Embedding Community Engagement in Underrepresented Student Cancer Research Training Programs: A Preliminary ReportNARA Subscribed
Training programs designed to increase participation of underrepresented students in cancer-related careers rarely include structured community engagement components. We describe the design and pilot of the Field Experience in Cancer Outreach and Engagement (FECOE), a program developed as part of the CREATE Partnership (Cancer Research and Education to Advance HealTh Excellence), a National Cancer Institute-funded grant to San...
The Mesolithic period has a long history of study in the Cantabrian region (Northern Iberia) due to the relatively high concentration of human remains dating to this period. Previous analysis of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes focussed on bone collagen, useful in broadly characterising Mesolithic diet, and particularly in identifying distinct inland and coastal diets. But this long-term average view does not permit the stu...
Optimization of chemically activated carbon derived from malt bagasse for CO₂ adsorption: a simplex-centroid approachNARA Subscribed
The intensification of the greenhouse effect has been primarily driven by anthropogenic CO₂ emissions, leading to significant climate change. Among the strategies to mitigate CO₂ emissions from industrial activities, adsorption using activated carbons (ACs) derived from renewable sources stands out as a promising approach. Activated carbons were prepared via chemical activation of malt bagasse, a brewing industry by-product, u...
Understanding the ecology of large pelagic fishes is important for species conservation and maintaining ecosystem dynamics. The Atlantic blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) is usually targeted in recreational fisheries and occasionally captured as bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries, yet it is considered an overexploited stock in the Atlantic. In this study, pop-up archival satellite tags were deployed on twenty-one blue marlins...
Purpose There are increasing concerns regarding detrimental health effects of added sugar in food and drink products. Non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) and sweetness enhancers (SE) are seen as viable alternatives. Much work has been done on health and safety of NNS&SE when consumed in place of sugar, but very little on their sustainability. This work aims to bridge that gap with an environmental study of replacing added sugar wit...
Interactions between whale‐watching vessels and cetaceans have raised questions regarding the sustainability of whale‐watching. This study aimed to build a model for managing whale‐watching activity. The approach involved establishing vessel‐exposure thresholds based on changes in short‐term behavioral responses of southern right whales in the Bahía San Antonio Marine Protected Area of Argentina. The model serves as a source o...
Extreme rainfall and landslides as a response to human-induced climate change: a case study at Baixada Santista, Brazil, 2020NARA Subscribed
In March 2020, an extreme rainfall in Baixada Santista, Brazil, led to a series of landslides affecting more than 2800 people and resulting losses exceeding USD 43 million. This attribution study compared extreme rainfall in two large ensembles of the UK Met Office Hadley Centre HadGEM3-GA6 model that represented the event with and without the effects of anthropogenic climate change. Antecedent rainfall conditions on two diffe...
Aquatic vegetation in the littoral zone plays a crucial role in attenuating wave energy and protecting coastal communities from hazardous events. This study contributes to the development of numerical models aimed at designing nature-based coastal defense systems. Specifically, a novel numerical application for simulating wave–vegetation interactions at the stem scale is presented. The numerical model employed, DualSPHysics, c...
