1. Identification of Iodotyrosines as Novel Substrates for the Thyroid Hormone Transporter MCT8 

   Groeneweg, Stefan; Zevenbergen, Chantal; de Souza, Elaine C. Lima; et al. (2024)

   Thyroid

   Background: Monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) is the most specific thyroid hormone transporter identified to date, deficiency of which has been associated with severe intellectual and motor disability and abnormal serum thyroid function tests. However, it is presently unknown if MCT8, similar to other thyroid hormone transporters, also accepts additional substrates, and if disruption of their transport may contribute to the observed ...

2. The influence of uncertainty visualization on cognitive load in a safety- and time-critical decision-making task 

   Chakraborty, Suvodip; Kiefer, Peter; Raubal, Martin (2024)

   INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SCIENCE

   Decisions with spatial visualizations are often made under uncertainty and high time pressure. However, missing or improper representation of uncertainty can hamper the decision-making process. This paper investigates the impact of uncertainty visualization on cognitive load in the context of a safety-critical, time-sensitive decision-making task with a transportation system map. In a controlled experiment (n = 40) with a dual-task paradigm, ...

3. Seminatural areas act as reservoirs of genetic diversity for crop pollinators and natural enemies across Europe 

   Ortego, Joaquin; Albrecht, Matthias; Baldi, Andras; et al. (2024)

   CONSERVATION SCIENCE AND PRACTICE

   Despite increasing recognition of the importance of the multiple dimensions of biodiversity, including functional or genetic diversity as well as species diversity, most conservation studies on ecosystem service-providing insects focus on simple diversity measures such as species richness and abundance. In contrast, relatively little is known about the genetic diversity and resilience of pollinators or natural enemies of crop pests to ...

4. Time-Resolved Oxidation State Changes Are Key to Elucidating the Bifunctionality of Perovskite Catalysts for Oxygen Evolution and Reduction 

   Beall, Casey E.; Fabbri, Emiliana; Clark, Adam H.; et al. (2024)

   ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS

   In a unified regenerative fuel cell (URFC) or reversible fuel cell, the oxygen bifunctional catalyst must switch reversibly between the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), fuel cell mode, and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), electrolyzer mode. However, it is often unclear what effect alternating between ORR and OER has on the electrochemical behavior and physiochemical properties of the catalyst. Herein, operando X-ray absorption ...

5. Frequency Matters: Comparative Analysis of Low-Power FMCW Radars for Vital Sign Monitoring 

   Marty, Steven; Ronco, Andrea; Pantanella, Federico; et al. (2024)

   IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement

   Vital sign monitoring is a critical step in health assessment in clinical settings. A rising interest in contactless options is pushing for innovative solutions for heart rate (HR) and respiration rate (RR) estimation. Low-power millimeter-wave radars are emerging as a solution because of their invariance to lightning conditions, subject phenotype, and privacy guarantees. On the side, the robustness of radar-based systems is still a concern ...
