Polyethylene tubes obturated flush at one end and 1 mm. short at the opposite end with gutta percha and Grossman's cement as the cementing media were implanted in rat tibias. The gutta-percha, the set Grossman's cement, and the polyethylene implant were well tolerated by the rat intraosseous tissues. There was no significant inflammatory response at either the flush end or the short end of the polyethylene implant.

Introduction: Elacestrant has shown significantly prolonged progression-free survival compared to standard-of-care endocrine therapy in estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive), HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (BC), while potential benefit in early-stage disease requires further exploration. The SOLTI-ELIPSE window-of-opportunity trial investigated the biological changes induced by a short course of preoperative elacestrant in postmenopausal women with early BC.

Methods: Eligible patients with untreated T1c (≥1.

Biologically plausible gated recurrent neural networks for working memory and learning-to-learn.

PLoS One

December 2024

Machine Learning Group, Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The acquisition of knowledge and skills does not occur in isolation but learning experiences amalgamate within and across domains. The process through which learning can accelerate over time is referred to as learning-to-learn or meta-learning. While meta-learning can be implemented in recurrent neural networks, these networks tend to be trained with architectures that are not easily interpretable or mappable to the brain and with learning rules that are biologically implausible.

The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (Jing-Jin-Ji) Region is home to the most acute economic, resource, and environmental conflicts in the Bohai Sea region, and the rivers entering the sea carry abundant total nitrogen (TN) input into the Bohai Bay, which is the main land-based input causing eutrophication of the bay. The Haihe River Basin in the Jing-Jin-Ji Region was divided into 112 (2018-2019) and 187 (2020-2022) control units, and the spatial and temporal variations in TN concentration in the surface water of the Haihe River Basin in the Jing-Jin-Ji Region were systematically analyzed from 2018 to 2022 by combining the Euclidean distance analysis method and the K-means clustering analysis method. The results showed that the annual average concentration of TN in the region showed a trend of decreasing (2018-2020) and then increasing (2021-2022), in which the concentration of TN increased significantly from June 2021 to June 2022.

Infiltration depth, rooting depth, and regolith flushing-A global perspective.

PNAS Nexus

December 2024

CRETUS, Non-Linear Physics Group, Faculty of Physics, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Galicia 15782, Spain.

In the vegetation root zone, infiltration () parts in two directions with distinct Earth-system functions. One goes up as evapotranspiration ( + ), returning to the atmosphere (short-circuiting) and affecting short-term weather/climate and the carbon cycle. The other goes down as deep drainage (), flushing the regolith, mobilizing nutrients/contaminates and dissolved minerals into aquifers and rivers, eventually reaching the ocean (long-circuiting) thus regulating global biogeochemical cycles and long-term climate.

The potential performance of a hypothetical colloidal-activated carbon (CAC) in situ remedy for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) in groundwater in coastal zones was evaluated using estimated hydrogeologic and geochemical parameters for a coastal site in the United States. With these parameters, a reactive transport model (ISR-MT3DMS) was used to assess the effects of tidal fluctuations and near-shore geochemistry on CAC performance. The average near-shore ionic strength of 84 mM at the site was conservatively estimated to result in an increase in the adsorption of PFOA to CAC by about 50% relative to non-coastal sites with ionic strength <10 mM.
