meniscus of the PCL-reconstructed models experienced lower contact pressure and stresses compared to that in the intact model.

Rhizobox enables in situ and nondestructive phenotypic detection of roots in soil, serving as a cost-effective root imaging method. However, the opacity of the soil often results in intermittent gaps in the root images, which reduces the accuracy of the root phenotype calculations. We present a root inpainting method built upon Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) architecture In addition, we built a hybrid root inpainting dataset (HRID) that contains 1206 cotton root images with real gaps and 7716 rice root images with generated gaps. Compared with computer simulation root images, our dataset provides real root system architecture (RSA) and root texture information. Our method avoids cropping during training by instead utilizing downsampled images to provide the overall root morphology. The model is trained using binary cross-entropy loss to distinguish between root and non-root pixels. Additionally, Dice loss is employed to mitigate the challenge of imbalanced data distribution Additionally, we remove the skip connections in U-Net and introduce an edge attention module (EAM) to capture more detailed information. Compared with other methods, our approach significantly improves the recall rate from 17.35 % to 35.75 % on the test dataset of 122 cotton root images, revealing improved inpainting capabilities. The trait error reduction rates (TERRs) for the root area, root length, convex hull area, and root depth are 76.07 %, 68.63 %, 48.64 %, and 88.28 %, respectively, enabling a substantial improvement in the accuracy of root phenotyping.

In this study, the use of different native and invasive species was proposed to assess the environmental quality of a coastal Mediterranean wetland. A biomonitoring assessment was conducted at ten locations within the Albufera Natural Park (Spain), including irrigation channels, the lake, and the artificial wetland. The bioaccumulation of 171 CECs was evaluated in the Asian clam, the American red swamp crayfish, and the pumpkinseed sunfish, which are primary invasive species in this ecosystem. Furthermore, a comparative analysis was done with the native clam to verify whether invasive species could provide equivalent information. A total of 35 CECs were detected in at least one of the species analyzed. The Asian clam exhibited the highest number of detected compounds (23), as well as the highest chemical concentrations, particularly for pharmaceuticals. The ecological risk assessment performed with internal concentrations of CECs also pointed at the Asian clam as the most suitable species for chemical biomonitoring in this area. The compounds that had the highest contribution to the calculated ecological risk were sertraline, fluoxetine, terbuthylazine, caffeine, and oseltamivir.

We combined organic geochemical data (% total organic carbon or %TOC, δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>org</sub>, C/N ratio, and lipid <em>n</em>-alkane distribution) with trace element (TE) data to identify the organic matter (OM) sources and depositional conditions. The TE analysis data shows that water conditions were variable during the deposition of these black shales, fluctuating between oxic and dysoxic conditions with occasional anoxia. There was probably a change from an open water condition (Co∗Mn = 0.2) during the deposition of the Flat Creek Formation to a more restricted exchange later during the deposition of the Indian Castle Formation (Co∗Mn = 2.9) in the Ordovician. Basin circulation likely remained restricted during the deposition of the Devonian black shales (Co∗Mn ranges from 0.4 to 1.3).
