TL;DR: This methane release simulates a rapid and relatively short-term natural release from hydrates into deep water and suggests that a vigorous deepwater bacterial bloom respired nearly all the released methane within this time, and that by analogy, large-scale releases of methane from hydrate in the deep ocean are likely to be met by a similarly rapid methanotrophic response.

TL;DR: It is proposed that these ‘particle injection pumps’ probably sequester as much carbon as the gravitational pump, helping to close the carbon budget and motivating further investigation into their environmental control.

TL;DR: Cuff BP has variable accuracy for measuring either brachial or aortic intra-arterial BP, and this adversely influences correct BP classification, indicating that stronger accuracy standards for BP devices may improve cardiovascular risk management.

TL;DR: Machine learning is used to map global ocean methane fluxes, finding a disproportionate contribution from shallow coastal waters, and a link between primary production and methane cycling, which is consistent with hypothesized pathways of in situ methane production during organic matter cycling.
