Evaluating Integrated Soybean Cyst Nematode Management Using Spatially Informed Mixed Models

Evaluating management strategies for soybean cyst nematode (SCN) under field conditions remains challenging because the nematode is spatially aggregated and infests fields that are themselves heterogeneous. When left unmodeled, this structure is absorbed into the residual error a...

Reassessing Effect of Length of Antibiotic Therapy in Post-Surgical Endocarditis (RELAPSE): is extended antibiotic therapy still necessary after surgical intervention?

Infective endocarditis (IE) requiring surgical intervention is a complex condition in which the optimal postoperative antibiotic duration remains uncertain. While current guidelines suggest that antibiotic duration does not need to be extended after cardiac intervention when intr...

Neighborhood Contemporary Redlining and Racial Mortgage Lending Bias and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Women With Breast Cancer

BACKGROUND: Studies have demonstrated neighborhood structural inequities are associated with cardiovascular outcomes among breast cancer survivors. We investigated the associations between bias in mortgage lending practices (contemporary redlining and racial lending bias) and car...

Chemisorbed Oxygen Enables a Bicarbonate-Mediated Pathway for Formic Acid Oxidation on IrO2(110)

Abstract Understanding the mechanisms for formic acid oxidation on transition-metal oxides is essential for designing catalysts with improved activity and resistance to CO poisoning. Here, we investigated how chemisorbed oxygen (Ot) influences formic acid oxidation on IrO2(110) u...

Identifying Research Priorities for the Development of High-Integrity Forest Carbon Credits

Abstract In the United States, voluntary carbon markets have gained significant traction in recent years. However, many offset standards, protocols, and credit ratings have come under scrutiny from the public and investors for failing to produce real or sustainable carbon offsets...

An Updated Evidence Assessment of the Genetic Causes of Dilated Cardiomyopathy

BACKGROUND: Evidence of the diverse genetic architecture of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) continues to emerge and requires reassessment of the clinical relevance of implicated disease genes. Building on the 2019-2020 Clinical Genome Resource evaluation, the DCM gene curation exper...

The Impact of Language Barriers on Latino Parents’ Ability to Support Their Children’s Education at Home

This qualitative study examines how language barriers shape home-based involvement among Spanish-speaking Latino immigrant parents in the U.S. Midwest. Drawing on twelve in-depth interviews conducted in Spanish, the study explores how parents navigate academic support and school...

Queer climate narratives: identity, place, and climate change perceptions among LGBTQ+ undergraduates in Appalachia, USA

The LGBTQ+ community is particularly vulnerable to climate change-induced disasters due to existing marginalization based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. While numerous studies examine LGBTQ+ disaster response and preparedness, research has no...

Psychological distress in adult patients with colorectal cancer: roles of biological age and neighborhood deprivation

Abstract Introduction Depression and anxiety are common in adults with colorectal cancer (CRC), especially during chemotherapy, yet underlying biosocial mechanisms remain unclear. We examined whether biological age predicts these symptoms and whether neighborhood deprivation ampl...

Epistemic Guideposts in K-12 Quantum Physics Instruction: A Design-and-Analysis Construct for Orienting Conceptual Growth and Sensemaking

Quantum physics presents distinctive conceptual and epistemic challenges for K-12 learners, who must make sense of probabilistic models that depart from classical intuitions. This manuscript introduces epistemic guideposts, concise instructional cues designed to orient students t...

Workforce development experiences among older youth and young adults with foster care experience: A qualitative interpretive meta-synthesis

Approximately 19,000 young people age out of foster care annually without achieving permanency in the United States. Young people with foster care experience face disproportionately high rates of unemployment and underemployment, creating barriers to achieving self-sufficiency. U...

Prenatal Water Fluoride Exposure and Children’s Behavioral Problems

Importance Although fluoride exposure at high levels during the perinatal period has been associated with socioemotional problems among children, there is limited evidence regarding potential associations at lower levels of fluoride exposure, particularly in the US. Objective To...

Orthogonal dualities of dynamic stochastic higher spin vertex models, using the Drinfeld twister

Abstract We introduce a new algebraic method to construct duality functions for integrable dynamic models. This method will be implemented on dynamic stochastic higher spin vertex models, where we prove that the resulting duality functions between the dynamic stochastic higher sp...

Factors Influencing Caregiver Anxiety in the Pediatric Emergency Department

OBJECTIVES: This study identified demographic and experiential factors associated with caregiver anxiety in a pediatric emergency department (PED). METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of caregivers for children brought to our PED. Participant anxiety was assessed with...

Explainable Artificial Intelligence in Water Research: Methods, Applications, Insights, and Future Directions

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in water research. However, many AI models, particularly complex machine learning models, often generate outcomes that are difficult for humans to interpret. Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) has been developed to address...

Melt‐Processable Chiral 1D Hybrid Metal Halides With Tunable Excitonic and Circular Dichroism Properties

ABSTRACT Chiral organic–inorganic metal halides (OIMHs) are promising semiconductors for chiroptoelectronic applications, yet scalable solvent‐free melt processing remains challenging because most systems decompose before melting. Here, we report a chiral one‐dimensional (1D) OIM...

Prevalence and Characteristics of Mental Health Interventions Following Pediatric Hospitalization

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: As survival after pediatric critical illness improves, attention has shifted to post-intensive care syndrome and the long-term mental health of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) survivors, who have high rates of posttraumatic stress, anxiety, and dep...

Charting resilience at Rocky Mountain ski areas as winters shrink

Ski resorts across the western U.S. are challenged by global warming, with fewer days of sufficient natural snow during the season and more frequent weather conditions unsuitable for artificial snowmaking early in the season. While this applies to all ski resorts, the magnitude o...

Simultaneous Measurement of Total and Occupied/Free PD-1 on a Single Cell by Mass Cytometry: Development of a Novel Method for Receptor Occupancy Assessment

Receptor occupancy (RO) assays are often used to quantify and characterize the binding profiles of antibody-based therapeutic drugs to target receptors, providing valuable pharmacodynamic insights. Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is a key immune checkpoint that suppresses...

Caring for Young Adults with Breast Cancer: Providers’ Perspectives on Burnout in a Complex Care Landscape

PURPOSE: While challenges faced by young adults (YAs) aged 18-39 years with breast cancer are well-documented, health care providers' experiences caring for YAs are underinvestigated. Given high burnout rates among oncologists, this study explores providers' perspectives about ho...
