    Abstract This article is a reply to the comment of Wagner (2009) concerning our article in this issue (Webster et al. 2009). We believe that our use of rate of value growth (RVG), which is analogous to internal rate of return, is acceptable and even preferred for the situation we address. We agree with Wagner that maximization of net present value (NPV) is generally a preferred criterion if certain general conditions exist. As documented in the article, we recommend calculating the RVG and then comparing that value to the relevant threshold interest rate, as selected by the decisionmaker, to make the decision whether to retain a high-quality sugar maple crop tree for another cutting cycle. It is the threshold interest rate that is a true interest rate and that includes, among other things, a risk adjustment premium appropriate for this investment; the RVG was not represented as an interest rate in Webster et al. (2009). We believe RVG is a more appropriate criterion for several reasons: it is widely used by practitioners, closely related previous literature relied on similar measures, take and leave decisions are identical to the NPV criterion for interest rates 4% and above, and the perfect capital markets assumption that leads to NPV being the superior criterion is not satisfied.

    Abstract Previous research has shown there are particular patterns of license plate designs that are easier to recall. Missouri license plate patterns (AB1-C2D) somewhat diverge from what research suggests works best for recall. The current study examined whether incorporating color into license plates would improve recall, and also whether awareness or explanation of license plate formats would affect recall accuracy. Across two experiments, participants viewed license plate stimuli with and without color and attempted to recall them. The hypothesis was that incorporating color would improve recall, but the hypothesis was not supported. Results also did not show that prior exposure or explanation of formats affected accuracy. Future research should explore additional ways to improve license plate designs that would be easy to implement. Such improvements to license plate design would be useful because efforts to improve the public's awareness of formats would be expensive and likely ineffective.

    Abstract Luteovirids rank among the most destructive viruses of economically important crops. Until now their structures have only been inferred by inadequate homology models due to their phloem-limited infection and inadequate yields. Employing virus-like particles, Byrne et al. (2019) now report near-atomic resolution structures of two family members providing important functional insights.

    Abstract In the fall of 2021, several experts in this space delivered a Webinar hosted by the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) Diversity and Inclusion Committee, focused on expanding the understanding of bias in artificial intelligence, with a health equity lens, and provided key concepts for neuroradiologists to approach the evaluation of these tools. In this perspective, we distill key parts of this discussion, including understanding why this topic is important to neuroradiologists and lending insight on how neuroradiologists can develop a framework to assess health equity-related bias in artificial intelligence tools. In addition, we provide examples of clinical workflow implementation of these tools so that we can begin to see how artificial intelligence tools will impact discourse on equitable radiologic care. As continuous learners, we must be engaged in new and rapidly evolving technologies that emerge in our field. The Diversity and Inclusion Committee of the ASNR has addressed this subject matter through its programming content revolving around health equity in neuroradiologic advances.

    Abstract Assessing the effects of industrial development on wildlife is a key objective of managers and conservation practitioners. However, wildlife responses are often only investigated with respect to the footprint of infrastructure, even though human activity can strongly mediate development impacts. In Arctic Alaska, there is substantial interest in expanding energy development, raising concerns about the potential effects on barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti). While caribou generally avoid industrial infrastructure, little is known about the role of human activity in moderating their responses, and whether managing activity levels could minimize development effects. To address this uncertainty, we examined the influence of traffic volume on caribou summer space use and road crossings in the Central Arctic Herd within the Kuparuk and Milne Point oil fields on the North Slope of Alaska. We first modeled spatiotemporal variation in hourly traffic volumes across the road system from traffic counter data using gradient-boosted regression trees. We then used generalized additive models to estimate nonlinear step selection functions and road-crossing probabilities from collared female caribou during the post-calving and insect harassment seasons, when they primarily interact with roads. Step selection analyses revealed that caribou selected areas further from roads (~1-3 km) during the post-calving and mosquito seasons and selected areas with lower traffic volumes during all seasons, with selection probabilities peaking when traffic was <5 vehicles/h. Using road-crossing models, we found that caribou were less likely to cross roads during the insect seasons as traffic increased, but that response dissipated as insect harassment became more severe. Past studies suggested that caribou exhibit behavioral responses when traffic exceeds 15 vehicles/h, but our results demonstrate behavioral responses at much lower traffic levels. Our results illustrate that vehicle activity mediates caribou responses to road infrastructure, information that can be used in future land-use planning to minimize the behavioral responses of caribou to industrial development in sensitive Arctic landscapes.
