Gulf sturgeon are federally listed as “threatened” and are native to seven rivers along the northern Gulf of Mexico. Populations natal to the Pascagoula River have one verified spawning reach in the lower Bouie River, near Hattiesburg, MS. This reach is modified by four aggregate mining areas, referred to as pits. Researchers observed post-spawn Gulf sturgeon over-summering in pits rather than migrating to downstream holding a...
Predicting permeability from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) data is a fundamental yet challenging task in reservoir characterization, primarily due to the uncertainty associated with surface relaxivity ( $$\rho $$ ρ ) parameters. In this work, we investigate the feasibility of using Machine Learning (ML) to estimate permeability from $$T_2$$ T 2 distributions and quantify how $$\rho $$ ρ uncertainty affects predictive accura...
Patient-Specific Adaptation of a Mechano-Regulatory Bone-Healing Model Using Longitudinal Loading DataNARA Subscribed
Patient-specific simulation frameworks are increasingly used to support orthopaedic trauma decision-making, yet robust coupling of longitudinal loading data to mechano-regulated healing models remains challenging. Here, we present a workflow that links patient-specific finite element mechanics to an established mechano-regulatory reaction-diffusion healing model and updates boundary conditions longitudinally using weekly knee...
Exposure of coastal protected areas to storm surge and sea level rise in the United States Mid-Atlantic BightNARA Subscribed
Sea Level Rise (SLR) and storm intensification are a consequence of climate change. As a result, coastal areas are becoming increasingly vulnerable to storm surge exposure. The purpose of this study is to quantify the increased exposure of coastal natural Protected Areas (PA) in the Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB) region of the United States to hurricane-induced storm surge, particularly when compounded by SLR. In addition, we examin...
The existence of prokaryotes escaping filtration through 0.2‐μm filters has been known for decades. Such ‘filterable’ prokaryotes (hereafter ‘FP’) might include true ultra‐small groups (i.e., ultramicrobacteria), but also cells that miniaturize temporally as a physiological strategy to persist under unfavourable conditions, representing a ‘seed bank’ that can flourish when conditions change. However, the taxonomy, environmenta...
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...
Cytotoxic edema (CE) is a radiographic marker of early tissue injury in cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) associated with poor outcomes, yet its mechanistic pathway remains unclear. We investigated whether intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) mediates the association between CE and outcomes. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the multicenter CLOT-VENUS registry, including acute CVT patients treated at two Comprehensiv...
