Article Synopsis
- - The explosive RDX (hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine) shows both acute and chronic toxicity in mammals, affecting the central nervous system and liver.
- - In a study with male rats, RDX was administered at doses of 0, 9, and 36 mg/kg, and gene expression in the liver, cerebral cortex, and hippocampus was analyzed at various time points to assess toxicity.
- - Results indicated that RDX entered the brain and liver quickly, with significant gene expression changes particularly in the hippocampus, which was most responsive, especially in pathways related to neurotransmission.
Deep learning is transforming the analysis of biological images, but applying these models to large datasets remains challenging. Here we describe the DeepCell Kiosk, cloud-native software that dynamically scales deep learning workflows to accommodate large imaging datasets. To demonstrate the scalability and affordability of this software, we identified cell nuclei in 10 1-megapixel images in ~5.

Levels of lead and copper in air were evaluated during five training activities of a 45-day training course using both stationary general area and breathing zone sampling over a 2-year period. Individual blood lead values were determined prior to and at course completion.
