Seismic Reliability Analysis of Highway Pile–Plate Structures Considering Dual Stochasticity of Parameters and Excitation via Probability Density Evolution by Liang Huang, Ge Li, Chaowei Du, Yujian Guan, Shizhan Xu, Shuaitao Li

“…For seismic excitation randomness, compared to structural parameter randomness, reliability at the 3.3% threshold decreases by 7.99%, reaching 92.01%. Dual randomness amplifies the variability of structural response, reducing reliability to 86.38% and 62%, with a maximum difference of 20.5% compared to single-factor scenarios. …”

Mapping the hippocampal spatial proteomic signature in male and female mice of an early Alzheimer’s disease model by Ana Contreras, Raquel Jiménez-Herrera, Souhail Djebari, Juan D. Navarro-López, Lydia Jiménez-Díaz

“…Abstract Background Hippocampal dysfunction induced by soluble amyloid-β oligomers (oAβ) is an early neuropathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). oAβ shifts hippocampal synaptic-plasticity induction threshold facilitating long-term depression (LTD) instead of long-term potentiation (LTP, the functional basis of memory), thereby leading to memory deficits in early AD-like amyloidosis mouse models. …”

KDM6A facilitates Xist upregulation at the onset of X inactivation by Josephine Lin, Jinli Zhang, Li Ma, He Fang, Rui Ma, Camille Groneck, Galina N. Filippova, Xinxian Deng, Chizuru Kinoshita, Jessica E. Young, Wenxiu Ma, Christine M. Disteche, Joel B. Berletch

“…KDM6A mutations have been implicated in congenital disorders such as Kabuki Syndrome, as well as in sex differences in development and cancer. Methods Kdm6a was knocked out (KO) using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in hybrid female mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells derived either from a 129 × Mus castaneus (cast) cross or a BL6 x cast cross. …”

ENIGMA’s advanced guide for parcellation error identification (EAGLE-I): An implementation in the context of brain lesions by Evelyn Deutscher, Emily Dennis, Jake Burnett, Lyndon Firman-Sadler, Annalee L.

Radwan, Phoebe Imms, Adam Clemente, Paul Beech, Mohammadreza Mohebbi, Alex Burmester, Juan F Domínguez D, Neda Jahanshad, Sophia I. Thomopoulos, Paul M. Thompson, Karen Caeyenberghs

“…However, previous QC methods have applied somewhat ambiguous rules for region error identification and inconsistent thresholds for image quality ratings.We developed ENIGMA’s Advanced Guide for parceLlation Error Identification (EAGLE-I) - a detailed training resource for identifying, classifying, and recording different error types within each individual region.Region level errors are identified by: (a) type, unconnected (affecting a single ROI) or connected (affecting multiple ROIs); (b) size (minor, intermediate, or major); and (c) directionality, overestimation or underestimation.Region level errors are recorded on a user friendly customised spreadsheet with standardised coding that subsequently enables automatic calculation of brain quality rating (pass, minor error, major error, fail, or discuss).…”

Investigating soil mesofauna cryptic diversity: Current challenges and perspectives by Margarita A. Danilova, Elena Y. Zvychaynaya, Polina A. Guseva, Andrey S. Zaitsev

“…Our analysis revealed taxon‐specific thresholds: while COI divergences greater than 3% typically indicate cryptic species in collembolans, higher thresholds appear justified for mites (up to 17%) and enchytraeids (up to 5%) when supported by conserved nuclear markers (28S/H3), ecological or geographic coherence and the absence of intermediate forms. …”
