Dispersal is a highly variable trait influenced by life history and ecological factors, affecting gene flow when dispersers successfully reproduce. Anadromous salmonids, with their diverse migratory strategies and ecological traits, serve as an ideal model for studying dispersal evolution, showca ...

Organophosphate esters (OPEs) raise growing environmental and human health concerns globally. However, numerous novel OPEs lack data on physicochemical properties, which are essential for assessing environmental fate, exposure, and risks. This study predicted water solubility (Sw), vapor pressure (Vp), octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow), and octano ...

Aging in place is an important environmental consideration in gerontology from the standpoint of research and aging individuals. While the majority of aging adults in the U.S. prefer aging in place to relocating to different environments (e.g., retirement communities, cohabitation with adult children), many barriers prevent this outcome. For example, for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cavitary bone defects, defined as a volumetric loss of native bone tissue, require accurate preoperative imaging for treatment planning. While CT (computed tomography) has traditionally been the gold standard for segmentation due to its superior resolution of cortical bone, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) offers unique advantages, particularly in visuali ...
