Resource Assessment Reports
Sandy sprat Hyperlophus vittatus (‘whitebait’) is a small-bodied clupeid which occurs in temperate nearshore marine and estuarine waters throughout southern Australia. In Western Australia, this species is almost exclusively caught by the commercial sector on the lower west coast, between Perth and Geographe Bay, where it is considered to comprise a single biological stock. Since 2010, sandy sprat has primarily been caught by the South West Beach Net Fishery (SWBN) in the Bunbury region. This is a shore-based fishery which utilises beach seine nets to target a variety of finfish species in shallow nearshore waters.
Commercial catch is monitored and …

Double novel chitosan Schiff-base series (I and II) based on heterocyclic moieties were synthesized to improve the pristine antibacterial capabilities of chitosan. Series (I) chitosan Schiff bases were prepared by reacting chitosan with six derivatives of 4-formyl-1H-pyrazole in an acidic medium, whereas series (II) was prepared by reacting chitosan with six derivatives of 1-(4-vinylbenzyl)-3-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde in an acidic medium. The chemical configurations of the twelve manufactured Schiff bases were verified using FTIR analysis & TGA measurements. We assessed the antimicrobial efficacy of chitosan and its Schiff base derivatives against four standard bacterial species, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia …

Colorado Mental Health Professionals’ Personal And Professional Perspectives Of Nutrition: A Phenomenological Study, Tanya M. Tyrrell
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
Growing evidence supports the relationship between nutrition and mental health. However, little is known about how mental health professionals (MHPs) experience nutrition, perceive its role in relation to mental health, or integrate nutrition into psychotherapy. The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to explore Colorado MHPs’ lived experiences with nutrition and examine how those experiences informed their professional perspectives of nutrition. Guided by constructivist epistemology, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 MHPs practicing in Colorado, and data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Analysis generated eight themes. Findings revealed that 1) MHPs experienced nutrition as a lifelong developmental process …

Most biological processes are dynamic, yet experimental methods predominantly rely on steady-state measurements to investigate their underlying mechanisms. RNA localization is a fundamental aspect of eukaryotic cell organization and is dynamically regulated by cells. While extensively studied in specialized cell types for a limited number of candidate RNAs, the general principles governing dynamic RNA localization at a transcriptome-wide scale remain largely unexplored. Existing transcriptome-wide studies provide only a static snapshot of RNAs residing in specific cellular locales, in part due to the limited availability of tools for probing cellular spatial organization at biologically relevant scales. Here, we leverage the high …

Circadian rhythms are critical for maintaining homeostasis and regulating physiological functions, and consequentially impact disease progression; yet, they remain largely overlooked in in vitro models used in preclinical research. One major barrier to rigorously testing the role of circadian rhythms in these models is the lack of accessible tools that seamlessly integrate into standard culture setups and are capable of sustainably delivering time cues to cells and tissues in long term experiments. Here, we present the ThermoClock, a low-cost, Arduino-based automated temperature control system capable of delivering independent temperature programs to multiple cultures simultaneously. Using circadian reporter U2OS cell lines …

Biographex: Multi-Level Explainability In Graph Neural Networks For Trustworthy Biomedical Ai, Muhammad Talha Sajid, Ahmad Kamran Malik, Nafees Qamar, Hasnian Abudullah, Aleem Ahmad
Biological and Biomedical Sciences Department Faculty Journal Articles
In biomedical research and clinical practices, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are playing an increasingly important role and have been applied to the problems of disease pathway detection, gene–disease relation prediction, etc. They show great potential for biomedical predictions; however, there are interpretability issues when used on complex datasets like gene expression data. Current explainability methods such as GNNExplainer are designed to explain individual instances, not the whole network. The absence of transparency hinders trust and limits the clinical/biomedical implementation of GNNs. Additionally, more interpretable models like GNN-SubNet and XGDAG do not fulfill the expectation of a clear picture for the …

Background and aims: Atherosclerosis results from cellular and extracellular changes in the arterial wall, preceded by molecular shifts that initiate disease and drive tissue conversion, yet these changes are not yet fully described. More data are needed concerning these early changes in the coronary artery molecular landscape that signify the initiation of atherosclerosis and the subsequent tissue pheno-conversion to atherosclerotic plaque. This report summarizes results from a large biorepository of human coronary artery tissue, applying state-of-the-art omics technology, advanced data analytic methods, and an arterial organoid model system to predict molecular dynamics and identify potential regulatory mechanisms that could interrupt …
Taxing Ai In The Wake Of The Emergence Of Agentic Ai, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah, Herbert Snitz
Taxing Ai In The Wake Of The Emergence Of Agentic Ai, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah, Herbert Snitz
Articles
This article addresses taxation measures to regulate AI agents (i.e., AI that is not fully under the control of humans, including both ANI and AGI). In each case, the focus is on what the agent’s capabilities would be, not on how it becomes capable of successfully performing its tasks (though the latter would likely be relevant to important philosophical questions, e.g., might robots achieve sentience or consciousness, and if so, would they have rights?). Regarding mirroring what we human beings can do, the hallmark of AGI is that it will not be task-specific (like ANI), but will possess broad capabilities, …

Subsoils have been identified as a potential target for building soil C stocks, given the older age and slower cycling of organic matter at depth. Plant roots deliver C deep into the soil profile, but there is limited experimental evidence as to which root traits are most effective at increasing subsoil C. To that end, we conducted a 13C natural abundance study to trace C from roots of differing quality into organic matter fractions in a shallow and deep soil layer of an Alfisol in Lexington, KY. The roots of four species were packed into nylon-wrapped tubes with soil and …

Approach–Avoidance Motivation And Goal Adaptation In Chronic Pain: Predicting Pain Intensity And Interference, Paria Eshraghi, Deirdre Drake, Joanne Iddon, Joanne M. Dickson
Research outputs 2022 to 2026
Chronic pain is a major public health concern associated with disability, reduced functioning and psychological distress. Compared with biological studies, relatively little research has studied chronic pain from a psychological perspective, specifically motivation. Yet, motivation is considered fundamental to human functioning and drives human behaviour. The present study aimed to investigate whether distinct motivational and adaptive goal processes are implicated in chronic pain. The sample comprised 190 adult community participants who reported chronic pain for 3 months or more. Participants completed self-report measures of approach and avoidance motivation, adaptive goal processes, pain intensity, and interference. As hypothesised, avoidance motivation (but …

Ocean monitoring is essential for understanding climate change and marine ecosystem dynamics, yet achieving comprehensive global coverage remains a challenge in oceanography. Current technologies face limitations in cost, power, hardware, and depth capacity that restrict widespread monitoring capabilities. Here we show that biohybrid robotic jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) can serve as autonomous vertical ocean profilers by integrating microcontrollers with positively buoyant sensor payloads, achieving controlled vertical-profiling capabilities. Laboratory experiments demonstrated repeatable up–down trajectories, quantified force balance limits, and identified predictable, size-dependent descent swimming speeds. Field deployments in Massachusetts coastal waters and the open ocean off the Florida Keys demonstrated field operation …

Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling pathways are integral for a plethora of biological processes. SMAD2 and SMAD3 are the principal transcriptional effectors of TGFβ superfamily ligands, yet quantitative, genome-wide mapping of their DNA-associated complexes under physiological contexts has remained limited due to the lack of specific, robust models. Here, we generated two versatile epitope-tagged mouse models in which endogenous SMAD2 and SMAD3 proteins are globally tagged with hemagglutinin (HA) and podoplanin (PA) sequences, respectively, enabling high-fidelity profiling of SMAD2 and SMAD3 binding across tissues. To demonstrate the broad application of our models, we exemplified the usage of our lines …

Remove To Recruit: The Short-Term Efficacy Of Invasive Shrub Removal In A Minnesota Floodplain Forest, Claire S. Wiley
Biology Honors Projects
Within Midwest floodplain forests, there is a lack of long-term studies focusing on native tree recruitment post invasive shrub removal. With interacting threats such as emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis), invasive earthworms, and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), land managers need particular information about these ecosystems in order to better understand how to protect them. This study aims to explore the efficacy of the removal of Rhamnus cathartica and Lonicera spp. in promoting native tree recruitment within a Minnesota floodplain forest along the Mississippi River. Results revealed that post removal ash (Fraxinus spp.) seedling abundance …

Animal ecologists frequently quantify variance in hierarchically structured traits in wild populations. Importantly, phenotypic plasticity within the period of measurement can modify the trait of interest in response to various unmeasured, temporally or spatially changeable, environmental conditions. Non-random sampling among units of the random effect (e.g. individuals) regarding the environment at issue may lead to estimates of the variance among ((Formula presented.)) or within ((Formula presented.)) such units that conflate several types of processes. This mixing of underlying biology can affect interpretations of the random effect variance. Here, we explore the conditions leading to this situation and assess potential solutions …

Age-related cellular changes negatively impact CD4+ T cell function. Our prior work showed that mitochondrial complex II (succinate dehydrogenase [SDH]) expression was upregulated in T cells from older (O) adults (60–80 years old). T cells from older adults also produced higher amounts of cytokines generally considered proinflammatory, such as Th17 cytokines IL-17A/F and IL-21, and the Th-17-supportive cytokine IL-6, compared to T cells from younger (Y) adults (25–40 years old). The objective of our study is to evaluate whether hyperactivation of SDH is required for the induction of proinflammatory cytokines and the mechanistic link between SDH and Th17 cytokine …

ΔFOSB, an unusually stable member of the AP-1 family of transcription factors, mediates long-term maladaptations that play a key role in the pathogenesis of drug addiction, cognitive decline, dyskinesia, and several other chronic neurological and psychiatric conditions. We have recently identified that 2-phenoxybenzenesulfonic acid-containing compounds disrupt the binding of ΔFOSB to DNA in vitro in cell-based assays, and one such compound, JPC0661, disrupts ΔFOSB binding to genomic DNA in vivo in the mouse brain with partial efficiency. JPC0661 binds to a groove outside of the DNA-binding cleft of the ΔFOSB/JUND bZIP heterodimer in a cocrystal structure. Here, we generated a …

This study reports the synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and biological evaluation of a novel moxifloxacin hydrazide derivative (MOX-H) and its metal complexes with Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), VO(IV), and Gd(III). The ligand was synthesized by hydrazinolysis of moxifloxacin hydrochloride, and the resulting hydrazide was subsequently complexed with the respective metal salts. The interaction between MOX-H and the metal ions yielded the corresponding complexes, formulated as [Co(H2O)Cl(MOX-H)2]Cl & centerdot;2.5H2O, [Ni(H2O)Cl(MOX-H)2]Cl.4.5H2O, [VO(MOX-H)2]SO4.3.5H2O, [Gd (H2O)(MOX-H)2(NO3)2]NO3.2H2O, and [Cu(MOX-H)2(H2O)Cl]Cl & centerdot;xH2O (where x = 2, 2.5, 0.5, for products synthesized via template, microwave-assisted, and hydrothermal methods, respectively). The synthesized analogues were characterized by elemental analysis (CHN), FT-IR, …

However, despite an increasing number of journals in ecology and evolutionary biology mandating for data and code to be archived alongside published articles, the amount and quality of archived data and code, and subsequent reproducibility of results, has remained worryingly low. As a result, a handful of journals have recruited dedicated data editors, whose role is to help authors increase the overall quality of archived data and code. There is, however, a general lack of consensus around what a data editor should …

Myeloid leukemia of Down syndrome (ML-DS) is a distinct form of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that responds to reduced-intensity chemotherapy, as compared with non-DS AML that requires intensive chemotherapy and often stem cell transplant. While most patients with ML-DS have a favorable prognosis, outcomes for those with refractory or relapsed disease are dismal. Children's Oncology Group study AAML1531 introduced the use of measurable residual disease by multiparameter flow cytometry at the end of the first course of induction therapy (EOI-1 MRD) for risk stratification of treatment intensity. Of 280 patients with ML-DS who were enrolled, 41 were classified as …

The FastPCA package provides an interface to optimized matrix multiplication libraries (libtorch) for the purpose of singular value decomposition. Using FastPCA to perform randomized singular value decomposition (SVD, (Halko, Martinsson, & Tropp, 2011)) with the torch or pytorch backend drastically reduces the computational time compared to base R prcomp and other truncated singular value decomposition. Developed for biological data such as single-cell RNA-sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, or matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI imaging), FastPCA can efficiently and accurately identify the leading singular values in high-dimensional data.

Rapid and comprehensive analysis of complex proteomes across large sample sets is vital for unlocking the potential of systems biology. We present a high-throughput mass spectrometry (MS) proteomics method that integrates narrow-window data-independent acquisition (nDIA) with short-gradient micro-flow chromatography, enabling profiling of >240 samples per day. This optimized MS approach identifies 6,201 and 7,466 human proteins with 1- and 2-min gradients, respectively. As a practical application, we analyzed 507 samples composed of 13 different tissues from mice treated with the enzyme-drug L-asparaginase (ASNase) or its glutaminase-free Q59L mutant, generating a quantitative profile of 11,472 proteins following drug treatment. The MS …
