Evaluation of sex-based differences in below-the-knee plaque histology in patients who underwent amputation for chronic limb-threatening ischemia by Fouzul Kansul, Deborah Vela, MD, Judit Csore, MD, Bright Benfor, MD, Sasha Suarez, MD, Anahita Dua, MD, MBA, MSC, Trisha L. Roy, MD, PhD

“…Results: Male and female patients were remarkably similar across multiple plaque characteristics, including degree of stenosis, calcification severity and localization, and atherosclerotic patterns. A significant sex-based difference was noted in the presence of luminal thrombus, which was more prevalent in females (38.7% vs 25.0%; P = .016). …”

Nitrogen addition promotes the coupling of deep soil carbon and nitrogen under different vegetation restoration types in the Chinese Loess Plateau by Shihao Gong, Xiaoxia Zhang, Hengshuo Zhang, Lianwei Gao, Tonggang Zha

“…A one-year N addition experiment was conducted to analyze C-N coupling conditions of different vegetation restoration types, and soil properties in the 0 – 100 cm layer, litter traits, and rainfall distribution characteristics were measured and compared during the growing season. (1) Soil C and N in artificial forests decoupled with increasing soil depth, while soil C and N were highly coupled among all soil depths in natural forest. (2) N addition had a greater effect on deep soil nutrient accumulation compared to topsoil. (3) N addition decreases the rates of change of deep soil N, which, in turn, enhanced the C and N coupling. (4) Moreover, further analyses with a structural equation model showed that summer precipitation is the key regulator of soil C:N ratio in topsoil. …”

Developmental Variation of Indian Thermophilic Variety of Scuttle Fly Megaselia (Megaselia) scalaris (Loew, 1866) (Diptera: Phoridae) on Different Substrates by Abesh Chakraborty, Atanu Naskar, Panchanan Parui, Dhriti Banerjee

“…Results showed that there was a significant variation in avg. length (F(2,111)=15.79873, p=0.000000917), width (F(2,111)=14.60528, p=0.00000234), and biomass (F(2,111)=37.01727, p=0.000000000000482) of the immature stages in the three media and the larvae grow maximally in the SMS medium. The results of the present study thus provide baseline data on the growth and developmental pattern of the Megaselia (M.) scalaris, which can be utilized in conjunction with specific geoclimatic reference data, for forensic entomological studies and also for using the phorid as a biocontrol agent of pestiferous insects.…”

“…The third experiment evaluated the cumulative records for percent (%) accuracy and reaction times (RTs) for students with and without disabilities to examine patterns in visual attentional performance. The fourth experiment disaggregated the students with disabilities and examined their patterns in visual attentional performance.ResultsThe results showed the Flanker Task was sensitive in detecting differences in students’ visual attention performance between noisy and controlled environments differentiated students with and without disabilities. …”

Emerging evidence for apical dominance in colonial branching Acropora corals by Eleonora Re, Carlos M. Duarte

“…Further long-term experiments are needed to capture morphometric changes in slow-growing species, such as A. hemprichii. These findings suggest novel endogenous mechanisms coordinating complex three-dimensional morphogenesis in clonal organisms and offer valuable application in the growing field of coral farming and restoration.…”

Spatio-temporal evolution analysis of coupling coordination of green finance, digital economy, and carbon emission intensity in the Yangtze River Economic Belt by Yue-Yue Sui, Xing-Fu Zhang

“…Therefore, to promote sustainable economic development, it is necessary to promote GF, DIEC, and CEI in an integrated way, and there are relatively few studies on the synergistic promotion of these three aspects.MethodsUsing the entropy method, the coupling coordination degree model (CCDM), and the spatial analysis method, this study thoroughly examines the spatio-temporal pattern of the coupling and coordination of GF, DIEC, and CEI in the Yangtze River Economic Belt using panel data from 11 provinces in the region from 2013 to 2022.ResultsThe findings demonstrate that: (1) The Yangtze River Economic Belt’s general extent of GF and DIEC advancement is increasing, and the DIEC’s level exhibits a pattern of a declining gradient from the downstream to the upstream areas. (2) The Yangtze River Economic Belt’s CEI is on the decline, with the upstream region having a higher CEI than the middle and downstream regions. (3) Although there is regional diversity, the Yangtze River Economic Belt’s three systems exhibit a growing trend in connection and coordination degree. (4) The Yangtze River Economic Zone shows a declining trend in the spatial difference in the coupling coordination degree (CCD) of the three systems(overall Gini coefficient reduced by 31% from 2013 to 2022), with the upstream showing the smallest discrepancy and the downstream showing the biggest. …”
