Food waste is one of the most important world-wide challenges whose environmental, economic and social impacts have far-reaching effects that include contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, resources depletion as well as the rising levels of food insecurity. These problems are further intensified in Asia due to high rate of urbanization, population growth, changing dietary habits, and lack of waste management facilities. These conditions complicate the fact that countries are increasingly struggling to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12.3, which is to ensure that by 2030, half of the world has dropped per-capita food waste, and food losses …

Poa annua L. is a widespread and persistent weed in managed turfgrass systems, exhibiting both annual and short-lived perennial growth habits. Effective management requires an integrated approach, with chemical herbicides remaining a primary tool. This review outlines the current landscape of chemical control strategies, including pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide options, plant growth regulators, and emerging chemistries. Herbicide resistance in Poa annua continues to pose a significant challenge, with confirmed cases spanning multiple modes of action. Consequently, sustainable management depends on rotating herbicide classes, using mixtures and sequences of treatments, and integrating nonchemical tactics.

Michigan Tech Publications

This study employed a dry-process method to prepare SBS/recycled LDPE/EVA composite-modified particles (CMP) for asphalt mixture modification. Conventional performance tests, including penetration tests, determined the optimal CMP dosage to be 8% by mass of asphalt. The rheological properties and microstructure of base asphalt, SBS-modified asphalt, and composite-modified asphalt were systematically compared, and the road performance of the corresponding mixtures was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the composite modifier forms a uniform elastic network within the asphalt, significantly enhancing both high- and low-temperature performance and fatigue life while also improving thermal stability and deformation resistance. The modification mechanism is predominantly based …

Hyperdensity On Head Ct—An Imaging Review, Ramsis Benjamin, Christian Menard, Erik Larson Feb 2026

Hyperdensity On Head Ct—An Imaging Review, Ramsis Benjamin, Christian Menard, Erik Larson

School of Medicine Publications

The 3D images derived from non-contrast Computed Tomography (NCCT) scans provide a glimpse into the intra- and extracranial structures, based on the ability of electromagnetic X-rays to penetrate through various tissue densities. The gray matter, for example, possesses a higher density than the white matter, absorbs more X-rays, allows less penetration (attenuation), and thus has larger Hounsfield units (HU), the mathematical value of attenuation coefficient. The CT scanner’s wide availability and ease of use allow for quick assessment of acute neurosurgical abnormalities, such as hemorrhages, mass effect, hydrocephalus, and traumatic injuries. An attenuation value of +60 to +90 HU generally …

Sleep disturbances are prominent across neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and may reflect specific abnormalities in brain development and function. Overnight polysomnography (PSG) allows for detailed investigation of sleep architecture, offering a unique window into neurocircuit function. Analysis of existing pediatric PSGs from clinical studies could enhance the availability of sleep studies in pediatric patients with NDDs towards a better understanding of mechanisms underlying abnormal development in NDDs. Here, we introduce and characterize a retrospective collection of 1527 clinical pediatric overnight PSGs across five different sites. We first developed an automated stager trained on independent pediatric sleep data, which yielded better performance …

Heme And Hemozoin Induce Platelet Cell Death Through Upr-Induced Apoptosis And Ferroptosis In Vivax Malaria, Milena Tavares Gomes, Robert A Campbell, Et Al. Feb 2026

Heme And Hemozoin Induce Platelet Cell Death Through Upr-Induced Apoptosis And Ferroptosis In Vivax Malaria, Milena Tavares Gomes, Robert A Campbell, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Malaria is a highly prevalent infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium intraerythrocytic replication leads to hemolysis-driven intermittent febrile crises in patients. In addition, the lysis of unparasitized red blood cells contributes to anemia and endotoxemia. Because thrombocytopenia is an important feature of vivax and severe falciparum malaria, we hypothesized that increased hemolysis in malaria contributes to severe thrombocytopenia by releasing endogenous and parasite toxins (ie, heme and hemozoin) capable of inducing programmed cell death in platelets. Using complementary biochemical, ultrastructural, pharmacological, and molecular approaches, we examined response to stress and cell death pathways that were elevated in the transcriptome …

The Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium performed a retrospective analysis of 133 patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) receiving matched sibling donor (MSD) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) between 1980 and 2023 at 30 North American institutions. In this largest cohort of MSD outcomes in patients with SCID to date, we examined the impact of conditioning regimen and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis on survival and immune recovery. Outcomes after MSD HCT for SCID were excellent. Patients without an active infection or failure to thrive (FTT) at the time of HCT had 5-year overall survival superior to those with infection or FTT. …

Development Of A Decision-Making Framework For Selecting A Project Delivery Method For Public Sector Construction Projects In Malaysia, Mohd Idham Mohd Noor

Student Works (2020-2029)

Public sector construction projects play a crucial role in economic development and public service delivery, requiring effective project management to ensure optimal public expenditure and successful outcomes. Selecting an appropriate Project Delivery Method (PDM) is a critical yet unstructured process in the Malaysian public sector, influenced by various constraints such as administrative regulations, stakeholder interests, and policy compliance. Despite existing studies on PDM decision-making, research on Malaysia’s public sector remains limited. This study aims to develop a decision-making mechanism for determining appropriate PDM for Malaysia's public sector construction projects. The research adopts an interpretivist approach using a qualitative multiple-case study …

Are Animals “It”? Restoring Animals In Our Language, Gaizel Arguelles Adan Feb 2026

Are Animals “It”? Restoring Animals In Our Language, Gaizel Arguelles Adan

Landas

This essay examines how language marginalizes animals by reducing them to “it,” obscuring their cognition, agency, communication, empathy, and giftedness. Such linguistic marginalization intersects with metaphors and colloquialisms that demean both women and animals and is reinforced by anthropocentric philosophical and theological traditions. While Thomistic thought has often emphasized human superiority, Thomas Aquinas also presents animals as participants in God’s community of creation who reveal divine goodness and glory. Drawing on animal reciprocity and feminist animal care, particularly entangled empathy, this essay proposes an ethic that recognizes animals in their wholeness and uniqueness. Naming becomes a countercultural practice that resists …

Ministry Of “Listening Deeply” In An Inculturated Church In North Vietnam, Jojo M. Fung Feb 2026

Ministry Of “Listening Deeply” In An Inculturated Church In North Vietnam, Jojo M. Fung

Landas

This synodal process foregrounds the relevance of “listening deeply” as a ministerial praxis which is grounded in a mystagogy with a theology of God’s corporealization in creation/cosmos through the incarnation, and a spirituality of interiority discerning God’s communication ad extra and ad intra facilitated by the everyday exercise of Cosmic One-ing. This ecclesial praxis is relevant in the synodal process of communal discernment. Church leaders need formation in this ministerial practice to become truly inculturated communities that integrate their faith with the local living traditions of the faithful. At the same time, the faithful also incorporate the other living traditions …

Tensions In Translating: The Case Of The Misa Ng Bayang Pilipino, Teofilo Giovan S. Pugeda Iii Feb 2026

Tensions In Translating: The Case Of The Misa Ng Bayang Pilipino, Teofilo Giovan S. Pugeda Iii

Landas

The Misa ng Bayang Pilipino (MBP) is an attempt at liturgical inculturation. Yet the inaction of the Roman Curia in the 1990s regarding the MBP is partly explainable by the MBP's use of the dynamic equivalence theory of translation and inculturated expression at a moment when norms on translation promoted by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments were shifting towards the formal equivalence theory. As a result, it appears that the MBP came into tension with the policy changes for liturgical translation at the time. In a certain way, the translational differences between the MBP …

Augustine’S Account Of His Personal Conversion To God In The Confessions (Part I), Thomas Sherman Feb 2026

Augustine’S Account Of His Personal Conversion To God In The Confessions (Part I), Thomas Sherman

Landas

This essay reads St. Augustine’s Confessions as a deeply personal account of conversion to God encompassing intellectual, moral, and affective dimensions. Grace leads Augustine to recognize the truth of the Catholic faith, embrace it in his choices, and experience the joy that strengthens him to live according to it. His conversion culminates in his decision to receive baptism and pursue a life ordered by love of God. This first of two installments examines Augustine’s understanding of intellectual, moral, and emotional conversion across his writings, then traces his intellectual journey from Manichaeism and Academic skepticism toward the truth of the Catholic …
