Impact of sleep insufficiency and recovery on cancer development

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Sleep plays a critical role in overall health, and modern lifestyles, such as shift work and late‐night activities, can significantly impact sleep condition. Insufficient sleep has been associated with various adverse health outcomes, including an increased risk of tumor development.

Hunger Free Higher Ed: A Statewide Approach to Food Security in Alabama

New Directions for Student Services, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents Hunger Free Higher Ed (HFHE), an initiative to address food insecurity among college students in Alabama. Through a six‐step, iterative process (Engage, Assess, Plan, Implement, Evaluate, and Celebrate), HFHE supports 30 two‐ and four‐year institutions in building sustainable campus coalitions, collecting data, and ...

Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

Valorization of grape seed residues post-oil extraction as an adsorbent for hexavalent chromium in water. Kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics, and techno-economic analysis

Energy Nexus
The objective of the present research was to valorize grape seed residues post-oil extraction (GSR-POE) obtained by pressing as a potential adsorbent of Cr (VI) from simulated aqueous solutions. For this, we first compared the removal of Cr (VI) by grape

Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.

Region‐of‐interest geometry optimization for shooting‐distance estimation from flash‐pulse infrared thermography of gunshot residue on textile targets

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Shooting‐distance estimation from gunshot‐residue (GSR) patterns on textiles is affected by substrate properties, residue distribution, and region‐of‐interest (ROI) definition. This study evaluated how ROI geometry influences muzzle‐to‐target distance regression from flash‐pulse infrared thermography of GSR‐related thermal patterns.

Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) signals reduced from Gayatri Mantra fire oblations during Yagya

Interdisciplinary Journal of Yagya Research, 2019
Galvanik skin response (GSR) is the measurement of the autonomic activation of sweat glands in the skin for depicting stress, emotional arousal and relaxation pattern. Yagya is a vedic ritual composed of various rhythmic chanting of mantra.

Serum‐Proteomic Profiling Reveals Distinct Atopic Dermatitis Severity‐Linked Signatures

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study aimed to identify a set of serum biomarkers that robustly distinguish prespecified severe from mild atopic dermatitis groups. Serum proteomic profiling distinguishes severe from mild atopic dermatitis, revealing an epithelial enriched severity footprint linked to LDH‐associated tissue injury and Th2/Th22 inflammation.

Mepolizumab Modifies Blood Eosinophil Proteome and Transcriptome in Severe Eosinophilic Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the effect of mepolizumab on the proteomic and transcriptomic profile of blood eosinophils in SEA patients. Mepolizumab reduces the migratory capacity and effector‐related molecular signatures of circulating eosinophils in SEA patients.
