“…To test our hypothesis, seeds from ten <i>Festuca wagneri</i> and five <i>Festuca tomanii</i> individuals, selected based on aesthetic criteria, were sown in six different substrates: a sand–peat mixture, sand, coconut fiber, peat, coconut fiber–sand mixture, and native sandy soil (Calcaric Arenosol). Contrary to our expectations, the growth and germination rates of seeds sown in peat and coconut fiber substrates were higher than those in native sandy soil. …”

Plasma S100β is a predictor for pathology and cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease by Geetika Nehra, Bryan J. Maloney, Rebecca R. Smith, Wijitra Chumboatong, Erin L. Abner, Peter T. Nelson, Björn Bauer, Anika M. S. Hartz

“…Abstract Background Blood–brain barrier dysfunction is one characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is recognized as both a cause and consequence of the pathological cascade leading to cognitive decline. The goal of this study was to assess markers for barrier dysfunction in postmortem tissue samples from research participants who were either cognitively normal individuals (CNI) or diagnosed with AD at the time of autopsy and determine to what extent these markers are associated with AD neuropathologic changes (ADNC) and cognitive impairment. …”

Performance of RIS-Secured Short-Packet NOMA Systems With Discrete Phase-Shifter to Protect Digital Content and Copyright Against Untrusted User by Nguyen Quang Sang, Hye-Young Kim, Tan N. Nguyen, Minh Bui Vu, Phuong T. Tran, Tran Trung Duy, Byung-Seo Kim, Miroslav Voznak

“…In this strategy, untrustworthy users will be allocated higher power levels than trustworthy users, while the latter will be configured with sub-optimal phase shift criteria at RIS to maximize its cascaded channel gain. On this foundation, we derive closed-form expressions for the average block-error rate (BLER) to analyze the performance of trustworthy users as well as the average secure BLER to quantify the secure performance when untrustworthy users wiretap trustworthy users&#x2019; information using successive interference mechanisms. …”
