Older adults' perceptions of the risks associated with contemporary gambling environments: Implications for public health policy and practice

Author(s): Pitt H; McCarthy S; Thomas SL; Randle M; Marko S; Cowlishaw S; Kairouz S; Daube M;

Introduction: Rapid changes in the Australian gambling environment have amplified the risks for gamblers and pose significant threats to public health. Technological advances, saturation of marketing, and the embedding of gambling in sport have all contributed to significant changes in the gambling risk environment. Older adults have witnessed the changes ...

Pathway elucidation and microbial synthesis of proaporphine and bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloids from sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera)

Author(s): Pyne ME; Gold ND; Martin VJJ;

Sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) has been utilized as a food, medicine, and spiritual symbol for nearly 3000 years. The medicinal properties of lotus are largely attributed to its unique profile of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs), which includes potential anti-cancer, anti-malarial and anti-arrhythmic compounds. BIA biosynthesis in sacred lotus differs ...

A metagenomic-based study of two sites from the Barbadian reef system

Author(s): Simpson S; Bettauer V; Ramachandran A; Kraemer S; Mahon S; Medina M; Vallès Y; Dumeaux V; Vallès H; Walsh D; Hallett MT;

We study the microbiome of sea water collected from two locations of the Barbadian coral reefs. The two sites differ in several environmental and ecological variables including their endogenous benthic community and their proximity to urban development and runoffs from inland watersheds. The comp ...

Slow oscillation-spindle cross-frequency coupling predicts overnight declarative memory consolidation in older adults

Author(s): Oren M Weiner

Cross-frequency coupling (CFC) between brain oscillations during non-rapid-eye-movement (NREM) sleep (e.g. slow oscillations [SO] and spindles) may be a neural mechanism of overnight memory consolidation. Declines in CFC across the lifespan might accompany coinciding memory problems with ageing. However, there are few reports of CFC changes during sleep a ...

Comparison of paraspinal muscle composition measurements using IDEAL fat-water and T2-weighted MR images

Author(s): Sara Masi

CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that utilizing fat-water and T2-weighted MR images are comparable for quantifying multifidus and erector spinae muscle composition but not of the psoas major. While this suggests that both methods could be used interchangeably for the multifidus and erector spinae, further evaluation is required to expand and confirm our f ...

Isolation and Identification of Mercury-Tolerant Bacteria LBA119 from Molybdenum-Lead Mining Soils and Their Removal of Hg2

Author(s): Yao H; Wang H; Ji J; Tan A; Song Y; Chen Z;

Aims: To screen heavy metal-tolerant strains from heavy metal-contaminated soil in mining areas and determine the tolerance of the strains to different heavy metals and their removal rates through experiments. Methods: Mercury-resistant strain LBA119 was isolated from mercury-contaminated soil samples in Luanchuan County, Henan Province, China. The strai ...

Understanding National Nonprofit Data Environments

Author(s): Bloodgood EA; Bourns J; Lenczner M; Shibaike T; Tabet J; Melvin A; Wong WH;

We develop the concept of the nonprofit data environment as all data collected and reported in a country resulting from law implemented into practice. We map data environments across 20 countries and propose explanations for differences between the information nongovernmental organizations report (collected) and what is made publicly available (reported). ...

Application of machine learning in predicting non-alcoholic fatty liver disease using anthropometric and body composition indices

Author(s): Razmpour F; Daryabeygi-Khotbehsara R; Soleimani D; Asgharnezhad H; Shamsi A; Bajestani GS; Nematy M; Pour MR; Maddison R; Islam SMS;

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease, which can progress from simple steatosis to advanced cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Clinical diagnosis of NAFLD is crucial in the early stages of the disease. The main aim of this study was to apply machi ...

Steering of carbon fiber/PEEK tapes using Hot Gas Torch-assisted automated fiber placement

Author(s): Rajasekaran A; Shadmehri F;

In-situ manufacturing of thermoplastic composites using Hot Gas Torch (HGT)-assisted Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) has the potential to produce laminates in an efficient manner by avoiding a secondary process, like autoclave consolidation. One of the advantages of AFP technique is its capability to steer fiber path and to manufacture Variable Angle Tow ...

Decoupled responses of biodiversity facets driven from anuran vulnerability to climate and land-use changes

Author(s): Ceron K; Sales LP; Santana DJ; Pires MM;

Biodiversity loss not only implies the loss of species but also entails losses in other dimensions of biodiversity, such as functional, phylogenetic and interaction diversity. Yet, each of those facets of biodiversity may respond differently to extinctions. Here, we examine how extinction, driven by climate and land-use changes may affect those different ...

Evaluation of Increasing Dairy Intake on Bone Density in Postpubertal Youth: A Randomized Controlled Trial Using Motivational Interviewing

Author(s): Slim M; Vanstone CA; Morin SN; Rahme E; Bacon SL; Weiler HA;

Background: Adequate nutrition is important for bone health, especially for bone mineral accretion. Objectives: The primary objective tested whether increasing dairy intake using the motivational interviewing technique (MInt) improves lumbar spine (LS) bone mineral density (BMD) after 2 y in postpubertal adolescents with habitual dairy intake of Methods ...
