Agriculture is a cornerstone of global food production, accounting for a substantial portion of water withdrawals worldwide. As the world's population grows, so does the demand for water in agriculture, leading to alterations in regional water-energy balances. We present an approach to identify the influence of agriculture on the water-energy balance ...

Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), a subclinical measure of cardiovascular disease (CVD) that can be assessed on vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) images during osteoporosis screening, is reported to be a falls risk factor. A limitation to incorporating AAC clinically is that its scoring req ...

Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) and cerebral pulsatility (CP) are important indicators of cerebrovascular health, which are associated with physical activity (PA). While sex differences influence the impact of PA on cerebrovascular health, sex-specific effects of PA intensity and dose on CP and CVR remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the sex-sp ...

Astrology, magic, and other psychic healing practices are undergoing a cultural revival, notably among those on the Left who employ it as a language for social justice. Queer practitioners have claimed kinship with the occult through a perceived shared abjection, deeming it an inherently queer resource for self- and community empowerment, and naming anti- ...

Using a Canadian sample of 146 interns surveyed on three occasions (i.e., before, during, and after their internship experiences), we investigated university students' skills and intentions as critical factors contributing to high-quality intern-supervisor exchanges. Specifically, we sought to better understand how to promote high-quality intern-super ...

Mineral carbonation is a prominent method for carbon sequestration. Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is trapped as mineral carbonate precipitates, which are geochemically, geologically, and thermodynamically stable. Carbonate rocks can originate from biogenic or abiogenic origin, whereby the former refers to the breakdown of biofragments and the latter pr ...

Osmotic energy provides an emerging renewable alternative by leveraging the salinity gradient between two solutions. Among these technologies, pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) has attracted attention; however, its deployment is hindered by obstacles resulting from impurities in feed and draw solutions and lack of suitable membranes. This review explores th ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) preprocessing is a critical step for neuroimaging analysis. However, the computational cost of MRI preprocessing pipelines is a major bottleneck for large cohort studies and some clinical applications. While high-performance computing and, more recently, deep learning have been adopted to accelerate the computations, these ...
