Infant mortality across species. A global probe of congenital abnormalities [PDF]
, 2019 Infant mortality, by which we understand the postnatal stage during which mortality is declining, is a manifestation and embodiment of congenital abnormalities. Severe defects will translate into death occurring shortly after birth whereas slighter anomalies may contribute to death much later, possibly only in adult age.

A review of the sufficient conditions for consciousness [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 How subjective experience (i.e., consciousness) arises out of objective material processes has been called the hard problem. The neuroscience of consciousness has set out to find the sufficient conditions for consciousness and theoretical and empirical endeavours have placed a particular focus on the cortex and subcortex, whilst discounting the ...

A discrete event system specification (DEVS)-based model of consanguinity [PDF]
Journal of theoretical biology, 285(1), 103-112 (2011), 2017 Consanguinity or inter-cousin marriage is a phenomenon quite prevalent in certain regions around the globe. Consanguineous parents have a higher risk of having offspring with congenital disorders. It is difficult to model large scale consanguineous parental populations because of disparate cultural issues unique to regions and cultures across the globe.

A link between solar events and congenital malformations: Is ionizing radiation enough to explain it? [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics 120.3, 1537-1542
(2015), 2015 Cosmic rays are known to cause biological effects directly and through ionizing radiation produced by their secondaries. These effects have been detected in airline crews and other specific cases where members of the population are exposed to above average secondary fluxes.
