Comparative Sensitivity of MRI Indices for Myelin Assessment in Spinal Cord Regions by Philip Kyeremeh Jnr Oppong, Hiroyuki Hamaguchi, Maho Kitagawa, Nina Patzke, Kevin C. Wakeman, Khin Khin Tha

“…Quantitative indices known to be sensitive to myelin, including the myelin water fraction (MWF), magnetization transfer ratio (MTR), the signal ratio between T1- and T2-weighted images (T1W/T2W), fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), electrical conductivity (σ), and T1, T2, and T1ρ relaxation times were calculated. Their mean values were compared using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc Bonferroni tests or Friedman and post hoc Wilcoxon tests to identify differences across GM and WM columns possessing distinct myelin distributions, as revealed by histological analysis. …”

MHD radiative mixed convective flow of a sodium alginate-based hybrid nanofluid over a convectively heated extending sheet with Joule heating by Yasmin Humaira, Bossly Rawan, Alduais Fuad S., Al-Bossly Afrah, Saeed Anwar

“…Inspired by the progressive properties of the non-Newtonian Casson fluid and its applied significance in the rheological modeling and heat transfer characteristics of different dynamic fluids, there is limited knowledge of their response in the mixed convective flow, particularly when influenced by factors like thermal radiation, joule heating, and thermal relaxation time. The present study aims to investigate the heat transfer enhancement of the mixed convective flow of a sodium alginate-based hybrid nanofluid on an extending sheet concentrating on the interaction of different physical parameters that affect thermal performance. …”

Domestication of different varieties in the cheese-making fungus Geotrichum candidum by Bennetot, Bastien, Vernadet, Jean-Philippe, Perkins, Vincent, Hautefeuille, Sophie, Rodríguez de la Vega, Ricardo C., O’Donnell, Samuel, Snirc, Alodie, Grondin, Cécile, Lessard, Marie-Hélène, Peron, Anne-Claire, Labrie, Steve, Landaud, Sophie, Giraud, Tatiana, Ropars, Jeanne

“…Cheese populations lacked two beta lactamase-like genes present in the wild clade, involved in xenobiotic clearance, and displayed higher contents of transposable elements, likely due to relaxed selection. Our findings suggest the existence of genuine domestication in G. candidum, which led to diversification into different varieties with contrasted phenotypes. …”
