Crafting the Future: Developing Graduate Programs Aligned With Demographic Trends

New Directions for Teaching and Learning, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to changing student demographics and increasing budget constraints, many colleges and universities are reevaluating their graduate education strategies. While some institutions are striving to save costs via program cuts and layoffs, others are refocusing attention on student recruitment, specifically targeting working adults as a ...

Presence of Nationally Banned Carbamates and Organophosphate Pesticides in Wild Carnivores, Southeastern Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As top predators, terrestrial carnivores face great risk of pesticide exposure and serve as sentinels of environmental contamination. Additionally, terrestrial carnivores are frequently threatened by intentional or secondary poisoning with highly toxic compounds, such as carbamates and organophosphates.

DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.

Enhancing hotspot mapping of illegal wild meat trade in Kenya through market surveys and confiscated meat analyses

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Illegal trade of wild meat pose a severe threat to the survival of wildlife populations. The decline in the number of some species has been directly linked to these illegal activities. Poachers and traders of illegal wild meat products often mask them as livestock meat to sell to consumers who may or may not be complicit.

Analysis of the Internal Anatomy of Distal Root Canals of Mandibular Molars: A Micro‐Computed Tomography Study

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Detailed knowledge of the internal anatomy of the root canal system and its variations is essential for selecting appropriate endodontic treatment protocols. Micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) allows for nondestructive, high‐resolution three‐dimensional (3D) analysis of extracted teeth, enabling precise evaluation of root canal morphology ...

Characterization of a Portable Computed Tomography System for In Situ Analysis of Wooden Sculptures in Cultural Heritage

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Portable X‐ray computed tomography (portable CT) has become an important tool for the non‐destructive investigation of cultural heritage objects, particularly when in situ analysis is required. This work presents the experimental characterization and application of a transportable cone‐beam CT system designed for the inspection of large and ...

A Low‐Power Radioisotope XRF Spectrometer for Detection of Light Elements on Planetary Missions

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current X‐ray spectrometers for in situ geochemical analysis on planetary missions typically rely either on X‐ray tubes, which demand electrical power and add mass and thermal complexity, or on alpha particle X‐ray spectrometers (APXS) that use rare 244Cm$$ {}^{244}\mathrm{Cm} $$ sources, and come with severe concerns on radiation safety and ...

Multielemental Analysis in Rice Grains by Total Reflection X‐Ray Fluorescence

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice (Oryza sativa) is a staple food cultivated worldwide and represents a significant source of essential nutrients for humans. However, this cereal may also contain potentially toxic elements including chromium, arsenic, and lead typically present at trace concentrations (ng.g−1).

Alteration of X‐Ray Emission Band Spectrum Under Bragg Diffraction

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We use a Zr/Si multilayer presenting a gradient of period to probe the shape of the Si L2,3 emission band (maximum around 92 eV) in and out of Bragg conditions. The sample was prepared by magnetron sputtering and its reflectance measured in the photon energy range of interest with synchrotron radiation.
