Predicting recreational water quality and public health safety in urban estuaries using Bayesian Networks.

To support the reactivation of urban rivers and estuaries for bathing while ensuring public safety, it is critical to have access to real-time information on microbial water quality and associated health risks. Predictive modelling can provide this information, though challenges concerning the optimal size of training data, model transferability, and communication of uncertainty still need attention. Further, urban estuaries undergo distinctive hydrological variations requiring tailored modelling approaches.

Brain uptake of diazepam and phenytoin in a genetic animal model of absence epilepsy.

1. Although many studies have assessed changes to brain uptake of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) in chemically and electrically induced seizure models, there are limited data available on changes to brain uptake of AEDs in spontaneous seizure animal models, such as genetic absence epilepsy. 2.
