Cardiovascular Manifestations of Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) has undergone a remarkable transformation from a fatal childhood disease to a chronic adult condition, with a median predicted survival now exceeding 50 years following the introduction of highly effective CFTR modulator therapy (HEMT). This demographic shift...

Unmanned aerial vehicle time‐series phenotyping illuminates genotype‐specific responses to off‐target dicamba exposure in soybean

Abstract Dicamba, a synthetic auxin herbicide, is widely used for postemergence weed control. However, the high potential for volatility and spray drift raises concerns about damage to nontarget dicot crops lacking the dicamba monooxygenase transgene, which provides bioengineered...

Gram-Positive Bacteria Responses to Antibiotics When Incubated in Fecal in Vitro Microcosms from Swine Supplemented with Chlorophyllin

Standardized antimicrobial susceptibility assays use defined culture media and may therefore not fully account for gastrointestinal constituents that influence bacterial responses to antibiotics. This study evaluated whether swine fecal extracts, including extracts associated wit...

Declining Beliefs in Meritocracy? Changes in Americans’ Work Attitudes from Pre to Post COVID-19

This research investigates the temporal changes and individual variabilities in general beliefs in meritocracy in the wake of one the worst social disruptions: the COVID-19 pandemic. Using two panels of the General Social Survey (GSS) from 2018 and 2022, we found that American be...

Are X-Ray Atmospheres Heated by Turbulent Dissipation? XRISM Constraints

Abstract We evaluate whether dissipation of turbulence injected into hot cluster atmospheres by jets and bubbles can offset radiative cooling flows. No trends are found between atmospheric velocity dispersion, σ v , and either the ratio of kinetic to thermal energy or jet power o...

Breeding for productivity and quality: Evidence from Argentina’s INTA rice program

Sustained investment in agricultural research and development (R&D) is critical for productivity growth, food security, and competitiveness; yet, globally, public investment has stagnated relative to the size of the agricultural sector. This study evaluates the production, econom...

Path Analysis with Nonnormal Continuous Data: A Monte Carlo Simulation

The impact of nonnormality on parameter estimates and model-data fit has been extensively evaluated in confirmatory factor analysis models, but comparatively less attention has been given to path models, where nonnormality may occur in different combinations across exogenous, end...

PS2-5. β-defensin, Cytokine, and C-reactive Protein Expression Within Blood in Calves diagnosed with Bovine Respiratory Disease Indicated by Elevated Body Temperature.

Abstract Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) represents a complex disease that entails intricate interactions with the host immune system and is one of the largest sources of financial loss in the U.S cattle industry. An important component of the host immune system is a group of an...

PS12-18. Divergent Prolactin Receptor Genotype Responses in Growth Performance, Feed Efficiency and Feeding Behavior in Beef Calves.

Abstract This study evaluated the effects of divergent prolactin receptor (PRLR) genotypes on feed intake, feeding behavior, feed efficiency, and growth performance in beef calves, with the objective of elucidating the physiological and behavioral mechanisms underlying genotype-a...

94. A Deep Learning Framework to Measure Eyelid Pigmentation Using Two-dimensional Eye Images of Hereford Crossbred Cattle: From Pixels to Patterns.

Abstract Cancer eye and other ocular problems cause significant economic losses to the cattle industry and are preventable through increased eyelid pigmentation (EP). Previously, EP has been measured by visual assessments, which are subjective, labor-intensive, error-prone, and t...

Integrating an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Literacy Feature Into Shared Storybook Reading for Autistic Children Who Need or Rely on AAC

PURPOSE: This study explored the impact of integrating an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) literacy feature (Transition to Literacy [T2L] initial-letter sound feature), adapted to target letter-sound correspondence, within a grid-based AAC topic display on the acc...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring in Spinal Deformity Surgery: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Study Design Systematic review and diagnostic accuracy meta-analysis. Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) for detecting postoperative neurologic deficits in spinal deformity surgery and assess performance across monit...

Evaluating the Use of a Backward Chaining Procedure to Teach Young Autistic Children Multiple Step Requesting Using AAC

Abstract This study evaluated the use of a time delay with a least-to-most prompting hierarchy and backward chaining, in the acquisition of a multi-step mand sequence for three young autistic children, who also use an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) system. The A...

Evaluation of visual guidance techniques for augmented reality-supported assembly tasks in the medical context

Abstract Handling manual assembly tasks is a crucial part of everyday life. Especially with surgical instruments, proficient handling is critical for flawless workflows, efficiency, and overall patient safety. Markerless object pose estimation and augmented reality (AR) visualiza...

When confident eyewitnesses are mistaken: a mixture model account for the confidence-accuracy relationship

An influential claim suggests that highly confident identifications have a very high probability of being accurate when police use scientifically validated best practices for identification procedures. However, there are exceptions. Using simulation data, we demonstrate that when...

Is It Who You Are or What You Do? Gender-Based Occupational Segregation and Pay Inequities in State-Level Public Sector Leadership Positions

Despite decades of equity initiatives, gender-based inequities persist in public-sector leadership. The public sector serves as a sheltered labor market, shielding vulnerable employees from economic discrimination; however, despite this, women in the public sector continue to be...
