Ploidy is associated with multielemental reorganization across soft and mineralized body compartments

Polyploidy alters nuclear DNA content, gene dosage and cellular organization, but its consequences for organismal chemistry remain poorly resolved, particularly in animals. Because nucleic acids and associated cellular machinery require coordinated allocation of multiple elements...

Bridging the Gap: What Sports Media Hiring Managers Actually Want from Journalism School Graduates

The sports media industry has undergone seismic structural transformation over the past two decades, driven by the collapse of legacy newspaper models, the proliferation of digital platforms, and the emergence of artificial intelligence. This qualitative study examines what sport...

Developmental Trajectories of Alcohol, Mental Health and Physical Health among American Indian and First Nation Adolescents: Understanding the Role of Land-Based Cultural Engagement, Family, and Peers

We applied the Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge (ITEK) framework to understand patterns of wellbeing among American Indian and First Nation (AI/FN) adolescents; risks and protective factors associated with alcohol use, mental health, and physical health that can be tra...

Nipsnap 1 deficiency shifts neuronal and synaptic signaling toward inflammatory pathway and impairs cognitive functions in the aging brain

Mitochondrial quality control is essential for maintaining neuronal function during aging. Nipsnap1 (Nip1), a mitochondrial protein involved in mitophagy, metabolic regulation, and cellular senescence, has emerged as a potential regulator of tissue homeostasis; however, its role...

A DIAMETER AND HEMODYNAMIC REGULATION MODEL UTILIZING AN ARTERIOLAR NETWORK STRUCTURAL MODEL AND EXPERIMENT-BASED MACHINE LEARNING

Arteriolar regulation is central to maintaining adequate tissue perfusion, and its disruption can lead to adverse health outcomes. However, mechanisms governing vessel responses to complex environmental conditions within a network context remain uncertain. This study presents com...

258. Evaluating Insulin Resistance and Sensitivity Values in Beef Steers from Birth to Weaning.

Abstract Although insulin status is known to affect growth and metabolic performance, it is unclear whether maternal insulin status directly affects calf insulin status at birth. Insulin resistance has been evaluated for animal performance in the feedlot but has limited research...

333. Associations Between Rumination Behavior, Liquid Passage Kinetics, and Dry Matter Intake in Finishing Beef Steers.

Abstract Rumination behavior is commonly used as an indicator of rumen function and saliva production in cattle, but its relationship with liquid passage kinetics is not well defined. Understanding relationships between rumination behavior and liquid passage characteristics may p...

PS8-16. Effects of Feeding Varying Levels of a Glucogenic Precursor Blend on Performance Health and Metabolic Status of High-risk Heifers at Receiving.

Abstract The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of a blend of glucogenic precursors (Enercore, Biosen LLC.) in a total-mixed receiving ration on performance and morbidity outcomes. Total mixed rations were formulated to provide encapsulated Enercore in a premi...

Applying an adaptationist framework to personality science: jealousy as a mechanistic basis of Emotionality

Over the past half century, the field of personality psychology has developed several descriptive taxonomies, but progress toward a genuinely explanatory framework for between- and within-person variation in psychology and behavior has been elusive. We argue that this is largely...

The Dantzig–Fulkerson–Johnson TSP Formulation Is Easy to Solve for Few Subtour Constraints

The most successful approaches for the traveling salesman problem (TSP) use the integer programming model proposed in 1954 by Dantzig, Fulkerson, and Johnson (DFJ). Although this model has exponentially many subtour elimination constraints (SECs), it has been observed that relati...

Wheat yield prediction using machine learning, proximal sensing, nitrogen and climate data for Oklahoma

Purpose Accurate in-season yield prediction is a practical prerequisite for informed nitrogen (N) management decisions in winter wheat production, yet no rigorous framework has been established and tested against the tools producers currently rely on. Our study developed and eval...

Central Adiposity and Cardiometabolic Risk in Occupational Personnel: Nonlinear Associations with Lipid Risk and Aerobic Capacity

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether DXA-derived android-to-gynoid fat ratio (A/G) relates to cardiometabolic risk and aerobic capacity in first responders beyond BMI-based phenotypes. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 170 first responders were categorized into four BMI-body fat p...

Trade Liberalisation and Child Health: The Role of Maternal Labour Market Engagement in Indonesia

ABSTRACT This article studies whether trade liberalisation improves child health and the role of maternal labour choices in shaping these outcomes. Using evidence from Indonesia, we find significant improvements in child health following tariff reductions. However, once trade‐ind...

Behavioral intention to participate in carbon-based forest management: An extension of the theory of planned behavior

Afforestation on marginal lands through carbon-based forest management (CBFM) is a viable approach to sequester carbon and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The participation of private landowners is essential for CBFM implementation, as most marginal lands in the Southern United...

A Live Single-Cycle RSV Vaccine with Immune Responses Focused on Prefusion F and the Central Conserved Region of Attachment Protein G

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe lower respiratory tract disease in infants and children, and a pediatric vaccine is not available. Among various approaches, live vaccines are attractive as they induce broad multi-antigenic responses and have never bee...

Genome-wide association mapping of major QTLs for resistance to bacterial leaf-streak disease (Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa) in elite hard winter wheat germplasm

Bacterial leaf streak (BLS), caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. undulosa ( Xtu ), is an increasing threat to wheat ( Triticum aestivum L .) production in the Northern Great Plains of the United States, where severe epidemics can cause up to 60% yield losses in susceptible geno...

Knowledge protection and modularity of innovation activities in firms: Evidence from US trade secrecy law

Abstract Research Summary Strategy scholars have theoretically explored the relationship between legal knowledge protection and modularity of innovation activities in firms, but this relationship has yet to be empirically tested in the literature. Leveraging state‐level changes i...

Integrated Moisture-Swing Process for CO2 Capture and Release Using Non-Aqueous Absorbents

Abstract Moisture-swing CO2 capture has emerged as a promising low-energy alternative to conventional thermal/pressure/vacuum swings by exploiting humidity-driven shifts in carbonate/bicarbonate equilibria, most commonly in solid sorbents such as ion-exchange resins. Extending th...

Personal networks and cognitive health across rural-urban contexts

Abstract Objectives Prior research often reports geographic cognitive health disparities in later life, including across rural-urban contexts. Yet few studies have examined the role of personal social networks in shaping these geographic disparities. This study investigates wheth...
