Main covariability patterns between the Loop Current and the flow through the Yucatan Channel from altimetry and sustained moored observations

The Loop Current (\textbf{LC}) dominates circulation in the Gulf of Mexico, yet how its surface structure relates to Yucatan Channel flow remains incompletely understood. We apply maximum covariance analysis to altimetry-derived geostrophic speed over the LC domain and Canek velo...

Differentiable Spatial Autocorrelation in End-to-End Deep Learning for Hedonic Agricultural Land Pricing

We propose an end-to-end differentiable framework for hedonic agricultural land pricing that integrates deep learning-based land cover classification with spatial econometric modeling into a single neural architecture. Traditional hedonic pricing approaches typically separate lan...

‘Staircase Framework’—To Enhance Creative, Critical Thinking, and Intellect in Higher-Degree Research Programs

Background: Thesis writing is a complex academic and emotional process that requires learners to develop research, writing, and communication skills while navigating through uncertainty, evolving research challenges, and gaining greater levels of scholar independence. Although sc...

Mechanistic Insights into Vernonia calvoana-Induced Apoptosis in Ovarian Cancer Cells via the Intrinsic Pathway

Vernonia calvoana (VC), a commonly used medicinal plant in West Africa, has been shown by our research team to inhibit the proliferation of OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cells through mechanisms involving oxidative stress, DNA damage, and S-phase cell cycle arrest. The objective of the...

Electrical Stimulation of Human Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Schwann Cells for Regulating Extracellular Vesicle Biogenesis and Inflammation

Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a debilitating condition characterized by chronic pain, numbness, and motor dysfunction, with limited treatment options. Ischemic stroke can cause central neuropathy, which may also induce PN. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have shown promise i...

Crafting Your Values & Resilience Blueprint

Generation Z is reshaping the academic landscape through their unique demographic make-up, generational norms, and digital fluency. To effectively support this generation, management educators can equip students with tools to navigate educational, social, economic, and profession...

Association of past colorectal cancer screening with family history of cancer and behavioral factors in Quito, Ecuador: a mixed methods study

In Latin America, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer among men and fourth most common cancer among women. Ecuador has experienced an upward trend in CRC incidence and mortality, highlighting the need to strengthen population-based prevention and early detection str...
