Optical soliton perturbation with complex ginzburg-landau equation having multiplicative white noise and nine forms of self-phase modulation structures.

This paper investigates new optical soliton solutions to the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in the presence of white noise, a fundamental model in nonlinear optics that describes soliton dynamics. The study focuses on nine distinct forms of self-phase modulation structures, each exhibiting unique nonlinear characteristics and dispersion properties. To derive the soliton solutions, the generalized -expansion approach is employed, which is known for its effectiveness in handling nonlinear differential equations and extracting exact solutions systematically.

Climate change and the global food chain: a catalyst for emerging infectious diseases?

Background: Climate change is disrupting the global food chain, affecting food production, delivery and safety. Extreme weather events disrupt the quality of food and water, while rising temperatures accelerate the spread of microbes. Habitat destruction also forces wildlife in close proximity to people, increasing the risk of zoonotic diseases.

Haploblocks contribute to parallel climate adaptation following global invasion of a cosmopolitan plant.

The role of rapid adaptation during species invasions has historically been minimized with the assumption that introductions consist of few colonists and limited genetic diversity. While overwhelming evidence suggests that rapid adaptation is more prevalent than originally assumed, the demographic and adaptive processes underlying successful invasions remain unresolved. Here we leverage a large whole-genome sequence dataset to investigate the relative roles of colonization history and adaptation during the worldwide invasion of the forage crop, Trifolium repens (Fabaceae).

Collaborative research efforts benefit both Primarily Undergraduate Institution faculty and students and a biotechnology company in reproducibility project.

Undergraduate students often have limited access to industry-focused research opportunities. To address this, faculty and students from 10 primarily undergraduate institutions collaborated with Sampling Human, a biotechnology company, to test a biocytometry workflow for single-cell analysis. The project engaged 15 students with varying levels of research experience and demonstrated that prior research expertise was not essential for successfully using the workflow.

Bayesian neural networks for probabilistic modeling of thermal dynamics in multiscale tissue engineering scaffolds.

Multiscale tissue engineering integrated with thermal dynamics exhibits a critical role as scaffolds in maintaining the structural integrity and functionality in fabrication applications. Thermal dynamics influence the properties such as thermal conductivity, the capacity of heat, and thermal expansion of materials to maintain the scaffold stability in various physiological conditions. However, the scaffold's heat distribution in a uniform manner is varied due to variations in pore size and geometrics.

A novel reindeer cyclone optimization algorithm (RCOA).

This paper introduces the Reindeer Cyclone Optimization Algorithm (RCOA), a novel metaheuristic optimization technique inspired by the survival behavior of reindeer during predator attacks in formation cyclonic storms. RCOA imitates the defense-centric cooperative behavior of reindeer, where individuals cluster together to withstand external threats. This behavior is analogous to the optimization process where exploration (global search for exploring new areas) and exploitation (local refinement to copy or learn from neighbor in cyclonic form) are carefully balanced.

Unraveling the Hsp70-ROS-autophagy axis in pentachlorophenol-challenged lung and liver epithelial cells.

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) was extensively utilized as an organochlorine pesticide and wood preservative in the United States from the 1930s until the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) imposed restrictions due to concerns about its toxicity and potential carcinogenic properties. Although it is no longer widely used, PCP remains a concern due to its environmental persistence and potential for long-term health effects. Significant occupational and environmental exposures have likely occurred, with the health and economic costs of PCP exposure potentially being substantial given its known toxicity.

Evolution of drought resistance strategies following the introduction of white clover (Trifolium repens L.).

Background And Aims: Success during colonization is likely to depend on growing quickly and tolerating novel and stressful environmental conditions. However, rapid growth, stress avoidance and stress tolerance are generally considered divergent physiological strategies.

Fab five: pioneering sociocultural influence within the culture of basketball and American society.

Dating back to when the inventor of the game, James Naismith, developed a mentoring relationship with John McClendon one of the African American pioneers in basketball (founder of the "fast-break"), there are countless examples of these intersections. Entering the college basketball culture as the most decorated recruiting class in National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball history, the University of Michigan Fab Five's legacy catalyzes a new era of American basketball culture. Gracefully talented, the Fab Five abruptly disrupted the institution of basketball, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and the identity of basketball athletes globally.

Intranasal Delivery of Cell-Penetrating Therapeutic Peptide Enhances Brain Delivery, Reduces Inflammation, and Improves Neurologic Function in Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury.

Following traumatic brain injury (TBI), secondary brain damage due to chronic inflammation is the most predominant cause of the delayed onset of mood and memory disorders. Currently no therapeutic approach is available to effectively mitigate secondary brain injury after TBI. One reason is the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which prevents the passage of most therapeutic agents into the brain.

Design of a randomized controlled trial to assess the comparative effectiveness of a multifaceted intervention to improve three-year adherence to colorectal cancer screening among patients cared for in rural community health centers.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening has been shown to decrease CRC mortality, yet significant disparities persist among those living in rural areas, from minority backgrounds, and those having low income. The purpose of this two-arm randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness and fidelity of a stepped care (increasing intensity as needed) approach to promoting 3-year adherence to CRC screening via fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) or colonoscopy in rural community clinics serving high rates of low-income and minority patients. We hypothesize that, compared to enhanced usual care (EUC), patients receiving the multifaceted CRC screening intervention will demonstrate higher rates of CRC screening completion over 3 years.

We excluded carotenoids as a possible chromophore and showed that the pigment most closely resembles pterins.

Characterization of metabolic responses, genetic variations, and microsatellite instability in ammonia-stressed CHO cells grown in fed-batch cultures.

Background: As bioprocess intensification has increased over the last 30 years, yields from mammalian cell processes have increased from 10's of milligrams to over 10's of grams per liter. Most of these gains in productivity can be attributed to increasing cell densities within bioreactors. As such, strategies have been developed to minimize accumulation of metabolic wastes, such as lactate and ammonia.

Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange in Basic Near-Critical and Supercritical Media: An Experimental and Theoretical Study.

Treatment of homo- and heterocyclic aromatic substrates with basic deuterium oxide under near- or supercritical conditions results in rapid base-catalyzed hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDE) in aromatic and benzylic positions. It has been postulated that HDE follows a simple deprotonation-reprotonation mechanism, but little evidence has been provided to date. This study correlates experimentally observed proton exchanges in -butylbenzene with calculations of the acidities and potential energy (PE) profiles.
