    Abstract Although irrigation water is a fundamental need for plant growth, it is also a source of pollutants if contaminated with harmful materials like cadmium (Cd). Irrigation water possessing abundant Cd causes damage to soil, plants, animals and ultimately human beings through the food chain. A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflora L.) potential of Cd accumulation and the capability of the plant to be an economically beneficial choice in presence of high Cd irrigation water supply. Artificially prepared four levels of Cd irrigation water were applied to the plants viz., 30, 60, 90 and 120 mg L

    Abstract Recordings from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) reflect the influence of pathways between brain areas. A wide range of methods have been proposed to measure this functional connectivity (FC), but the lack of "ground truth" has made it difficult to systematically validate them. Most measures of FC produce connectivity estimates that are symmetrical between brain areas. Differential covariance (dCov) is an algorithm for analyzing FC with directed graph edges. When we applied dCov to rs-fMRI recordings from the human connectome project (HCP) and anesthetized mice, dCov-FC accurately identified strong cortical connections from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) in individual humans and viral tract tracing in mice. In addition, those HCP subjects whose dCov-FCs were more integrated, as assessed by a graph-theoretic measure, tended to have shorter reaction times in several behavioral tests. Thus, dCov-FC was able to identify anatomically verified connectivity that yielded measures of brain integration significantly correlated with behavior.

    Abstract Resting state fMRI aims at establishing the functional relationship between two spatially distinct brain regions based on temporal correlation of the respective signals. The method has been applied to study functional connectivity (FC) across species and was found of special value for studies in mice fMRI studies due to its experimental simplicity, which allowed eliminating confounds typically observed in stimulus-evoked fMRI studies. Yet, analysis of fMRI data in animals face a number of problems. First, fMRI studies in mice typically require the use of anaesthetics, which are known to alter responses to stimuli or functional networks at rest. Proper interpretation of fMRI data collected in animals under anaesthesia animals requires investigation of the effects of these drugs on brain processing per se. Second, since fMRI analysis tools have been typically developed for processing of human fMRI data, translation to animals including mice may be challenging due to anatomical and physiological differences across species. It therefore appears appropriate to evaluate several state of the art analysis tools for human fMRI for their potential use in mice fMRI. In the first study, we have used Dual Regression analysis Network Modelling to test its feasibility in mouse resting-state fMRI analysis to investigate effects of two commonly used anaesthetics, isoflurane and medetomidine, on rs-fMRI derived functional networks, and in particular to study to what extent anaesthesia affected the interaction within and between brain networks. The analysis revealed both similarities and specific differences in network patterns of the two groups. Under isoflurane anaesthesia, intra- and interhemispheric cortical interactions have been predominantly observed, with only minor interactions involving subcortical structures. In particular, cortico—thalamic connectivity appeared significantly attenuated in line with previous observations. In contrast, medetomidine anesthetized mice displayed significant subcortical functional ...

    Abstract The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally and has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. While influenza virus shows seasonality, it is unknown if COVID-19 has any weather-related affect. In this work, we analyze the patterns in local weather of all the regions affected by COVID-19 globally. Our results indicate that approximately 85% of the COVID-19 reported cases until 1 May 2020, making approximately 3 million reported cases (out of approximately 29 million tests performed) have occurred in regions with temperature between 3 and 17 °C and absolute humidity between 1 and 9 g/m

    Abstract The interaction of the cerebellum with cerebral cortical dynamics is still poorly understood. In this paper, dynamical causal modeling is used to examine the interaction between cerebellum and cerebral cortex as indexed by MRI resting-state functional connectivity in three large-scale networks on healthy young adults (N = 200; Human Connectome Project dataset). These networks correspond roughly to default mode, task positive, and motor as determined by prior cerebellar functional gradient analyses. We find uniform interactions within all considered networks from cerebellum to cerebral cortex, providing support for the notion of a universal cerebellar transform. Our results provide a foundation for future analyses to quantify and further investigate whether this is a property that is unique to the interactions from cerebellum to cerebral cortex.
