ARKENSTONE – I. A novel method for robustly capturing high specific energy outflows in cosmological simulations

Article describes how ARKENSTONE is a new model for multiphase, stellar feedback-driven galactic winds designed for inclusion in coarse resolution cosmological simulations. In this first paper of a series, the authors describe the features that allow ARKENSTONE to properly treat high specific energy wind components and demonstrate them using idealized non-cosmological simulations of a galaxy with a realistic circumgalactic medium (CGM) using the AREPO code.

Detergent-Based Decellularization for Anisotropic Cardiac-Specific Extracellular Matrix Scaffold Generation (open access)

Detergent-Based Decellularization for Anisotropic Cardiac-Specific Extracellular Matrix Scaffold Generation

Article describes how cell-derived extracellular matrix has become increasingly popular in tissue engineering applications due to its ability to provide tailored signals for desirable cellular responses. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of two detergent-based decellularization methods: a combination of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and sodium dodecyl sulfate and a combination of sodium deoxycholate and deoxyribonuclease.

First-principles property assessment of hybrid formate perovskites (open access)

First-principles property assessment of hybrid formate perovskites

Article discusses how hybrid organic–inorganic formate perovskites, AB(HCOO)3, are a large family of compounds that exhibit a variety of phase transitions and diverse properties, such as (anti)ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity, (anti)ferromagnetism, and multiferroism. While many properties of these materials have already been characterized, the authors seek to focus on the comprehensive property assessment of a large number of formate perovskites.

High-Throughput Investigation of Multiscale Deformation Mechanism in Additively Manufactured Ni Superalloy (open access)

High-Throughput Investigation of Multiscale Deformation Mechanism in Additively Manufactured Ni Superalloy

Article discusses how, in this paper, Inconel 718 (IN718) superalloy was processed by laser powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing (L-PBFAM), followed by heat treatment. Evidence of extensive deformation of twin networks and dislocation cells was revealed by transmission electron microscopy of the deformed region under the nanoindentation tip.

A Highly Contiguous and Annotated Genome Assembly of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) (open access)

A Highly Contiguous and Annotated Genome Assembly of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus)

Article asserts that the Lesser Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus; LEPC) is an iconic North American prairie grouse, renowned for ornate and spectacular breeding season displays, a species that has been declining in population across much of its historical range, with corresponding precipitous declines in contemporary population abundance, largely due to climatic and anthropogenic factors. The authors describe an annotated reference genome that was generated from a LEPC sample collected from the southern DPS.

A Low-Power Wireless System for Predicting Early Signs of Sudden Cardiac Arrest Incorporating an Optimized CNN Model Implemented on NVIDIA Jetson (open access)

A Low-Power Wireless System for Predicting Early Signs of Sudden Cardiac Arrest Incorporating an Optimized CNN Model Implemented on NVIDIA Jetson

Article discusses the low survival rate of sudden cardiac arrest and its long-term risks that patients may experience. Authors propose a more effective method of recording and reporting sudden cardiac arrest symptoms so preventative measures may be instated earlier on to increase survival rate.

Navigating Privacy and Data Safety: The Implications of Increased Online Activity among Older Adults Post-COVID-19 Induced Isolation (open access)

Navigating Privacy and Data Safety: The Implications of Increased Online Activity among Older Adults Post-COVID-19 Induced Isolation

Article asserts that the COVID-19 pandemic spurred older adults to use information and communication technology (ICT) for maintaining connections and engagement during social distancing. This paper highlights the gap in the literature regarding the increased privacy and data security risks for older adults adopting technology due to isolation during the pandemic.

Time-resolved systems analysis of the induction of high photosynthetic capacity in Arabidopsis during acclimation to high light (open access)

Time-resolved systems analysis of the induction of high photosynthetic capacity in Arabidopsis during acclimation to high light

Article describes how induction of high photosynthetic capacity is a key acclimation response to high light for many herbaceous dicot plants. Here, a systems biology approach was utilized to characterize the induction of high photosynthetic capacity in strongly and weakly acclimating Arabidopsis thaliana accessions.

To entrepreneur or not to entrepreneur? How identity discrepancies influence enthusiasm for academic entrepreneurship (open access)

To entrepreneur or not to entrepreneur? How identity discrepancies influence enthusiasm for academic entrepreneurship

Article discusses how recognizing the commercial potential of university-based inventions and discoveries, legislators and administrators have called upon academic scientists to become academic entrepreneurs. Few academic scientists are enthusiastic about taking on entrepreneurial activities, yet the intrinsic reasons for lack of enthusiasm are poorly understood. The authors extend the research by applying self-discrepancy theory to explore the role of future-oriented self and other guides on enthusiasm for academic entrepreneurship.
