The effects of soil compaction on wheat seedling root growth are specific to soil texture and soil moisture status (2023)
Journal Article

Soil structure is a crucial soil physical property that determines a soil's ability to support the growth and development of plants. Soil compaction modifies soil structure by reducing pore space between soil particles thereby leading to a denser soi...

Investigating methods to quantifying uncertainty in PM2.5 emission rates from cooking by toasting bread (2023)
Journal Article

Exposure to airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is linked to multiple negative health effects and indoor sources are important contributors to personal exposure. Cooking is a common indoor source, but reported emission rates have high variabilit...

Differential Effects of Paraquat, Rotenone, and MPTP on Cellular Bioenergetics of Undifferentiated and Differentiated Human Neuroblastoma Cells (2023)
Journal Article

Paraquat (PQ), rotenone (RO), and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) are neurotoxicants that can damage human health. Exposure to these neurotoxicants has been linked to neurodegeneration, particularly Parkinson’s disease. However, t...

On-chip phonon-magnon reservoir for neuromorphic computing (2023)
Journal Article

Reservoir computing is a concept involving mapping signals onto a high-dimensional phase space of a dynamical system called “reservoir” for subsequent recognition by an artificial neural network. We implement this concept in a nanodevice consisting o... Read More about On-chip phonon-magnon reservoir for neuromorphic computing.

A caustic terminating at an inflection point (2023)
Journal Article

We present an asymptotic and numerical study of the evolution of an incoming wavefield which has a caustic close to a curve with an inflection point. Our results reveal the emergence of a wavefield which resembles that of a shadow boundary but has a... Read More about A caustic terminating at an inflection point.

Factors associated with nonattendance at annual diabetes check-up in Ningbo, China: a case-control study (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a grave issue in China. The annual check-up is recommended in clinical guidelines on T2DM. It plays an important role in monitoring and managing the condition and detecting and managing any comorbidities...
