Element Geochemical Analysis of the Contribution of Aeolian Sand to Suspended Sediment in Desert Stream Flash Floods by Xiaopeng Jia, Haibing Wang

“…The interaction of wind and water in semiarid and arid areas usually leads to low-frequency flash flood events in desert rivers, which have adverse effects on river systems and ecology. In arid zones, many aeolian dune-fields terminate in stream channels and deliver aeolian sand to the channels. …”

Malignant Bowel Obstruction in Advanced Gynecologic Cancers: An Updated Review from a Multidisciplinary Perspective by Yeh Chen Lee, Nazlin Jivraj, Catherine O’Brien, Tanya Chawla, Eran Shlomovitz, Sarah Buchanan, Jenny Lau, Jennifer Croke, Johane P. Allard, Preeti Dhar, Stephane Laframboise, Sarah E. Ferguson, Neesha Dhani, Marcus Butler, Pamela Ng, Terri Stuart-McEwan, Pamela Savage, Lisa Tinker, Amit M. Oza, Stephanie Lheureux

“…Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is a major complication in women with advanced gynecologic cancers which imposes a significant burden on patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems. Symptoms of MBO are challenging to palliate and result in progressive decompensation of already vulnerable patients with limited therapeutic options and a short prognosis. …”

Novel Arsenic Nanoparticles Are More Effective and Less Toxic than As (III) to Inhibit Extracellular and Intracellular Proliferation of Leishmania donovani by Sudipta Chakraborty, Kaushik Bhar, Sandip Saha, Rajarshi Chakrabarti, Anjali Pal, Anirban Siddhanta

“…Arsenic (III) at a relatively higher concentration (30 μg/mL) has been shown to have antileishmanial activity, but this concentration is reported to be toxic in several experimental mammalian systems. Nanosized metal (0) particles have been shown to be more effective than their higher oxidation state forms. …”

Spectral Analysis of Large Finite Element Problems by Optimization Methods by Luca Bergamaschi, Giuseppe Gambolati, Giorgio Pini

“…The “optimal” choice is the one that yields the same asymptotic convergence rate as the CG scheme applied to the solution of linear systems. Numerical results point out that the optimal βk leads to a very cost effective algorithm in terms of CPU time in all the sample problems presented. …”

Prenatal maternal stress in rats alters the epigenetic and transcriptomic landscape of the maternal-fetal interface across four generations by Stephanie E. King, Nicola A. Schatz, Olena Babenko, Yaroslav Ilnytskyy, Igor Kovalchuk, Gerlinde A. S. Metz

“…Here, we show in rats that PNMS has consequences for placental function and fetal brain development across four generations (F0-F3). Using a systems biology approach, comprehensive DNA methylation (DNAm), miRNA, and mRNA profiling revealed a moderate impact of PNMS in the F1 generation, but drastic changes in F2 and F3 generations, suggesting compounding effects of PNMS with each successive generation. …”
