Development and validation of a minimal SNP genotyping panel for the differentiation of Cannabis sativa cultivars by Alex Cull, David L. Joly

“…Conclusions Our key recommendations are to increase sampling density to account for intra-cultivar variability; leverage higher read length paired-end short-read technology; conduct in-depth pre- and post-processing of reads, mapping, and variant calling data; integrate trait-associated loci to develop multi-purpose panels; and use iterative approaches for in vitro validation to ensure that only the most discriminant and performant SNPs are retained.…”

Cognitive Aging Revisited: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the WAIS-5 by Emily L. Winter, Brittany A. Dale, Sachiko Maharjan, Cynthia R. Lando, Courtney M. Larsen, Troy Courville, Alan S. Kaufman

“…The sample included adult participants aged 20–24 through 85–90 (n = 1660), which were mapped into 11 age groups. Using post-stratification weighting to control for educational attainment, cognitive decline was observed throughout aging; verbal skills were maintained longer than other abilities, while processing speed declined steadily and rapidly from young adulthood to old age. …”

Design Guidelines for Material Extrusion of Metals (MEX/M) by Karim Asami, Mehar Prakash Reddy Medapati, Titus Rakow, Tim Röver, Claus Emmelmann

“…Benchmark parts were fabricated to examine geometric feasibility, such as minimum printable wall thickness, feature inclination angles, borehole precision, overhang stability, and achievable resolution of horizontal and vertical gaps. After fabrication, the as-built (green-state) components undergo a two-step thermal post-processing treatment involving binder removal (debinding), followed by sintering at elevated temperatures to reach densification. …”
