Environmental nitrogen losses in winter wheat across yield zones under long-term precipitation variability

Nitrogen (N) loss dynamics from winter wheat in humid agroecosystems remain uncertain due to variability in soil characteristics across yield zones and high interannual precipitation variability. We hypothesized that dominant N loss pathways vary significantly across yield zones,...

Fire-Smoke InducedProtein Alterations in Firefighters'Body Fluids Identify Prognostic Pan-cancer Biomarkers

Abstract Firefighters are routinely exposed to complex mixtures of toxicants during fire suppression, and growing evidence links these exposures to elevated cancer risk. Proteomic profiling provides a sensitive means to detect early molecular alterations associated with such occu...

Primary Care Clinical Rotations Are Associated with Shifts in Senior Veterinary Students’ Perceptions of Scope, Complexity, and Career Alignment

The study objective was to evaluate changes in senior veterinary students' perceptions of companion animal primary care and career preferences following a primary care clinical rotation. A multi-institutional survey was administered to veterinary students at 10 US colleges of vet...

Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Cementitious Waste-Coated Polyamide 6 Composites

The study investigates pozzolanic materials, silica fume, and fly ash as reinforcement agents in a polyamide 6 (PA6) matrix with cement. The materials were combined in various proportions and applied via ultrasonic coating before being extruded into composite filament samples. Di...

The Long-Term Effect of Auto-Generated Corrective Exercise Programming on Movement Literacy Among Firefighters

Introduction: Approximately 50% of firefighter injuries occur in the musculoskeletal system and poor movement quality increases injury risk. Previous research suggests that corrective exercise interventions with integrated movements improve movement literacy; however, the long-te...
