Assessment of the macroalgal genetic resources maintained in European germplasm banksNARA Subscribed
Germplasm banks are important for preserving genetic diversity, yet the availability and long-term maintenance of macroalgal strains in germplasm banks is currently limited in European collections. To support future food security, restoration efforts, and biotechnological innovation, a strategy was recently developed for the long-term preservation of macroalgal genetic diversity. A foundational step in this effort is to assess...
Purpose Mass timber construction is gaining attention as a low-carbon alternative to conventional building systems, but the end-of-life (EOL) stage remains one of the least consistently modeled phases in building life cycle assessments (LCAs). This study evaluates how recovery pathways and connection strategies influence the climate performance of prefabricated hollow timber floor systems. Methods A process-based estimation ap...
We used a high-resolution (1/12°) Modular Ocean Model version 6 implementation for the Northwest Atlantic Ocean (MOM6-NWA12) to dynamically downscale Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Earth System Model version 4.1 (GFDL-ESM4.1) projections for the 21st century. Simulations were conducted under four different Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 emission scenarios. MOM6-NWA12 accurately simulates the spatial patte...
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...
Regional Nasal Drug Deposition in Pediatric vs. Adult Models: In vitro Insights into User Technique and Breathing Patterns SensitivityNARA Subscribed
Purpose Although in vitro studies recommended for establishing bioequivalence of locally acting nasal suspension products provide useful information regarding product performance, currently they are not designed to fully account for variability introduced by patient-specific factors such as administration technique and breathing patterns. This limitation, combined with ethical and practical challenges in conducting pediatric c...
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...
Does your job really matter? Job-specific cancer incidence among a cohort coal mine workers in Queensland, AustraliaNARA Subscribed
Purpose Globally, coal production exposes millions of workers to coal mine dust. This study aimed to measure overall and site specific cancer incidence among coal mine workers (CMW) who performed different types of work. Methods A retrospective cohort of CMW in Queensland, Australia, was assembled using health assessment records from 1992. CMW were grouped by job type and then into Work Categories and linked to the Australian...
Physical drivers of historical deoxygenation events and capacity for reef recovery in a fringing reef systemNARA Subscribed
Deoxygenation events threaten coral reefs as they can result in biodiversity loss and are expected to occur more frequently with increasing sea temperatures and eutrophication. Multiple deoxygenation events have occurred at Bill’s Bay, a semi-enclosed lagoon within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Marine Park, and have been associated with significant ecosystem impacts, including fish kills and coral mortality. Althou...
