Threatened Birds in a Changing Mediterranean Wetland: Long-Term Trends and Climate-Driven Threats

Author(s): Bouregbi I; Bensakhri Z; Zebsa R; Zouaimia A; Bensouilah S; Bouteraa O; Khelifa R; Ouakid ML; Mahdjoub H; Houhamdi M;

Understanding the impact of climate change on waterbirds, particularly those of conservation concern, is essential for their long-term management and effective conservation. In arid regions such as North Africa, wetlands of international importance have been affected by severe drought events, but ...

Hearing loss is associated with decreased default-mode network connectivity in individuals with mild cognitive impairment

Author(s): Grant N; Phillips N;

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and hearing loss (HL) have been separately associated with increased dementia risk. These highly co-occurring dementia risk factors are associated with aberrant functional brain connectivity. In individuals with HL aberrant functional connectivity has been associated with cognitive impairment. In individuals with MCI, aberr ...

Hemodynamic correlates of fluctuations in neuronal excitability: A simultaneous Paired Associative Stimulation (PAS) and functional near infra-red spectroscopy (fNIRS) study

Author(s): Cai Z; Pellegrino G; Spilkin A; Delaire E; Uji M; Abdallah C; Lina JM; Fecteau S; Grova C;

Background: The relationship between task-related hemodynamic activity and brain excitability is poorly understood in humans as it is technically challenging to combine simultaneously non-invasive brain stimulation and neuroimaging modalities. Cortical excitability corresponds to the readiness to ...

Printing of Cantilevers and Millifluidic Devices Using Ultrasound Waves

Author(s): Foroughi S; Karamzadeh V; Habibi M; Packirisamy M;

Direct sound printing (DSP) is a recent development in additive manufacturing processes using sound waves, in which cavitation bubbles created by a focused ultrasound field polymerize the liquid resin via the sonochemistry route. This article presents the first attempt to create functional parts, such as cantilevers and millifluidic systems in polydimethy ...

In vitro evaluation of isatin-pyridine oxime hybrids as potential acetylcholinesterase inhibitors for nerve agent prophylaxis

Author(s): Silva MCJD; Pinto AMV; Balthar MA; Correa ABA; Bhattacharyya D; Simas ABC; Kuca K; Forgione P; França TCC; Cavalcante SFA; Kitagawa DAS;

Given the recent deployment of nerve agents as a method of warfare and in targeted assassinations, the development of robust, broad-spectrum medical countermeasures is essential. Our research group has synthesized isatin-pyridine oxime hybrids that have previously demonstrated the ability to resc ...

Sustainable Recovery of Critical Minerals from Wastes by Green Biosurfactants: A Review

Author(s): Deravian B; Mulligan CN;

Biosurfactants have emerged as promising agents for environmental remediation due to their ability to complex, chelate, and remove heavy metals from contaminated environments. This review evaluates their potential for recovering critical minerals from waste materials to support renewable energy production, emphasizing the role of biosurfactant-metal inter ...

Leading the way to a safer workplace: What enables supervisors to be servant leaders and enhance subordinates workplace safety behaviors?

Author(s): Chen YP; Hsu YS; Panaccio A; Wang H;

Introduction: Drawing on the Motivation-Ability-Opportunity (MAO) framework and social information processing (SIP) theory, we hypothesized that supervisors demonstrate the highest level of servant leadership when their prosocial motivation (motivation), perspective taking (ability), and perceived collaborative-based HR configuration (opportunity) are all ...

A practical approach for preventing dispersion of infection disease in naturally ventilated room

Author(s): Ren C; Cao SJ; Haghighat F;

During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic period, the airborne transmission of viruses has raised widespread concern as daily activities are resumed in public buildings. It is essential to develop mitigation strategies of infection disease transmission (e.g., increase of ventilation rate) in different scenarios to reduce the infection risk. For classrooms in s ...

Sex Differences in the Association Between Subjective Social Status and Imaging Markers of Cardiac Inflammation and Fibrosis

Author(s): Sánchez-Carro Y; Moukarzel M; Friedrich MG; Gouin JP; Luu JM;

Objective: Beyond objective socioeconomic status (SES) indicators, subjective social status (SSS), an individual's subjective perception of their social standing relative to others, has been independently linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. Some studies also report sex differences in the association between SSS and CVD. Thi ...
