Investigating human impacts on rocky reefs using measures of complexity and relief from 3D photogrammetry
Authors: Wright Jessica , Chamberlain Jon 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThe structural complexity of a habitat is linked with the health and biodiversity of the ecosystem. Computational methods analyzing 3D representations of the environment allow for accurate measurement; however, rocky reef environments that feature gullies, arches, stacks, and ledges may be inaccurately represented using standard measures of complexity. This article presents a novel assessment of structural complexity through relief calculated from 3D reconstructions of marine environments, tailored for rocky reefs with vertical features. This method is tested in two case studies: a tropical coral reef in Indonesia and a rocky (chalk) reef in the United Kingdom. Chalk reef relief was not correlated with vector dispersion or fractal dimension and was weakly correlated with rugosity (); however, in two comparison tropical reef datasets, relief correlated moderately with vector dispersion on both coral reefs () and moderately‐strongly with rugosity (). On the chalk reef, tailored complexity metrics confirmed the previous finding that catch‐size Cancer pagurus abundance (≥115 mm) was correlated with fractal dimension (), indicating that adults preferred elevated, complex reefs. Analysis showed correlations between relief and low‐severity chalk damage () and between relief and abrasion damage (), whereas previous research had indicated that damage was not correlated with complexity (assessed computationally with rugosity, fractal dimension, and vector dispersion). Surveying marine environments with multicamera arrays and 3D photogrammetry can drastically reduce the time and cost of fieldwork surveys and provide accurate measures of complexity across survey sites. Adapting complexity metrics to habitat‐specific topography provides valuable insight (in this case, into rocky reef marine habitats). Findings from the UK case study support the continued monitoring of the Cromer Shoal Chalk Bed Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ).

AbstractDr. Hood was the first culturally responsive evaluation oral historian. For justice, culture, and equity to be mainstreamed, he understood that these concepts must be conveyed in multiple formats, settings, and arenas. He authentically brought what had been in the minds, hearts, tongues, and work of many before him to the written word—he expanded and authenticated history. We, the volume editors, have taken a cue from Dr. Hood's astute observations about the nature of history. As such, we connect CRE's past, present, and future and set the stage for this volume by sharing a living history and sentiments as told by contemporary CRE scholars.
Impact of managing yellow rust (Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici) by the use of fungicide sprays and resistant varieties on the physiochemical qualities of bread wheat

Published: February 2024

AbstractYellow rust disease caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is one of the major threats to wheat production in Ethiopia. In this paper, the impact of yellow rust on the physical qualities of bread wheat was studied. For this purpose, combinations of four bread wheat varieties (Digalu, Hidase, Danda'a, and Honkolo) and two fungicides (Nativo SC 300 and Tilt® 250E.C.) were tested at two different hotspot areas (Albazar and Alicho) in the Silte Zone, Southern Ethiopia, under natural epidemics of the disease during the 2018 growing season. A randomized complete block design in factorial arrangement with three replications was used to set up the experiment. A significant (p < .01) increase in hectoliters weight and wet gluten content were observed due to the application of Nativo SC 300; however, grain protein content did not respond significantly (p > .01) at both locations. Wheat varieties with high yellow rust severity exhibited maximum values of area under the disease progress curve and physical quality loss percentage (%). The highly susceptible wheat variety Digalu exhibited the highest values of hectoliter weight losses (%), and the actual losses ranged from 5.5% to 29.5%. Except for grain protein content, there was a significant negative correlation between the values of terminal rust severity, average coefficient infection, and area under the disease progress curve and that of hectoliters weight and wet gluten content, with correlation coefficients ranging from −0.85** to −0.33**. It is possible to improve the physiochemical properties of bread wheat through the application of foliar fungicides by selecting the appropriate genotypes that have an acceptable level of resistance to yellow rust.

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe phenomenon known as the “identifiable victim effect” describes how individuals tend to offer more assistance to victims they can identify with than to those who are vague or abstract. The neural underpinnings of this effect, however, remain elusive. Our study utilized functional magnetic resonance imaging to delve into how the “identifiable victim effect” influences prosocial decision‐making, considering different types of helping costs, across two distinct tasks. Participants were instructed to decide whether to help a victim with personal information shown (i.e., the identifiable victim) and an unidentifiable one by costing their money (task 1) or physical effort (task 2). Behaviorally, we observed a pronounced preference in both tasks for aiding identifiable victims over anonymous ones, highlighting a robust “identifiable victim effect.” On a neural level, this effect was associated with heightened activity in brain areas like the bilateral temporoparietal junction (TPJ) when participants confronted anonymous victims, potentially indicating a more intensive mentalizing process for less concrete victims. Additionally, we noted that the TPJ's influence on value judgment processes is mediated through its functional connectivity with the medial prefrontal cortex. These insights contribute significantly to our understanding of the psychological and neural dynamics underlying the identifiable victim effect.

Published: February 2024

AbstractFunctionalized cubanes are attractive scaffolds for medicinal chemists as they are bioisosteres of benzene rings. The replacement of a benzene ring by a cubane, in a bioactive compound, can have a beneficial effect on the biological activity of such compound. Thus, the design of new molecular cubyl building blocks is of importance. In this review, we will focus on the functionalization of cubanes by creating C−C, C−heteroatom bonds e. g. C−N, C−O, C−B, C−P and C−S bonds. Different methods are reported involving organometallics, radicals, and ionic species. Mechanisms are included when relevant.

Published: February 2024

AbstractOver the last decade, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have drawn extensive attention owing to their high power conversion efficiency (single junction: 26.1%, perovskite/silicon tandem: 33.9%) and low fabrication cost. However, the short lifespan of PSCs with initial efficiency still blocks their practical applications. This operational instability may originate from the intrinsic and extrinsic degradation of materials or devices. Although the lifetime of PSCs has been prolonged through component, crystal, defect, interface, encapsulation engineering, and so on, the systematic analysis of failure regularity for PSCs from the perspective of materials and devices against multiple operating stressors is indispensable. In this review, we start with elaboration of the predominant degradation pathways and mechanism for PSCs under working stressors. Then the strategies for improving long‐term durability with respect to fundamental materials, interface designs, and device encapsulation have been summarized. Meanwhile, the key results have been discussed to understand the limitation of assessing PSCs stability, and the potential applications in indoor photovoltaics and wearable electronics are demonstrated. Finally, promising proposals, encompassing material processing, film formation, interface strengthening, structure designing, and device encapsulation, are provided to improve the operational stability of PSCs and promote their commercialization.image

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe objective of this study was to investigate brain activation and functional network patterns during musical interventions in different frequency bands using functional near‐infrared spectroscopy, and to provide a basis for more effective music therapy strategy selection for patients in minimally conscious state (MCS). Twenty six MCS patients and 20 healthy people were given music intervention with low frequency (31–180 Hz), medium frequency (180–4k Hz), and high frequency (4k–22k Hz) audio. In MCS patients, low frequency music intervention induced activation of left prefrontal cortex and left primary sensory cortex (S1), also a left‐hemisphere lateralization effect of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). And the functional connectivity of right DLPFC‐right S1 was significantly improved by high frequency music intervention. The low frequency and high frequency music may contribute more than medium frequency music to the recovery of consciousness. This study also validated the effectiveness of fNIRS in studies of brain function in MCS patients.

AbstractThe article investigates how the devastating repercussions of fraud allegations, as outlined in the Hindenburg report, are actively and critically affecting the stock prices of the Adani Group. This investigation, which explores the foundation of the accused companies' financial health and market trust, is crucial. These ramifications go far beyond Adani Group and are highly relevant to potential investors globally, highlighting the urgent need for a thorough comprehension of these dynamics in the context of the global market environment. The journey from stock market crash to market correction is analyzed using the theoretical lens of Risk Aversion theory. At the same time, the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) assumptions are being tested. The study employs a long‐term event study approach to analyze the stock price impact of the Hindenburg report using the Cumulative Abnormal Returns (CAR) methodology. For analysis, a sample of six Adani group companies and relevant stakeholders like creditors, LIC, immediate counterparts of each company, and NIFTY bank indices are considered. The study finds that the stock prices of four out of six Adani Group companies declined significantly after the Hindenburg report, defying the assumptions of the EMH. Risk‐seeking investors' regulatory assurance and investment may have helped in a market correction. The associated banks (lenders to Adani) and Banking indices depicted a price decline on the second and third days, which reversed on the fourth day, indicating a diminished spillover effect. Moreover, no competitor besides Tata Power saw abnormally large gains. This study analyses the event from the lens of Risk aversion and tests the assumption of EMH. The study concludes that these findings have practical implications for investors (risk‐averse and risk‐seeking), policymakers, and researchers.

AbstractBackgroundTriple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents the most aggressive form of breast cancer. While the involvement of long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) in the progression of TNBC has been demonstrated, the role of Lnc00113 in TNBC remains unexplored. We aimed to explore the function of Lnc00113 in TNBC.MethodsExpression levels and the clinical significance of Lnc00113 were assessed in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The expression levels of Lnc00113 in TNBC tissues and cell lines were examined using qRT‐PCR (quantitative Real‐Time Polymerase chain reaction). The proliferation, apoptosis and invasion abilities were evaluated using CCK‐8 (Cell Counting Kit‐8), EdU (5‐Ethynyl‐2'‐deoxyuridine), apoptosis and transwell assays following Lnc00113 knockdown/overexpression. Dual‐luciferase and fluorescence in situ hybridization assays were employed to detect the correlation between Lnc00113, miR‐107 and Nin‐one binding protein (NOB‐1).ResultsWe identified significant upregulation of Lnc00113 in TNBC tissues and cell lines, with high Lnc00113 expression correlating with advanced pathological staging and poorer prognosis in the TCGA database. Functional assessments through knockdown/overexpression experiments revealed that Lnc00113 promoted TNBC cell proliferation, apoptosis and invasion. Fluorescence in situ hybridization experiments showed cytoplasmic localization of both Lnc00113 and NOB‐1. Dual‐luciferase assays demonstrated direct binding between Lnc00113 and miR‐107, while miR‐107 directly interacted with NOB‐1. Mechanistically, our findings indicated that Lnc00113 promotes TNBC progression through the miR‐107/NOB‐1/MAPK signaling axis.ConclusionLnc00113 emerges as a potential driver of TNBC growth and progression through modulation of the NOB‐1/MAPK signaling axis, providing insights into diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for TNBC.
The Minimum Admissible Detuning Efficiency of MRI Receive‐Only Surface Coils

Published: February 2024

BackgroundThe minimum admissible detuning efficiency (DE) of a receive coil is an essential parameter for coil designers. A receive coil with inefficient detuning leads to inhomogeneous B1 during excitation. Previously proposed criteria for quantifying the DE rely on indirect measurements and are difficult to implement.PurposeTo present an alternative method to quantify the DE of receive‐only surface coils.Study TypeTheoretical study supported by simulations and phantom experiments.PhantomsUniform spherical (100 mm diameter) and cylindrical (66 mm diameter) phantoms.Field Strength/SequenceDual repetition time B1 mapping sequence at 1.5T, and Bloch‐Siegert shift B1 mapping sequence at 3.0T.AssessmentOne non‐planar (80 × 43 mm2) and two planar (40 and 57 mm diameter) surface coils were built. Theoretical analysis was performed to determine the minimum DE required to avoid B1 distortions. Experimental B1 maps were acquired for the non‐planar and planar surface coils at both 1.5T and 3.0T and visually compared with simulated B1 maps to assess the validity of the theoretical analysis.Statistical TestsNone.ResultsBased on the theoretical analysis, the proposed minimum admissible DE, defined as DEthr = 20 Log (Q) + 13 dB, depended only on the quality factor (Q) of the coil and was independent of coil area and field strength. Simulations and phantom experiments showed that when the DE was higher than this minimum threshold level, the B1 field generated by the transmission coil was not modified by the receive coil.Data ConclusionThe proposed criterion for assessing the DE is simple to measure, and does not depend on the area of the coil or on the magnetic field strength, up to 3T. Experimental and simulated B1 maps confirmed that detuning efficiencies above the theoretically derived minimal admissible DE resulted in a non‐distorted B1 field.Evidence Level2Technical EfficacyStage 1

AbstractPrimary Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) infection occasionally causes EBV‐infectious mononucleosis (EBV‐IM) and EBV‐hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (EBV‐HLH). Although EBV‐IM is mostly mild and self‐limiting, EBV‐HLH is a life‐threatening disease characterized by excessive immune activation. However, the pathogenesis of EBV‐HLH is yet to be fully elucidated. A diagnostic biomarker for EBV‐HLH is desirable because early diagnosis and treatment are critical for the effective management of patients. In this study, the proteomic profiling of plasma was performed using liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry to identify proteins specific to EBV‐IM and EBV‐HLH. Furthermore, pathway analysis was performed for the proteins upregulated in patients with EBV‐IM and EBV‐HLH. Compared to healthy controls, 63 and 18 proteins were upregulated in patients with EBV‐IM and EBV‐HLH, respectively. Pathway and process enrichment analyses revealed that the complement system was the most enriched category of upregulated proteins in EBV‐IM, whereas proteins related to immune effector processes were the most enriched in EBV‐HLH. Among the 18 proteins upregulated in EBV‐HLH, seven were exclusive to EBV‐HLH. These specific proteins were associated with three pathways, and apolipoprotein E was commonly found in all the pathways. Proteomic analysis may provide new insights into the host response to EBV infection and the pathogenesis of EBV‐related diseases.

AbstractPersistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection can lead to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer, posing serious threats to the health of women. Although the cervicovaginal microbiota is strongly associated with CIN, the dynamics of the microbiota during CIN development are unknown. In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 3‐year longitudinal data from 72 patients diagnosed with a persistent HPV infection almost all caused by high‐risk HPV types. Patients were categorized into groups with HPV persistent infection (n = 37), progression to CIN (n = 16), and CIN regression (n = 19) based on infection outcome during the follow‐up period. Furthermore, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed on consecutively collected cervical samples to explore the composition and dynamics of the cervicovaginal microbiota during the development and regression of CIN. Our results showed that the composition of the cervicovaginal microbiota varied among women with different HPV infection outcomes and remained relatively stable during the follow‐up period. Notably, the serial follow‐up data showed that these microbial alterations were present for at least 1–2 years and occurred before pathologic changes. In addition, microbial markers that were highly discriminatory for CIN progression or regression were identified. This study provides evidence for a temporal relationship between changes in the cervicovaginal microbiota and the development of CIN, and our findings provide support for future microbial intervention strategies for CIN.

AbstractObjectivesPerforation of esophagus or stomach is a potential complication during and after insertion of a gastric tube in neonates. The aim of this study was to analyze different types of gastric tubes in a three‐dimensional (3D) model of neonatal esophagus and stomach regarding potential perforations.MethodsA 3D model of esophagus and stomach was created based on computed tomography data of a term neonate. Three types of gastric tubes were inserted into the 3D model, the localization was examined by radioscopy and the behavior, stiffness and manageability of each gastric tube was evaluated.ResultsInsertion of gastric tubes with higher stiffness was easier. The rates of correct localization differed significantly between the gastric tubes with the highest rate of correct localization in the softest tube (48.5%) and the lowest rate in the tube with the highest stiffness (21.2%). Additionally, the softest tube showed the lowest rate of localization of its tip at the stomach wall.ConclusionsThe study illustrates differences between various types of gastric tubes regarding stiffness, behavior and resiliency. Softer gastric tubes may be beneficial. These differences may be relevant in neonatal care of very immature and very sick infants.
At the Intersection of Science and Education: The Process of Scientists and Educators Co‐developing Authentic Learning Experiences for K‐16 Students

Published: February 2024

AbstractStudents lose interest in science as they progress from elementary to high school. There is a need for authentic, place‐based science learning experiences that can increase students' interest in science. Scientists have unique skillsets that can complement the work of educators to create exciting experiences that are grounded in pedagogy and science practices. As scientists and educators, we co‐developed a lesson plan for high school students on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, a historically underserved coastal area, that demonstrated realistic scientific practices in students' local estuaries. After implementation of the lesson plan, we observed that students had a deeper understanding of ecosystem processes compared to their peers who had not been involved, were enthusiastic about sharing their experiences, and had a more well‐rounded ability to think like a scientist than before the lesson plan. We share our experiences and five best practices that can serve as a framework for scientists and educators who are motivated to do similar work. Through collaboration, scientists and educators have the potential to bolster student science identities and increase student participation in future scientific endeavors.
