Cascading Erosion in the Tide‐Dominated Changjiang Delta: A Novel Radionuclide Approach
Authors: Wu Yijing , Fan Daidu , Su Jianfeng 
Published: February 2025

AbstractNearshore erosion is well‐documented in sediment‐deficit river deltas but remains less understood beyond their delta front (DF), particularly its extension to the deeper prodelta (PD) and distal mud (DM). This study investigates the response of Changjiang subaqueous delta and its DM to sediment decline following the 2003 closure of the Three Gorges Dam. By analyzing temporal and spatial variations in 210Pbex profile styles, discrepancies between 210Pb and 137Cs sediment accumulation rates, and surface sediment grain sizes, we identified the onset of erosion at the DF shortly after 2003, which spread to the PD by 2009 and reached the northern DM by 2015. By tracking the burial depths of the 1963 137Cs peak, we found progressively lower erosion rates in newly eroded subzones primarily due to sediment redistribution. This study, leveraging historical radionuclides data, offers a valuable approach for monitoring erosion in areas lacking remote sensing detection and historical bathymetric data.
Water/Methane Two‐Phase Flow in the SiO2 Nanoslit Can Be Well Described via the Deformed Water Layer Model: A Molecular Simulation Study

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe intricate flow processes in nano‐pores pose limitations on the extraction of resources such as shale gas and gas hydrates. To observe water/gas two‐phase flow in nano‐pores, we employed molecular dynamics simulations on water/methane two‐phase flow in a hydrophilic SiO2 nanoslit, and obtained high‐quality data by applying the “pump method” and “nano‐manometer.” This study revealed the variation in phase distribution during flow process, and assessed the impact of water phase distribution on methane gas flow. We proposed the “Deformed Water Layer (DWL) model” based on physical mechanisms, which can precisely describe methane relative permeability and forecast the critical water saturation for forming water lock. Our results suggest a two‐stage transition in methane gas permeability with increasing water saturation within nano‐pores, governed by spatial deformation of water phase. This phenomenon underscores that maintaining a reduced groundwater saturation is imperative to facilitate superior gas permeability and enhance recovery efficacy.
A 3‐D FDTD Methodology for Modeling the Propagation of VLF Whistler Mode PLHR Waves Through the Ionosphere
Authors: Pedgaonkar A. S. , Simpson J. J. , Jensen E. A. 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThe finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method was previously applied to high‐frequency electromagnetic wave propagation through 250 km of the F region of the ionosphere. That modeling approach was limited to electromagnetic wave propagation above the critical frequency of the ionospheric plasma, and it did not include the lower ionosphere layers or the top of the F‐region. This paper extends the previous modeling methodology to frequencies below the critical frequency of the plasma and to altitudes encompassing the ionosphere. The following changes to the previous work were required to generate this model: (a) the D, E and top of the F regions of the ionosphere were added; and (b) the perfectly matched layer absorbing boundary on the top side of the grid was replaced with a collisional plasma to prevent reflections. We apply this model to the study of extremely low frequency (ELF) and very low frequency (VLF) electric power line harmonic radiation (PLHR) through the ionosphere. The model is compared against analytical predictions and applied to PLHR propagation in polar, mid‐latitude and equatorial regions. Also, to further demonstrate the advantages of the grid‐based FDTD method, PLHR propagation through a polar cap patch with inhomogeneities is studied. The presented modeling methodology may be applied to additional scenarios in a straightforward manner and can serve as a useful tool for better tracking and studying electromagnetic wave propagation through the ionosphere at any latitude and in the presence of irregularities of any size and shape.

Published: February 2025

Abstract“Polar” substorms are identified as substorm‐like disturbances that are exclusively observed at high geomagnetic latitudes (>70° MLAT) and are absent at lower latitudes. Although “polar” substorms typically occur during periods of quiet geomagnetic activity, it is still unclear whether they can develop under extremely quiet conditions when geoeffective space weather parameters are exceptionally low. Utilizing data from the IMAGE network across the Svalbard archipelago within the longitudinal sector of (∼108–114 Mlong), we examined 92 “extremely quiet geomagnetic” intervals from 2010 to 2020, which were associated with intervals of extremely slow solar wind (ESSWs, V < 300 km/s). We discovered that “polar” substorms can occur during ESSWs, but only with the presence of a negative Bz component. A total of 32 such events were identified from 17 ESSW intervals (∼19% of all ESSW intervals). We found that “polar” substorms during ESSWs display the primary characteristics of ordinary substorms, including the accompaniment of Pi1B geomagnetic pulsations, positive subauroral or mid‐latitude magnetic bays, a poleward shift of the westward electrojet, and auroral activity during their expansion phase. Additionally, it was found that the majority of “polar” substorm events during ESSWs (∼82%) were isolated substorms, developing solely in the pre‐midnight sector without disturbances in other longitudinal sectors. Several “polar” substorm events have been examined in detail.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe Southeast Indian Subantarctic Mode Water (SEISAMW), a thick water layer located between the seasonal and permanent pycnoclines, is important for climate variability in the Southern Ocean. However, its impact on long‐term changes of the Southeastern Front (SEF) associated with the South Indian Countercurrent has not been clearly revealed. By analyzing data from observations, objective products and an eddy resolving ocean general circulation model, the present study shows that the SEISAMW has shifted poleward (0.56° ± 0.12°) and weakened from 1980 to 2023, which causes the poleward migration (0.52° ± 0.12°) and weakening of the SEF in recent 44 years. The SEISAMW changes are associated with a significant shallowing and poleward shifting trend of the austral winter deep mixed layer in the Southeast Indian Ocean, as well as the poleward‐shifted SEISAMW's outcrop lines, all of which are mainly driven by the poleward migrated westerlies in recent decades.
Monthly Crop Water Consumption of Irrigated Crops in the United States From 1981 to 2019
Authors: Lamsal Gambhir , Marston Landon T. 
Published: February 2025

AbstractIrrigated agriculture depends on surface water and groundwater, but we do not have a clear picture of how much water is consumed from these sources by different crops across the US over time. Current estimates of crop water consumption are insufficient in providing the spatial granularity and temporal depth required for comprehensive long‐term analysis. To fill this data gap, we utilized crop growth models to quantify the monthly crop water consumption ‐ distinguishing between rainwater, surface water, and groundwater ‐ of the 30 most widely irrigated crops in the US from 1981 to 2019 at 2.5 arc min. These 30 crops represent approximately 95% of US irrigated cropland. We found that the average annual total crop water consumption for these 30 irrigated crops in the US was 154.2 km3, 70% of which was from irrigation. Corn and alfalfa accounted for approximately 16.7 and 24.8 km3 of average annual blue crop water consumption, respectively, which is nearly two‐fifths of the blue crop water consumed in the US. Surface water consumption decreased by 41.2%, while groundwater consumption increased by 6.8%, resulting in a 17.3% decline in blue water consumption between 1981 and 2019. We find good agreement between our results and existing modeled evapotranspiration (ET) products, remotely sensed ET estimates (OpenET), and water use data from the US Geological Survey and US Department of Agriculture. Our data set and model can help assess the impact of irrigation practices and water scarcity on crop production and sustainability.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Fungal deterioration of historical stone objects can significantly impact their mineralogy and chemistry, leading to irreplaceable cultural heritage losses. Ançã stone, a unique type of limestone widely used in some of the most emblematic Portuguese monuments, due to its soft, porous calcium carbonate nature, is known to have a high intrinsic bioreceptivity, being highly susceptible to fungal colonization and subsequent biodeterioration. In a prior experimental study aimed at characterizing the fungal diversity thriving on a Ançã stone funerary art piece showing visible signs of alteration at the Lemos Pantheon, a national monument in Águeda, Portugal, several isolates of an unexpected black mold were obtained. The detection of Stachybotrys chartarum across the multiple approaches used during that investigation suggested that its occurrence was not solely due to environmental contamination, prompting us to conduct a comprehensive analysis, as this species had never been previously associated with this lithotype. Our results proved the presence of S. chartarum, representing the first confirmed occurrence of this species from Ançã stone. Using a multi-locus phylogeny combined with morphological, physiological, and ecological analyses, we characterized these isolates. We also demonstrated the biodeteriorative potential of S. chartarum through plate assays, along with its in vitro ability to actively colonize limestone, with and without organic matter deposition, and solely under the natural fluctuations in relative humidity, causing changes to the substrate. We were able to observe hyphae penetration into calcite layers of inoculated stone probes, potential mineral desegregation and displacement, as well as putative mineralization phenomena around its hyphae after 10 months. This study provides critical new insights into the biodeteriorative potential of S. chartarum, which, along with its well-known toxigenic attributes, adds to its infamous reputation.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Purpose
This study evaluated the short-term efficacy and safety of the A-stream Glaucoma Shunt (A-stream; MICROT Inc., Republic of Korea) in patients who completed 6 months of follow-up after implantation.

Methods
Medical records of 49 patients (49 eyes) who underwent A-stream implantation between October 2023 and February 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. Primary outcomes included surgical success and intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction at 6 months postoperatively. Success was defined as achieving an IOP ≤ 18 mmHg, with at least a 20% reduction from preoperative IOP, and without clinically significant hypotony (IOP < 6 mmHg persisting >1 month or with hypotony maculopathy), classified as qualified (with or without medications) or complete (without medications). Ripcord removal timing and its effect on IOP, postoperative interventions, and complications were analysed.

Results
At 6 months, the mean IOP significantly decreased from 26.9 ± 8.3 mmHg to 11.9 ± 3.5 mmHg (P < 0.01). Complete success was achieved in 77.6% and qualified success in 93.9% of the eyes. The ripcord was removed in 73.5% of eyes at an average of 1.8 ± 1.3 months postoperatively, which led to further IOP reduction of 6.8 ± 5.0 mmHg 1 month after removal. No cases of clinically significant hypotony or vision-threatening complications were observed.

Conclusions
The A-stream demonstrated excellent short-term efficacy and safety in lowering IOP with high success rates. The ripcord enabled controlled IOP adjustments postoperatively. Further studies are warranted to evaluate long-term outcomes and compare them with conventional surgeries.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Shaping embryonic tissues requires spatiotemporal changes in genetic and signaling activity as well as in tissue mechanics. Studies linking specific molecular perturbations to changes in the tissue physical state remain sparse. Here we study how specific genetic perturbations affecting different posterior tissues during zebrafish body axis elongation change their physical state, the resulting large-scale tissue flows, and posterior elongation. Using a custom analysis software to reveal spatiotemporal variations in tissue fluidity, we show that dorsal tissues are most fluid at the posterior end, rigidify anterior of this region, and become more fluid again yet further anteriorly. In the absence of notochord (noto mutants) or when the presomitic mesoderm is substantially reduced (tbx16 mutants), dorsal tissues elongate normally. Perturbations of posterior-directed morphogenetic flows in dorsal tissues (vangl2 mutants) strongly affect the speed of elongation, highlighting the essential role of dorsal cell flows in delivering the necessary material to elongate the axis.

Abstract
Signaling from the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) on CD4+ T cells plays a critical role in adaptive immune responses by inducing T cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation. Here we demonstrate that WNK1, a kinase implicated in osmoregulation in the kidney, is required in T cells to support T-dependent antibody responses. We show that the canonical WNK1-OXSR1-STK39 kinase signaling pathway is required for TCR signaling in CD4+ T cells, their subsequent entry into the cell cycle, and suppression of the ATR-mediated G2/M cell cycle checkpoint. We show that the WNK1 pathway regulates ion influx leading to water influx, potentially through AQP3, and that water influx is required for TCR-induced signaling and cell cycle entry. Thus, TCR signaling via WNK1, OXSR1, STK39 and AQP3 leads to water entry that is essential for CD4+ T cell proliferation and hence T cell-dependent antibody responses.

Abstract
Proteomics offers unique insights into human biology and drug development, but few studies have directly compared the utility of different proteomics platforms. We measured plasma levels of 2168 proteins in 3976 Chinese adults using both Olink Explore and SomaScan platforms. The correlation of protein levels between platforms was modest (median rho = 0.29), with protein abundance and data quality parameters being key factors influencing correlation. For 1694 proteins with one-to-one matched reagents, 765 Olink and 513 SomaScan proteins had cis-pQTLs, including 400 with colocalising cis-pQTLs. Moreover, 1096 Olink and 1429 SomaScan proteins were associated with BMI, while 279 and 154 proteins were associated with risk of ischaemic heart disease, respectively. Addition of Olink and SomaScan proteins to conventional risk factors for ischaemic heart disease improved C-statistics from 0.845 to 0.862 (NRI: 12.2%) and 0.863 (NRI: 16.4%), respectively. These results demonstrate the utility of these platforms and could inform the design and interpretation of future studies.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The electrode-electrolyte interface is pivotal in the electrochemical kinetics. However, modulating the electrochemical interface at the atomic or molecular level is challenging due to the lack of efficient interfacial regulators. Here, we employ a porous amine cage as an interfacial modifier to Pt cluster in a confining configuration, largely enhancing alkaline HER kinetics by facilitating charge transfer. In situ electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectra, in combination with the ab initio molecular dynamics simulation, elucidates that the interaction between water and the -NH- moiety of cage frame softens the H-bonds net of interfacial water, making it more flexible for charge transfer. Moreover, our investigation pinpointed that the -NH- moiety acted as a pump for charge transfer by Grotthuss mechanism, lowering the kinetic barrier for hydrogen adsorption. Our findings highlight the strategy of establishing a soft-confining interfacial modifier by porous cage, offering opportunities to optimize electrochemical interfaces and promote reaction kinetics in a targeted way.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of ultrasonication, as a pre-treatment technology, coupled to enzymatic hydrolysis of herring side streams, yielding multifunctional peptide mixtures with antioxidant, hypotensive (ACE inhibitory activity), and hypoglycemic (DPP-IV inhibitory and GLP-1 enhancer activity) properties. The ultrasound pre-treatment modulates the biological activity of the hydrolysates, enhancing certain bioactive properties (antioxidant, ACE inhibitory, and GLP-1 enhancer activities, respectively) while reducing others (DPP-IV inhibitory activity). The study also highlights the importance of simulating gastrointestinal digestion and using Caco-2 cells to assess the bioaccessibility, intestinal bioavailability, and metabolic resistance of herring peptides. These findings support the use of ultrasonication and enzymatic hydrolysis in obtaining multifunctional bioactive peptide mixture for the prevention of metabolic syndrome. Results clearly suggest that this approach represent sustainable solutions in food science and technology, since it allowed us to obtain a bioactive mixture of peptides starting from fish by-products pre-treated with green methodologies.

Abstract
This report presents an open-source dataset investigating neurodevelopmental profiles in children. The dataset consists of EEG, ERP, and cognitive assessments from 100 Iranian non-clinical participants (age range 6–11 years, Mean = 8.52 ± 1.5 SD). Notably, this is a smaller group drawn from a larger longitudinal ongoing study. The research aligns with the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework, aiming to enhance diagnostic precision and intervention efficacy for specific learning disabilities (SLD) using EEG/ERP measures and machine learning. Cognitive assessments included non-verbal intelligence (Raven Test), attention (IVA-2), and working memory tasks. EEG recordings captured resting-state (eyes closed/open) and brain activity during working memory tasks with numerical and non-numerical stimuli (ERPs). Additionally, demographic information such as age, gender, education, handedness, parental history of learning difficulties, and child symptom inventory-4 (CSI-4) were collected. This dataset provides a valuable resource for exploring the neurophysiological correlates of cognitive functions in typically developing children, which can advance our understanding of the neural foundations of cognitive development in children.
