Introduction: Pain in lower back is a common condition reported by astronauts, both during and after space missions. Investigating the alterations in the spine and the mechanisms driving these changes is essential for a deeper understanding of how microgravity impacts the human spine. This knowle ...

In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in accurately quantifying the ion's transference number within molten salts. Surprisingly, despite efforts to address the severe lack of experimental data, there is still no reliable theoretical framework that establishes a clear link between the transference number and simulated phase trajectories th ...

A small genome in chloroplasts encodes many of the polypeptide subunits of the photosynthetic electron transport complexes embedded in the membranes of thylakoid vesicles in the chloroplast stroma and synthesized by ribosomes of the bacterial-like genetic system of this semiautonomous organelle. While thylakoid membranes are sites of translation, evidence ...

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 ...

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 ...
