Hierarchical Storage Management in User Space for Neuroimaging Applications

Author(s): Hayot-Sasson V; Glatard T;

Neuroimaging open-data initiatives have led to increased availability of large scientific datasets. While these datasets are shifting the processing bottleneck from compute-intensive to data-intensive, current standardized analysis tools have yet to adopt strategies that mitigate the costs associated with large data transfers. A major challenge in adaptin ...

An analytical approach for three-dimensional thermal analysis of moving heat source on orthotropic solid

Author(s): Fereidouni M; Hoa SV;

The Rosenthal steady-state analytical solution for the temperature distribution caused by a moving point heat source on a semi-infinite, homogeneous, isotropic solid has been extensively used in modeling metallurgical processes, e.g., arc welding. This study develops a three-dimensional analytical closed-form solution for the temperature field induced by ...

Brine management via reverse osmosis-based technologies: Energy consumption, performance limits, economic feasibility, and practical applicability

Author(s): Khaled Touati

Effective brine management remains a major challenge for the desalination industry, particularly as plants encounter increasingly high-salinity waste streams. This study presents a comparative performance assessment of advanced reverse osmosis-based technologies, low-salt-rejection reverse osmosis (LSRRO), high-pressure reverse osmosis (HPRO), osmotically ...

Comparing the impact of in-person vs. virtual 10-week family-based childhood obesity management program on anthropometric, cardiometabolic, and mental health outcomes

Author(s): Heidl AJ; Sun D; Faustini C; Gierc M; Bains A; Cohen TR;

Objectives: To compare differences in patient outcomes in individuals living with overweight and obesity who attended a 10-week multidisciplinary program delivered virtually vs. participants who completed the program in-person. Methods: Data from 27 youth (8-18 years old) who attended virtual programming were matched by sex and body mass index (BMI) z-sc ...

A comparison of municipal waste collection policies to optimize recycling rates: Evidence from England and Wales

Author(s): Wilansky J; Cao K;

This study investigated the effectiveness of municipal waste collection policies within England and Wales by examining how variations in local waste management strategies correlate with recycling rates. Using data from 297 council districts, we analysed the impact of different policy variables (frequency of residual waste and recycling collection, sorting ...

Tri-Functional CRISPR Screen Reveals Overexpression of em QDR2 /em and em QDR3 /em Transporters Increase Fumaric Acid Production in em Kluyveromyces marxianus /em

Author(s): Thornbury M; Omran RP; Kumar L; Knoops A; Abushahin R; Whiteway M; Martin VJJ;

Organic acids such as fumaric acid are widely used in the food and beverage industry as acidulants and preservatives, while also serving as versatile precursors for industrially relevant compounds. Fumaric acid is still predominantly produced through petroleum-derived processes. To enhance production efficiency and diversify supply, we are engineering Klu ...

From pollution barriers to health buffers: Rethinking building airtightness under climate variability

Author(s): Fu N; Zhang R; Haghighat F; Kumar P; Cao SJ;

Climate change is reshaping indoor-outdoor pollution dynamics, yet current building standards rarely reflect this shift. In rapidly urbanizing regions with high ambient PM2.5 levels, building airtightness offers an underutilized strategy to mitigate indoor exposure and associated health burdens. An analysis of 36 major Chinese cities across five climate z ...
