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 ...

Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) is a method to obtain clean water in remote or underdeveloped regions including, but not limited to, those with an arid or desert climate. For passive (i.e., relying on ambient cooling and, for heating, natural sunlight?as opposed to an external power source), adsorbent-based AWH, an adsorbent bed is employed to capture ...

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 ...

Plastic pollution in aquatic environments has become a growing global concern, with floating macroplastics posing serious ecological, economic, and health risks from inland water bodies to remote coastal zones. Despite advances in satellite remote sensing, reliable and scalable detection of floating plastics remains limited by spectral confusion and the l ...

Characterizing and manipulating cellular behavior requires a mechanistic understanding of the causal interactions between cellular components. We present an approach to detect causal interactions between genes without the need to perturb the physiological state of cells. This approach exploits naturally occurring cell-to-cell variability which is experime ...

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability, with proprioceptive impairments affecting up to 64% of survivors. These impairments hinder sensorimotor recovery, significantly impacting poststroke quality of life. Proprioception depends on an integrated brain network but remains underexplored due to limitations in clinical assessments, hind ...

Objective: This article is one of the first to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on online gambling (OG) participation and gambling-related problems in relation to living conditions. The latter include whether people reported being in a significant intimate relationship, their living arrangements (alone vs. cohabitation), and whether they lived ...

Community-based monitoring (CBM) programs are increasingly recognized as essential for adaptive environmental stewardship. Yet, the CBM literature often highlights successful cases and privileges evaluations by external experts over those of community members themselves. To address this gap, we drew on insights from 23 semistructured interviews with Cree ...
