Exercise during 14 days of head down tilt bedrest attenuates motor unit impairments in older humans
Abstract Head‐down tilt bedrest (HDBR) models the effects of mechanical unloading on neuromuscular function. The efficacy of exercise in preserving motor unit (MU) function in older adults during HDBR remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of 14‐day HDBR on MU properties in older adults and the protective role of exercise.

Abstract Prolonged bed rest and immobilization have deleterious effects on skeletal muscle mass and function, especially in older adults. These can lead to reduced physical capacity and quality of life. Previous experiments in younger individuals show that exercise can mitigate these effects, but evidence remains scarce and inconclusive in older adults.

When Does Hope Drive Social Change? Empirical Insights and Their Policy Implications
ABSTRACT When and how does people's hope for change drive social transformation? This question has gained urgency amidst the profound sociopolitical crises of the 21st century, including escalating intergroup conflicts, accelerating environmental degradation, and mounting threats to democracy.

Abstract Zebrafish are a model organism used for the study of vertebrate development, disease, and drug discovery. Two‐day old zebrafish exhibit burst swimming behavior that can be elicited by a light touch to the tail. Motor touch responses are frequently video‐recorded and later analyzed by hand.

Abstract I propose the concept of delomization, the process whereby a sign comes to be understood as a symbol. I term such signs delomes. With rhematization and dicentization, delomization completes the triplet that linguistic anthropologists derive from Charles Sanders Peirce's third trichotomy.

ABSTRACT Background Diabetes and its risk factors are embedded in a complex multilevel ecology. Upstream factors (i.e., ‘forcing factors’ that refer to fundamental population‐based social, economic, and political structures shaping health outcomes long before disease develops) and downstream risk factors (i.e., the individual‐level characteristics and ...

Effects of Water Diversion on Hydrological and Vegetation Dynamics in a Downstream Wetland Ecosystem
Process‐based eco‐hydrologic model quantified the impact of water diversion on the hydrologic cycle and vegetation changes in the downstream wetland. Reproducibility of simulation results implies the model includes important factors associated with hydrologic change and vegetation succession.
