Nerve-associated macrophages control adipose homeostasis across lifespan and restrain age-related inflammation.

Age-related inflammation or inflammaging is a key mechanism that increases disease burden and may control lifespan. How adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) control inflammaging is not well understood in part because the molecular identities of niche-specific ATMs are incompletely known. Using intravascular labeling to exclude circulating myeloid cells and subsequent single-cell sequencing with orthogonal validation, we define the diversity and alterations in niche resident ATMs through lifespan.

Dual-Biometric Human Identification Using Radar Deep Transfer Learning.

Accurate human identification using radar has a variety of potential applications, such as surveillance, access control and security checkpoints. Nevertheless, radar-based human identification has been limited to a few motion-based biometrics that are solely reliant on micro-Doppler signatures. This paper proposes for the first time the use of combined radar-based heart sound and gait signals as biometrics for human identification.

Test-retest Reliability of the qReading Method in Normally Sighted Young Adults.

Significance: We recently developed a novel Bayesian adaptive method, qReading, to measure reading function. The qReading method has both the efficiency and excellent test-retest reliability in normally sighted young adults to make it an excellent candidate for future studies of its value in diagnosis and longitudinal evaluation of treatment and/or rehabilitation outcomes.

Purpose: A novel Bayesian adaptive method, qReading, was recently developed to measure reading function.

Characterisation of sperm production and morphology in the male Philippine crocodile via voluntary behavioural training.

Philippine crocodiles Crocodylus mindorensis are critically endangered due to agricultural and fishing threats that have severely fragmented their habitat and population in the Philippines. Captive management plans are important to safeguard against their extinction, but the current population in US zoos is small, and breeding is hampered by the slow growth of this species and the danger of introducing differently sized animals for breeding. There is little information regarding the sperm characteristics of crocodilians, and none for Philippine crocodiles.

Assessing reading performance in the periphery with a Bayesian adaptive approach: The qReading method.

Reading is a crucial visual activity and a fundamental skill in daily life. Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) is a text-presentation paradigm that has been extensively used in the laboratory to study basic characteristics of reading performance. However, measuring reading function (reading speed vs.
