Introduction Dietary exposure to melamine (MELA) adversely affects growth performance and intestinal health in Nile tilapia. This study evaluated the protective effects of Crataegus sinaica leaf extract (CSL) against MELA-induced toxicity. Methods In this study, a total of 240 fish (26.39 ± 0.22) were randomly assigned to four groups (60 fish/group; four replicates of 15 fish each). The control group received a basal diet, the...
Herbal-based additives are now recognized as effective tools of growth and immunity in aquaculture. Seeking these botanical alternatives is a practical necessity for sustainable farming and chemical reduction. Moringa oleifera flowers (MOF), in particular, offer significant potential due to their established history in treating inflammation and respiratory conditions. However, the potential of these additives to enhance growth...
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...
Diagnosing scaling bottlenecks in 10 community conservation initiatives in southern and eastern AfricaNARA Subscribed
Scaling area‐based conservation, including initiatives led or comanaged by Indigenous Peoples and local communities, is a flagship goal of the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Conservationists often aspire to scale initiatives, but this is rarely achieved in practice. Identifying and addressing factors that limit initiative adoption (i.e., bottlenecks) could improve scaling strategies. We used insightsfrom 84 ex...
