Dynamics of salt intrusion in complex estuarine networks: an idealised model applied to the Rhine–Meuse Delta by B. Biemond, W. M. Kranenburg, W. M. Kranenburg, Y. Huismans, Y. Huismans, H. E. de Swart, H. A. Dijkstra

“…The effect of changes in the depth on the extent of salt intrusion strongly depends on where the change takes place. If the change is within the salt intrusion range, deepening will locally increase salt intrusion due to an increase in salt transport by the exchange flow. …”

Estimation of Tree Vitality Reduced by Pine Needle Disease Using Multispectral Drone Images by Langning Huo, Iryna Matsiakh, Jonas Bohlin, Michelle Cleary

“…Results showed that several VIs had strong correlations with the needle retention level and were used to identify severely defoliated trees (<75% needle retention) with 0.71 overall classification accuracy, while the accuracy of detecting slightly defoliated trees (>75% needle retention) was very low. …”

Regulation of Hypoxia-Induced Cell Death in Human Tenocytes by Min Liang, Hannah R. Cornell, Nasim Zargar Baboldashti, Mark S. Thompson, Andrew J. Carr, Philippa A. Hulley

“…As a protective strategy for tenocytes at risk of hypoxic death we added prosurvival growth factors insulin or platelet rich plasma (PRP). Both agents strongly protected tenocytes from hypoxia-induced death over 48 h, suggesting possible efficacy in the acute postrupture tendon or integrating graft.…”

On the Formation of Planets in the Milky Way’s Thick Disk by Tim Hallatt, Eve J. Lee

“…One key difference between the two stellar populations is the time at which they emerged: thick-disk stars are the likely product of cosmic noon (redshift z ∼ 2), an era characterized by high star formation rate, massive and dense molecular clouds, and strong supersonic turbulence. Solving for the background radiation field in these early star-forming regions, we demonstrate that protoplanetary disks at cosmic noon experienced radiation fields up to ∼7 orders of magnitude more intense than in solar neighborhood conditions. …”

Exhibiting the West at the Paris Exposition of 1867: Towards a New American Aesthetic Identity? by François Brunet, Jessica Talley

“…In the context of this Exposition western photography, natural specimens and material culture of the post-Civil War era contributed to renovating the French and European view of America—substituting specific objects and pictures for an abstract idea and creating, for the first time perhaps, a strong aesthetic appeal for American pictures that were no longer the clichés understood by the phrase “American images.”…”

The effects of emotional eating and negative framing on healthy food choices: a quasi-experimental study on college student participants using virtual reality by Mesy Safira Br Sembiring, Anna Undarwati

“…The results showed that negatively framed messages had a significant influence on healthy food choices, although the effect was not very strong. In contrast, emotional eating showed no significant influence on healthy food choices. …”

Cerebrospinal fluid and serum cytokine profiles in severe viral encephalitis with implications for refractory status epilepticus: a retrospective observational study by Peipei Huang, Fan Yang, Ruirui Dong, Lijun Wen, Qiuling Zang, Dandan Song, Junshuang Guo, Yating Wang, Ruike Zhang, Zhiping Ren, Jinjin Qin, Junfang Teng, Wang Miao

“…CSF IL-8 and age were independent risk factors for RSE, with clinical utility.ConclusionsPatients with SVE exhibit intrathecal cytokine storms, primarily characterized by elevated levels of IL-6 and IL-8, which influence prognosis. The strong and persistent hyperinflammation underscored by CSF IL-6 and IL-8 is associated with the occurrence and development of RSE; thus, CSF IL-8 and age are independent risk factors for SVE with RSE, indicating potential anti-inflammatory intervention targets.…”
