Comprehensive Metabolic Profiling Across Five Lifespan Stages In Murine Hippocampus And Cortex Reveals Sex-Related Variation In Age-Related Cognitive Decline, Xi Long, Wuping Liu, Changhan Chen, Qi Guo, Yidan Wang, Fang Yu, Yujin Zhang, Rodney E Kellems, Yang Xia

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

This study employs Barnes maze behavioral assessments, untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry metabolomics, and 13C6-glucose isotopic tracing to systematically investigate cognitive function and metabolic profiles in hippocampal and cortical tissues of male and female mice across five distinct age-ranges. Behavioral analyses reveal significant cognitive decline in both sexes by 16-months-of-age, with females exhibiting more severe impairment by 23-months, demonstrating a sex-related variation. 13C6-glucose tracing analyses reveals that glucose is rapidly and preferentially metabolized toward the Tricarboxylic acid cycle over glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), with metabolism rates increasing from juvenility to meet developmental demands and maintaining homeostasis into pre-elderly. …

From Rivalry To Ritual: Sungkeman As A Strategic Political Communication Tool In Indonesian Politics, Fitra Hadi Khaz, Erinaldi Erinaldi, Refdi Refdi, Dede Mirza

Jurnal Wacana Politik

This study explores the overlooked phenomenon of “political sungkeman “ as a culturally rooted yet politically strategic gesture performed by Prabowo Subianto toward Joko Widodo (Jokowi) during Indonesia’s 2019 and 2024 presidential elections. While symbolic gestures have been widely studied in global political communication, limited attention has been paid to how localized traditions like sungkeman are adapted to mitigate polarization and influence public perception in highly mediated electoral contexts. Utilizing a qualitative literature review combined with political discourse and media framing analysis, this study investigates the role of sungkeman through five analytical dimensions: political reconciliation, cultural symbolism, image strategy, public …

Antimicrobial resistance is life-threatening to complex pediatric patients who receive multiple courses of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Bacteriophages offer a safe treatment alternative when our antibiotic armamentarium is no longer sufficient. We describe successful use of bacteriophage therapy on a patient with a recalcitrant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection after receiving a multi-organ transplant.

Non-Invasive Dielectric Fluid Health Monitoring System, Dhruv S Chaddah, Zaid A Issa, Gowrav Bukkapattana Gururaj, Yaagna Krupal Modi

Defensive Publications Series

Proposed herein is a system that integrates high-resolution capacitive, optical, and infrared temperature sensing into a compact, clamp-on module that mounts directly onto a non-metallic coolant tube. Ideally, the clamp-on module can be located at the pump outlet, where fluid temperature, flow, and dielectric properties are most representative of system health. This fully non-invasive approach enables continuous, real-time monitoring without disrupting the cooling loop.

Bempedoic Acid: A Novel Lipid-Lowering Pharmacological Agent For The Management Of Dyslipidemia, Hajir Karim Abdul-Husseein

Maaen Journal for Medical Sciences

Bempedoic acid is a newly discovered a novel lipid-lowering non-statin agent used for the management of dyslipidemiaand the reduction of cardiovascular risk. Its therapeutic mechanism of action is mediated by the inactivation of upstream enzymatic activity of adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase (ATP -citrate lyase) that implicated in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway. Clinical studies have reported that the treatment with bempedoic acid alone may reduce LDL-C levels via nearly 20% when compared with placebo, and by up to 38% when administered in combination with ezetimibe. This new drug has showed a satisfactory safety and tolerability profile demonstrated by a minimal level of …

Statewide Sanctuary Policies And Female Homicide Rates, 2016–2021, Kaitlin M. Boyle, Sophia Shaiman, Veronica Valencia Gonzalez, Wendy Regoeczi

Faculty Publications

The current study examines whether state immigration enforcement policies, such as sanctuary policies that limit local police cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, are associated with female homicide rates in the United States (2016–2021). We examine crude female homicide rates from the National Violent Death Reporting System (N = 244 state-years), which we stratify by race and ethnicity (Hispanic of all races, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic White) and victim–suspect relationship (domestic vs. stranger homicide). State-years with policies that are more protective of immigrants were not associated with higher homicide rates for any group. Instead, state-years with these policies reported significantly lower …

Fatigue Crack Length Estimation Using Acoustic Emissions Technique-Based Convolutional Neural Networks, Asaad Migot, Ahmed Saaudi, Roshan Joseph, Victor Giurgiutiu

Faculty Publications

Fatigue crack propagation is a critical failure mechanism in engineering structures, requiring meticulous monitoring for timely maintenance. This research introduces a deep learning framework for estimating fatigue fracture length in metallic plates through acoustic emission (AE) signals. AE waveforms recorded during crack growth are transformed into time-frequency images using the Choi–Williams distribution. First, a clustering system is developed to analyze the distribution of the AE image-based dataset. This system employs a CNN-based model to extract features from the input images. The AE dataset is then divided into three categories according to fatigue lengths using the K-means algorithm. Principal Component Analysis …
