A study was conducted to consider the implications of presenting Environmental Information (EI; information on current environmental features including weather, topography and visibility maps) for military planning to the growing audience of non-technical users; to provide guidance for ensuring usability and for development of a suitable EI interface, and to produce an EI concept interface mock-up to demonstrate initial design ideas. Knowledge was elicited from current EI users and providers regarding anticipated use of EI by non-specialists. This was combined with human factors and cognition expertise to produce guidance for data usability and development of an EI interface. A simple mock-up of an EI concept interface was developed. Recommendations for further development were made including application of the guidance derived, identification of a user test-bed and development of business processes.

Background: Working conditions and contexts may influence the development of Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD), exposing individuals to modifiable risk factors across their life. Measurement of ADRD pathology at autopsy provides a gold standard outcome for evaluating the effects of lifetime exposures, but approaches to quantify ante-mortem work exposures are limited. Here we describe a new method to retrospectively capture occupational histories by systematically extracting occupational information using archival public records- i.

Background And Purpose: Diffuse gliomas, a heterogeneous group of primary brain tumors, have traditionally been stratified by histology, but recent insights into their molecular features, especially the mutation status, have fundamentally changed their classification and prognosis. Current diagnostic methods, still predominantly relying on invasive biopsy, necessitate the exploration of noninvasive imaging alternatives for glioma characterization.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective study, we investigated the utility of the spherical mean technique (SMT) in predicting the status and histologic grade of adult-type diffuse gliomas.

Researchers have begun to explore factors that might promote better adjustment following exposure to traumatic events, including the extent to which individuals have a strong sense of meaning in their lives. Given that studies have shown the potential benefits of cultivating meaning in alleviating posttraumatic stress reactions, it is important to pinpoint specific aspects of meaning that may better inform individualized trauma-focused treatments. One aspect of meaning that may be particularly relevant to trauma survivors is reflected in perceptions of purpose in life.

Boron carbide (BC) is an essential material in various high-performance applications due to its light weight and hardness. In this work, BC-based composites were fabricated via a powder route consisting of powder mixing, precursor preparation, and hot-pressing under vacuum. The composites' mechanical properties and microstructure were analyzed to investigate the effect of adding minor second-phase particles.
