Gravity topography modeling of the Denman Glacier region using a geostatistical approach
The Denman Glacier is one of East Antarctica's most dynamic outlet systems and is modeled to host the deepest continental marine trough, with the potential to contribute up to ∼ 1.5 m of global sea level rise. Yet its bed geometry remains poorly constrained because airborne radar...

Microgreens have rapidly become a relevant topic in horticulture, controlled-environment agriculture, food quality and functional nutrition. Because artificial lighting is a central factor in indoor production, this study updated the scientometric panorama of microgreens research...

Grief in Neurosurgery: Reframing Loss and Identity Through Lived Experience.
Grief is an under-recognized yet pervasive experience in neurosurgery, arising not only from the death of patients and loved ones but also from losses related to professional identity, health, and personal relationships. Despite its relevance, grief is often conflated with burnou...

Big data and psychiatry: advances, constraints and future directions.
Early work in psychiatry research, often involving single sites, small samples, and limited variables, has shifted to contemporary research involving multiple sites, large samples, and many variables. Such research raises important questions, including concerns about data quality...

Hematologic Malignancy Prevalence in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with substantial comorbidity. Evidence regarding the co-occurrence of HS and recorded hematologic malignancy diagnoses in large, diverse electronic health record populations remains limite...

Pinched Arnol’d tongues for families of circle maps
Abstract We prove that generically for a family of circle maps f b , ω ( x ) = x + ω + b ϕ ( x ) with ϕ a piecewise linear forcing with k > 2 breakpoints there is no pinching in any of its Arnol’d tongues. This is in contrast to a theorem of Campbell, Galeeva, Tresser, and Uherka...

To maximize their reproductive success, nematodes not only must arrest their development in response to adverse growth conditions but also must quickly recover if conditions improve. However, the molecular signals that coordinate these transitions remain poorly understood. Here,...

Abstract Cognitive control supports flexible goal maintenance and conflict resolution. Although bilingual experience has been proposed to enhance its efficiency through sustained language control, emerging evidence suggests these effects reflect adaptive recalibration driven by i...

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...

Examining depredation of reef fish on descender devices across the Gulf of Mexico
Abstract Objective We partnered with the charter-for-hire fishing fleet to document depredation rates of fish on descender devices across the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and identify the species responsible for depredation. Methods Two types of data were collected: (1) underwater video...

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of concentrate supplementation levels and delivery strategy on the growth performance of early-weaned beef calves grazing annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum). Three experiments were conducted at the UF/IFAS Range C...

We study the bifurcation structure of a class of SIRS epidemic models with a nonlinear incidence rate of the form k I p S 1 + ω I q , where the exponents p and q are treated as general parameters. By reducing the model to a planar S - I system, we analyze the existence and degene...

How Accurately Can We Describe Spin Crossover?
Abstract The complicated physicochemical properties of metal complexes that exhibit thermal spin crossover make it difficult for routine electronic structure calculations to yield an accurate transition temperature prediction, T1/2. The difficulty lies in the intricate connection...

Genetic gains of oat (Avena sativa L.) grain yield have been historically low compared to other major cereal crops. The use of machine learning models to capture complex interactions and leveraging data types other than genomic information in prediction models has great potential...

Respiratory insufficiency is the leading cause of mortality after spinal cord injury, yet current pacing strategies override brainstem rhythm generators, limiting adaptability and rehabilitation. Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord in the locomotor system enables volitional...

Abstract This 2-year study evaluated the effects of Bacillus-based direct-fed microbial (DFM) supplementation on fecal and vaginal microbiomes, growth, and reproduction of beef heifers. On day 0 (30 days after weaning), Brangus crossbred beef heifers (n = 64 per year) were strati...

The phloem-colonizing bacterial pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) causes the devastating citrus Huanglongbing (HLB). Despite the important roles of roots, how CLas affects roots remains largely unknown. Here we dissected host responses in leaf and root at differen...

Deployment-oriented benchmark for automated UAV-based facade defect detection
Integrating computer vision with UAVs can automate parts of building facade inspection while reducing labor and access risks. Applying UAV-based defect detection to regional multi-building screening, however, requires planning of coverage-derived data construction, task definitio...
