Timing of water limitation moderates drought hardiness traits of western larch (Larix occidentalis) seedlingsNARA Subscribed
Water limitation during tree seedling cultivation can promote traits that improve drought hardiness. Nurseries apply water limitation mostly during a brief developmental window of seedling growth, which may restrict the range of useful traits achievable through water limitation if phenotypic responses differ across ontogeny. We characterized the diversity of western larch ( Larix occidentalis (Nutt.)) seedling traits produced...
Barriers and facilitators to implementing the European code of cancer practice in a rural and coastal setting: a qualitative studyNARA Subscribed
Purpose The European Code of Cancer Practice (ECCP) is a patient-centred framework for good clinical cancer practice, to improve outcomes for all of Europe’s patients [1]. Given challenges with applications to rural regions, the study aimed to explore the barriers and facilitators to implementing the ECCP in a rural, coastal, and urban context. Methods We conducted semi-structured individual and group interviews with nine acut...
Submaximal walking increases MicroRNA-126 and angiogenic markers in men and women with peripheral arterial diseaseNARA Subscribed
Purpose Vascular dysfunction is a pathophysiological mechanism in peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD patients exhibit reduced circulating expression of microRNA-126 (c-miRNA-126) and VEGF. Submaximal walking (SW) is recommended in PAD because it increases walking capacity, partially by improving vascular regulation, which can be observed after a walking session. Nevertheless, previous studies were conducted with maximal walk...
Microbiome and Pathobiome Characterization in Farmed Barramundi ( Lates calcarifer ) During and Post Scale Drop Disease OutbreaksNARA Subscribed
Large‐scale double‐digest RAD sequencing (ddRADseq) datasets generated for genotyping are increasingly available in aquaculture, yet their unmapped reads remain largely unexplored for pathogen surveillance. Here, we evaluated the utility and limitations of repurposing unmapped ddRADseq reads to examine pathogen‐associated and disease‐associated microbiome‐pathobiome patterns during scale drop disease (SDD) outbreaks in farmed...
Rationale Affective behavioral effects of kappa-opioid receptor (KOR) stimulation have been found to vary between the rostral and caudal nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell, but this has so far only been demonstrated in males. Objectives To examine the effects of KOR activation in subregions of the NAc shell on affective and motivated behavior in females. Methods In one group of Long-Evans rats, females were given access to 20% etha...
A Coast-to-Coast Assessment of Cumulative Impacts and Protection Potential in Canadian Marine Conservation NetworksNARA Subscribed
The effectiveness of marine conservation networks depends on their ability to manage and safeguard against the many overlapping human activities and stressors influencing marine ecosystems. Cumulative impact mapping (CIM) combines information on the intensity and location of stressors with the spatial extent and vulnerability of marine habitats to generate a single, relative cumulative impact (CI) score. Despite its potential...
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...
