Legacy Knowledge on Landscape Soil Carbon—Concentrated Organic Input to Selected Sites Comes With the Expense of Soil Health of Larger Areas

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Xu et al. show that high organic input and N‐balancing fertilization improve soil health at the soil plot scale; however, the effects of allocating C and N on soil health at the landscape or region scale are not considered. Historical soil management systems show that such a depletive redistribution leads to local agricultural improvements ...

Testing the factor structure of the International Trauma Questionnaire in a sample of violence‐exposed women living in Northern Ireland

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract The International Trauma Questionnaire (ITQ) assesses posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the disturbances in self‐organization (DSO) aspect of complex PTSD (CPTSD) per the ICD‐11. This study examined the ITQ's factor structure among violence‐ or abuse‐exposed women in Northern Ireland, a region with a history of conflict (i.e., “the ...

Lipofuscin: The Missing Link in the Worsening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Lipofuscin, also known as the age pigment, is a permanent autofluorescent intracellular deposit that accumulates with aging or oxidative stress, thereby interfering with cellular function. This study revealed significantly larger deposits of lipofuscin in the lateral pharyngeal wall muscles of patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) compared

Hydrogels Incorporating Donor–Acceptor Stenhouse Adducts as a Platform for Photoinduced, On‐Off Switchable Release of Small Molecule Cargos

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Donor–acceptor Stenhouse aDdducts (DASAs) are known for their photoinduced tautomerization, which, when conjugated to block copolymers, can self‐assemble into tuneable polymersomes. These DASA‐polymersomes are being investigated for light‐controlled cargo release in biomedical applications.
