In maritime accident prevention, it is important to identify not only high-risk sea areas but also which accident-types are most likely to occur there. This study combines survey responses from 826 Korea Coast Guard practitioners with 3856 maritime accidents mapped onto an H3 grid over Korean territorial waters during 2021–2023, and proposes a practitioner-informed framework for predicting accident-type-specific risk. The surv...

NIMA-related kinase 2 (NEK2) is a serine/threonine kinase that plays crucial roles in cellular events such as centrosome separation, cell cycle progression, spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) regulation, and microtubule stabilization. However, its regulatory function during oocyte meiotic maturation remains unclear. In this study, NEK2 activity was inhibited using the specific inhibitor MBM-55 to evaluate its role in oocyte mei...

Ship positional data are widely used for route inference, yet most existing studies rely on automatic identification system data, which contain irregular transmission intervals and limit the ability to capture vessel-specific operational habits and subtle route choices. This study addresses these limitations by proposing a methodology to infer customary routes using periodic 3 s ship position data collected through the Korean...

Benzyl benzoate (BB) is widely used in the food, cosmetics, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries and is discharged into the aquatic environment via various water sources, including wastewater. Research on the bioaccumulation and possible toxicity of BB has been conducted, but the biochemical responses to BB toxicity are not fully understood, and the specific molecular pathways by which BB causes toxicity remain unknown....
