Tropical forests are a dominant regulator of the global carbon cycle, exchanging more carbon dioxide with the atmosphere than any other terrestrial biome. Climate models predict unprecedented climatic warming in tropical regions in the coming decades; however, in situ field warming studies are severely lacking in tropical forests. Here we present results from an in situ warming experiment in Puerto Rico, where soil respiration responses to +4 oC warming were assessed half-hourly for a year. Soil respiration rates were 42-204% higher in warmed relative to ambient plots, representing some of the highest soil respiration rates reported for any …


A Case For Military Proportionality: Disabling Nuclear Plants, Henry Sokolski Sep 2025

A Case For Military Proportionality: Disabling Nuclear Plants, Henry Sokolski

The US Army War College Quarterly: Parameters

This special commentary argues that striking nuclear and other hazardous civilian infrastructure is often militarily counterproductive and should be avoided not just for legal and moral reasons but because strikes can defeat achieving one’s war aims. Unlike most commentaries, which treat proportionality as an abstract legal constraint, this article shows how proportionality can serve as a concrete tool for winning wars and maintaining alliances. The article draws on military history, current targeting doctrines, and recent war games. The analysis gives military planners practical guidance for how and why to disable certain civilian targets without undermining their own operations.


Notch1 Reverses Immune Suppression In Small Cell Lung Cancer Through Reactivation Of Sting, Yoo Sun Kim, Haobin Chen, Et Al. Sep 2025

Notch1 Reverses Immune Suppression In Small Cell Lung Cancer Through Reactivation Of Sting, Yoo Sun Kim, Haobin Chen, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Downregulation of antigen presentation and lack of immune infiltration are defining features of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), limiting response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). While a high-MHC class I, immune-inflamed subset benefits from ICB, underlying mechanisms of immune response in SCLC have yet to be elucidated. Here we show that in the IMpower133 clinical trial, high, but not low, NOTCH1 expression was significantly associated with longer survival with the addition of ICB to chemotherapy among approximately 80% of SCLC patients with NE-enriched tumors (ASCL1-enriched, HR 0.39, P = 0.0012; NEUROD1-enriched, HR 0.44, P = 0.024). Overexpression or pharmacologic activation …

Despite the success of targeted inhibitors in cutaneous melanoma, therapeutic responses are limited by the aged tumor microenvironment and drug-tolerant residual cells. Given the similarities between drug tolerance and cellular dormancy, we studied the dormancy marker, nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 1 (NR2F1), in response to BRAF-V600E inhibitors (BRAFi) plus MEK inhibitors (MEKi) in BRAF-mutant melanoma models. Transcriptomic analysis of melanoma patient samples treated with BRAFi + MEKi showed increased NR2F1. NR2F1 was highly expressed in the drug-tolerant invasive cell state of minimal residual disease in patient-derived and mouse-derived xenografts on BRAFi + MEKi. NR2F1 over-expression was sufficient …

A Comparison Of Whole-Brain Dose During Stereotactic Radiosurgery For Multiple Metastases Across Technology Platforms, Alonso Gutierrez Sep 2025

A Comparison Of Whole-Brain Dose During Stereotactic Radiosurgery For Multiple Metastases Across Technology Platforms, Alonso Gutierrez

All Publications

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is now the gold standard radiation technique for the treatment of multiple brain metastases. By virtue of its targeting accuracy, SRS, relative to whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT), maximizes both the likelihood of tumor ablation while minimizing irradiation (injury) of the uninvolved brain. The extent to which the latter objective is accomplished varies among radiosurgery platforms. In this study, we used a standardized imaging dataset taken from a patient with 10 random brain metastases to calculate the radiation dose delivered to the uninvolved normal brain across a range of modern SRS delivery platforms. This analysis reveals that irradiation of …


Long-Term Behavior Of Subordinated Branching Processes With Prevailing Emigration, George Yanev Sep 2025

Long-Term Behavior Of Subordinated Branching Processes With Prevailing Emigration, George Yanev

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications

This paper deals into the long-term behavior of subordinated critical branching processes with migration. We focus on scenarios where emi­gration is the dominant factor and introduce additional randomness in timing through a subordination mechanism, involving renewal processes. The key findings highlight how the initial population size and the interar­rival mean time influence both asymptotic behavior of the non-extinction probability and corresponding Yaglom type limit theorems. We also study an alternating regenerative process, when the population cycles between zero and positive states. This research complements previous studies for processes when immigration prevails over emigration.

Longitudinal Association Of Fatigue With Cytokines Over The Course Of Hematologic Cancer Treatment, Heeju Kim, Joon Ho Moon, Tenko Raykov Sep 2025

Longitudinal Association Of Fatigue With Cytokines Over The Course Of Hematologic Cancer Treatment, Heeju Kim, Joon Ho Moon, Tenko Raykov

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Background: Assessing and managing symptom is a core role of oncology nurses. Fatigue is the most common and distressing symptoms in cancer patients. Mechanism-specific interventions are not currently available and most interventions are supportive care, such as exercise. Its pathophysiological mechanisms are still unclear, complex and multifactorial. A plausible hypothetical mechanisms is the pro-inflammatory cytokines dysregulation hypothesis. Yet, the evidence for which cytokines and what time point would play a role in fatigue experience is uncertain at this time point due to design issues of the studies.

Objectives: We examined (a) the patterns of changes in fatigue severity during chemotherapy …

The Potential Benefits Of Co-Design In Dog-Assisted Treatment Programs For Veterans Seeking Mental Health Care, Parvin (Pary) Bahmanyari, Pauleen Bennett, Tiffani Howell

People and Animals: The International Journal of Research and Practice

Veterans are more likely than the general population to experience a range of mental health problems. While many veteran mental health support programs are available, veterans may struggle to access and engage with these services for various reasons (e.g., a stigmatized perception of mental health disorders, mistrust). Animal-assisted services have become more popular in civilian and military health care settings where traditional therapies (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy) may not always be effective. Assistance dogs, for example, which live with veterans to provide disability support, have been successfully employed for veteran mental health. Unfortunately, a subgroup of veterans may miss out …
