Synthesis, characterization, and process optimization of natural coagulants from jackfruit and durian seeds for turbidity removalNARA Subscribed
Starch was extracted from jackfruit and durian seeds using distilled water and alkaline methods, with higher yields obtained via distilled water (27.7% and 18.4%, respectively). The extracted starches were cationized using 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTA) to enhance coagulation performance. Characterization confirmed successful functionalization, with particle size increases of 32% (jackfruit) and 45% (...
The Asia region harbors exceptional chondrichthyan (shark, ray, and chimaera) diversity but faces intense fishing pressure. The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) process provides a collaborative, evidence-based framework to identify critical habitats and inform spatial management. We assessed ISRAs across the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, and the Northwest Pacific to characterize their extent, ecological significance, and...
The Ulleung Basin (UB), in the East Sea (Japan Sea) hosts a long-term ocean monitoring station with a time-series sediment trap. We present new 1-year sinking particle fluxes, along with organic (radiocarbon) and inorganic (detrital neodymium; ϵNd -detrital ) isotopic compositions of sinking particles and surface sediments in order to constrain lateral particle advection. The εNd -detrital values of the Korean Peninsula and th...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
County-level socioeconomic status, rurality, and second primary cancer risk among breast cancer survivors in the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Background Breast cancer survivors have an increased risk of second primary cancers (SPCs), the role of county-level socioeconomic status and rurality—factors that may influence access to treatment, surveillance, and preventive care—remains understudied. Methods We identified 721,957 women with localized/regional first primary breast cancer who survived ≥ 1 year in 17 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries (200...
