Secondary transport mechanisms in amino acid fed enhanced biological phosphorus removal.

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) often fail to meet phosphorus discharge permit limits, indicating a need to improve EBPR to reduce environmental phosphorus discharges. EBPR designs are largely based on the Accumulibacter polyphosphate accumulating organism (PAO) metabolism, while understudied Tetrasphaera PAOs are equally important to EBPR in many facilities worldwide. Anaerobic organic carbon competition is believed to be a key driver of EBPR reliability.

The potential of interleaved TMS-fMRI for linking stimulation-induced changes in task-related activity with behavioral modulations.

The simultaneous combination of TMS with fMRI has emerged as a promising means to investigate the direct interaction between stimulation-induced changes at the behavioral and neural activity level. This enables the investigation of whole brain neurobehavioral interactions underlying cognitive disruption or facilitation. Yet to date, the literature on interleaved TMS-fMRI in cognitive neuroscience is sparse and neuromodulatory patterns of different TMS protocols are still poorly understood.

The impact of ROI extraction method for MEG connectivity estimation: practical recommendations for the study of resting state data.

Magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography (M/EEG) seed-based connectivity analysis requires the extraction of measures from regions of interest (ROI). M/EEG ROI-derived source activity can be treated in different ways. It is possible, for instance, to average each ROI's time series prior to calculating connectivity measures.
