Article Abstract

Longitudinal data are essential to research in criminology and criminal justice. Despite attrition's implications for validity, understanding its sources is underexplored empirically. We examine the correlates of retention using covariates organized into domains of prediction, prevention, and projection. Data from the LoneStar Project, a three-wave longitudinal reentry study of 802 males recently released from prisoners in Texas, were analyzed to examine the correlates of proximal, distal, and any study retention. The best correlates of study retention are prevention techniques used by researchers to reduce attrition. In contrast, only a few covariates traditionally associated with attrition and no covariates used for attrition projection were related to retention. What researchers do matters more for retention than the characteristics of individuals they are trying to retain. The findings underscore how researchers can improve study retention in longitudinal research while also correcting for non-random attrition in current longitudinal data sources.

Ether-based electrolytes are widely acknowledged for their potential to form stable solid electrolyte interfaces (SEIs) for stable anode performance. However, conventional ether-based electrolytes have shown a tendency for cation-solvent co-intercalation phenomena on graphite electrodes, resulting in lower capacity and higher voltage platforms compared to those of neat cation insertion in ester-based electrolytes. In response, we propose the development of weakly solvating ether solvents to weaken the interaction between cations and solvents, thereby suppressing co-intercalation behavior.

Background/objective: Manual dexterity is critical for maintaining functional independence and quality of life in older adults, yet limited research has explored training interventions to enhance this skill. This study examined the effect of rhythmic gymnastics (RG) exercise programs, with and without apparatus, on the manual dexterity of older women.

Methods: Seventy-six women, aged over 65 (68.

Background: Glutamine is an important metabolic substrate in many aggressive tumors, with comparable importance to glucose metabolism. Utilizing human breast cancer mouse xenograft models, we studied the kinetics of the PET imaging agent, L-5-[C]-glutamine ([C]glutamine or [C]GLN) a biochemical authentic substrate for glutamine metabolism, to further characterize the metabolism of glutamine and downstream labeled metabolites. Studies were performed with and without inhibition of the enzyme, glutaminase (GLS), the first step in glutamine catabolism that generates glutamate, and key target for therapy directed to glutamine-metabolizing cancers.

Purpose: Ketogenic diet therapy (KDT) has been successfully used as an effective management option for drug resistant epilepsy (DRE) since the 1920 s. The ketogenic formulation studied here (KetoCal) is nutritionally complete, very high in fat, and low in carbohydrates and has played a crucial role in supporting the implementation of KDT for over twenty-five years. This scoping review aims to synthesise the existing literature regarding the safety, acceptability, and efficacy of the ketogenic formulation in supporting the management of DRE.

Delta under pressure: A holistic assessment of morphodynamic change in the Indian Sundarbans from 1972 to 2025.

The Indian Sundarban Delta (ISD), located at the confluence of the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna river system along India's eastern coast, is among the world's most geomorphologically dynamic and environmentally vulnerable deltaic systems. Over the past five decades, the region has undergone substantial morphodynamic changes driven by natural forces such as relative sea-level rise, wave action, and sediment flux, as well as anthropogenic factors like upstream water regulation via dams and barrages. This study examines the long-term evolution of shoreline and island morphology across the ISD from 1972 to 2025 using multi-temporal Landsat datasets under consistent tidal conditions.
