The Jezero crater floor features a suite of related, iron-rich lavas that were examined and sampled by the Mars 2020 rover Perseverance, and whose textures, minerals, and compositions were characterized by the Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry (PIXL). This suite, known as the Máaz formation (fm), includes dark-toned basaltic/trachy-basaltic rocks with intergrown pyroxene, plagioclase feldspar, and altered olivine and overlying trachy-andesitic lava with reversely zoned plagioclase phenocrysts in a K-rich groundmass. Feldspar thermal disequilibrium textures indicate that they were carried from their crustal staging area.

Methods: Multicenter cohort study of infants with birthweight 401 to 1000 g or gestational age 22 to 28 weeks. LOS was defined as a bacterial or fungal pathogen isolated from blood or cerebrospinal fluid culture obtained after 72 hours of age.
Article Synopsis
- Geostatistical data on drug overdose mortality is often aggregated at larger geographic levels, which can mask significant disparities in urban areas.
- This study focused on Cuyahoga County, Ohio, analyzing drug-related mortality rates at the finer census tract level, revealing that individuals in low-opportunity areas are four times more likely to experience drug-related deaths compared to those in high-opportunity areas.
- The research emphasizes the importance of detailed geographic analysis to uncover variations in drug mortality risk, suggesting that targeting specific communities can enhance public health interventions.
