    Abstract During the African Humid Period (AHP), much of the modern hyperarid Saharan desert was vegetated and covered with numerous lakes. In marine sediments off northwestern Africa, the AHP is represented by markedly reduced siliciclastic sediment flux between ~ 12.3 and 5.5 ka. Changes in the origin of this terrigenous sediment fraction can be constrained by sediment chemistry and radiogenic isotope tracers. At Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 658, Hole C (20°44.95'N, 18°34.85'W, 2263 mbsl), the neodymium (Nd) isotope composition of terrigenous detritus shows little variability throughout the last 25 kyr, indicating that the contributing geological terranes have not changed appreciably since the last glacial period. In contrast, there were large and abrupt changes in strontium (Sr) isotope ratios and chemical compositions associated with the AHP, during which 87Sr/86Sr ratios were markedly less radiogenic, and sediments show higher chemical indices of alteration. We show that sediment geochemical changes during the AHP cannot be attributed to changes in the source terranes, physical sorting, or intensity of chemical weathering. The low 87Sr/86Sr and high Sr concentrations of AHP-age samples also conflict with the interpretation of increased fine-grained, fluvially derived sediments. We propose that the most significant compositional changes at ODP 658C are due to the addition of an aluminosilicate component that has a highly altered major element signature but is enriched in soluble elements like Sr and magnesium (Mg) compared to aluminum (Al) and has low 87Sr/86Sr relative to local terrigenous source areas. We interpret these characteristics to reflect authigenic sediment supply from extensive North African paleolake basins that were prevalent during the AHP.

    Abstract The mouse oocyte expresses an M(r) 60,000 (p60) polypeptide that is associated with the first and second meiotic spindles. Immunoreactive p60 was not detectable in the meiotic spindles of male germ cells or in mitotic spindles. P60 was identified with a polyclonal antibody whose predominant activity is directed against ankyrin. However, immunoadsorption experiments demonstrated that p60 is not an ankyrin isoform and represents a secondary activity of the polyclonal antibody. Circumstantial evidence suggest that p60 may be a microtubule-associated protein. Since the most obvious difference between the female meiotic spindle and other spindles is the long half-life of the former, we hypothesize that p60 may function in the maintenance of the long-lived female meiotic apparatus.

    Abstract Background: "Super-agers" are adults aged ≥80 with cognitive performance similar to persons two to three decades younger. Characteristics such as larger hippocampal volume, APOE-ε4 allele absence, higher educational attainment, female sex, and lifelong cognitive stimulation are associated with cognitive performance compatible with super-aging. These findings are based on predominantly white research samples. Limited data are available on African-American super-agers. To fill this gap, we explored potential factors associated with super-aging in older African-American adults.
    Methods: Data from African-American participants aged ≥80 in the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) dataset were analyzed. Using global Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scores, participants were first categorized as impaired (score ≥0.5) or non-impaired/normal cognition (NC) (score = 0). From the NC group, super-agers were identified using NACC-data-driven cutoffs. Participants were considered super-agers if their memory performance was similar to persons aged 50-60 with NC, and their performance on other domains was within one standard deviation of the mean for persons aged ≥80. We examined group characteristics (NC, super-ager, impaired) using chi-square and ANOVA with pairwise comparisons. Multinomial logistic regression, adjusted for sex and education, evaluated correlates of super-ager group assignment.
    Results: Data for 1285 African-American participants aged ≥80 were analyzed. We identified 24.7% (n = 316) NC, 4.8% (n = 61) super-agers, and 70.6% (n = 905) impaired. Super-agers were mostly female and more educated, had similar vascular comorbidities as the other groups, and had less sleep disorders, depression, and alcohol use. After adjusting for sex and education, super-ager group assignment was associated with less sleep disorders, less depression, and moderate alcohol use.
    Conclusions: Participants with controlled vascular risk, mental health, alcohol use, and sleep disorders tended to be in the super-ager group. These factors may be important focus areas in clinical practice to support cognitive resilience with aging in older African-American adults.

    Abstract In the United States, much has been learned about the determinants of longevity from survey data and aggregated tabulations. However, the lack of large-scale, individual-level administrative mortality records has proven to be a barrier to further progress. We introduce the CenSoc datasets, which link the complete-count 1940 U.S. Census to Social Security mortality records. These datasets-CenSoc-DMF (N = 4.7 million) and CenSoc-Numident (N = 7.0 million)-primarily cover deaths among individuals aged 65 and older. The size and richness of CenSoc allows investigators to make new discoveries into geographic, racial, and class-based disparities in old-age mortality in the United States. This article gives an overview of the technical steps taken to construct these datasets, validates them using external aggregate mortality data, and discusses best practices for working with these datasets. The CenSoc datasets are publicly available, enabling new avenues of research into the determinants of mortality disparities in the United States.

    Abstract Recent studies have identified Northeast Africa as an important area for human movements during the Holocene. Eurasian populations have moved back into Northeastern Africa and contributed to the genetic composition of its people. By gathering the largest reference dataset to date of Northeast, North, and East African as well as Middle Eastern populations, we give new depth to our knowledge of Northeast African demographic history. By employing local ancestry methods, we isolated the Non-African parts of modern-day Northeast African genomes and identified the best putative source populations. Egyptians and Sudanese Copts bore most similarities to Levantine populations whilst other populations in the region generally had predominantly genetic contributions from the Arabian peninsula rather than Levantine populations for their Non-African genetic component. We also date admixture events and investigated which factors influenced the date of admixture and find that major linguistic families were associated with the date of Eurasian admixture. Taken as a whole we detect complex patterns of admixture and diverse origins of Eurasian admixture in Northeast African populations of today.

    Abstract Survival analysis, the art of time-to-event modeling, plays an important role in clinical treatment decisions. Recently, continuous time models built from neural ODEs have been proposed for survival analysis. However, the training of neural ODEs is slow due to the high computational complexity of neural ODE solvers. Here, we propose an efficient alternative for flexible continuous time models, called Survival Mixture Density Networks (Survival MDNs). Survival MDN applies an invertible positive function to the output of Mixture Density Networks (MDNs). While MDNs produce flexible real-valued distributions, the invertible positive function maps the model into the time-domain while preserving a tractable density. Using four datasets, we show that Survival MDN performs better than, or similarly to continuous and discrete time baselines on concordance, integrated Brier score and integrated binomial log-likelihood. Meanwhile, Survival MDNs are also faster than ODE-based models and circumvent binning issues in discrete models.
