Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a prevalent problem with survivors suffering from chronic cognitive impairments. Following TBI there is a series of neuropathological changes including neurogenesis. It is well established that neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus is important for hippocampal dependent learning and memory functions.

Article Synopsis
  • * Annual CH fluxes averaged around 26g CH/m²/year; the highest emissions were linked with certain temperature and salinity conditions, particularly in fresh-oligohaline marshes.
  • * The research found that salinity was the main factor affecting annual CH fluxes, while temperature, gross primary productivity, and tidal height influenced shorter-term variability, providing crucial data for better estimating methane emissions in these ecosystems.

Coastal salt marshes are depositional environments that can accumulate pollutants introduced to the environment from human activities. Metals are a contaminant of concern in coastal environments due to their longevity and toxicity. We assessed metal concentrations and accumulation rates in nine salt marsh sites along the U.

Unlabelled: Hydrophobicity plays a pivotal role in mitigating surface fouling, corrosion, and icing in critical marine and aerospace environments. By employing ultrafast laser texturing, the characteristic properties of a material's surface can be modified. This work investigates the potential of an advanced ultrafast laser texturing manufacturing process to enhance the hydrophobicity of aluminium alloy 7075.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a life-threatening condition. Given the nature of the disease and associated complications with high mortality and morbidity rates, it is imperative that patients are diagnosed in early infancy, are established with specialists and general pediatric care immediately, and receive continuity in care. A percentage of patients diagnosed with SCD fall within a vulnerable, at-risk population.
