In humans, testicular peritubular cells (TPCs) form a small compartment surrounding the seminiferous tubules and, as shown previously, undergo age-related changes. How they may contribute to the age-associated decline of testicular functions is not well known. Likewise, the mechanisms of testicular aging in humans are not well examined. This is in part due to the lack of appropriate cellular models. We aimed to establish an ag...
Training effects of affordance judgments in four different settings: towards developing a training battery for affordance judgmentsNARA Subscribed
Training affordance judgments (AJs) across different settings, such as judging whether an object is within reach or an obstacle conquerable, could be meaningful to older adults and neurological patients with diminished judgment behaviors. The long-term aim is to develop a comprehensive training battery with different types of AJ tasks. The present study used a between-subjects design to evaluate trainability in four different...
Small-scale coastal fisheries in the Mediterranean often employ gillnets, a widely used gear worldwide. The disadvantages of gillnets in this fishery include high bycatch levels of unwanted species and consequent discards. Moreover, spatial conflict with other gears and dolphin depredation often results in considerable economic loss. Alternative fishing methods are being tested. This study investigated whether, in small-scale...
Aligning Event-Related Potentials with Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation for Modulation—a ReviewNARA Subscribed
This review aims to demonstrate the connections between event-related potentials (ERPs), event-related oscillations (EROs), and non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), with a specific focus on transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS). We begin with a short examination and discussion of the relation between ERPs and EROs. Then, we investigate the diverse fields of NIBS, highlighting tACS as a potent tool for modulatin...
Recent increases in frequency and intensity of warm water anomalies and marine heatwaves have led to shifts in species ranges and assemblages. Genomic tools can be instrumental in detecting such shifts. In the early stages of a project assessing population genetic structure in Pacific Sardine ( Sardinops sagax ), we detected the presence of Japanese Sardine ( Sardinops melanosticta ) along the west coast of North America for t...
The European Union (EU) Battery Regulation aims to establish a circular battery production and sets minimum battery material recycled targets for new batteries from post‐production and post‐consumer waste batteries. However, it is uncertain whether these targets can be met due to dynamic market developments and if their compliance results in environmental benefits. Therefore, this study examines the circular battery production...
Isolating the drivers of the species‐area relationship in experimental habitat islandsNARA Subscribed
Aim Considered one of ecology's laws, the species‐area relationship (SAR) is among the most intensively studied ecological phenomena, yet the mechanisms through which the SAR arises and under what circumstances remain poorly understood. Here, we experimentally test the effects of area alone in the absence of commonly invoked mechanistic drivers of the SAR in both sub‐tidal bay and inter‐tidal marsh habitats. Location Louisiana...
Green batteries for clean skies: Sustainability assessment of lithium‐sulfur all‐solid‐state batteries for electric aircraftNARA Subscribed
The use of novel battery technologies in short‐haul electric aircraft can support the aviation sector in achieving its goals for a sustainable development. However, the production of the batteries is often associated with adverse environmental and socio‐economic impacts, potentially leading to burden shifting. Therefore, this paper investigates alternative technologies for lithium–sulfur all‐solid‐state batteries (LiS‐ASSBs) i...
