Abstract	Ball marks result from golf ball impact on putting greens, and recovery of the surface may depend upon the repair strategy employed. Our objective was to compare three ball mark repair techniques for their influence on golf green surface quality and 'L-93' creeping bentgrass (Huds.) recovery. Studies were conducted on a practice putting green on a golf course (Study I) and on a research green (Study II) near Manhattan, Kansas. Ball marks were made by a golfer striking golf balls with a pitching wedge from 100 m in Study I and from 70 m in Study II. Five treatments were imposed on the ball marks immediately after they were created: (i) no ball mark (control); (ii) unrepaired ball mark; (iii) Greenfix tool; (iv) traditional ball mark repair tool used improperly; and (v) traditional ball mark repair tool used properly. In both studies, ball marks repaired properly with the traditional tool or with the Greenfix, recovered completely in 16 to 21 days; recovery was 4 days faster with the Greenfix tool than the traditional tool in Study I. Marks repaired with the Greenfix had poorer surface quality due to the presence of an uneven surface at 3 days after the ball mark was made (ABM) in Study I and up to 10 days ABM in Study II. Using the traditional tool improperly resulted in the poorest surface quality at > 17 days ABM due to a persistent ball mark scar and poor turf quality in the mark area. Improperly repaired marks required > 38 days for recovery, 19 days longer than unrepaired marks in Study I, and at least 8 days longer than unrepaired marks in Study II. Proper use of the traditional tool or use of the Greenfix allowed for most rapid improvement in creeping bentgrass surface quality and fewest days to recovery; however, improper use of the traditional tool reduced surface quality and doubled the time for surface recovery compared to its proper use.

Abstract	We present a soil manufactured from waste materials, which could replace the use of peat and topsoil in plant production and reduce the pressure on natural soil resources. We tested the effect of the manufactured soil on ecosystem functions and microbial communities with and without plants present, and with and without biochar addition (Experiment 1). The resilience of the soil in response to drought and flooding, and also the effect of biochar was also tested (Experiment 2). Biochar increased soil C and N regardless of plant presence and negated the effect of the plant on soil peroxidase enzyme activity. The manufactured soil was largely resilient to drought, but not flooding, with negative impacts on microbial communities. Results indicate that biochar could improve soil properties, but not resilience to climatic perturbations. Results suggest that manufactured soils amended with biochar could offer a useful alternative to natural soil in many contexts.

Abstract	In this chapter, we review the extensive literature describing the roles of the subfornical organ (SFO), the organum vasculosum of the terminalis (OVLT), and the median preoptic nucleus (MnPO), comprising the lamina terminalis, in cardiovascular regulation and the control of fluid balance. We present this information in the context of both historical and technological developments which can effectively be overlaid upon each other. We describe intrinsic anatomy and connectivity and then discuss early work which described how circulating angiotensin II acts at the SFO to stimulate drinking and increase blood pressure. Extensive studies using direct administration and lesion approaches to highlight the roles of all regions of the lamina terminalis are then discussed. At the cellular level we describe c-Fos and electrophysiological work, which has highlighted an extensive group of circulating hormones which appear to influence the activity of specific neurons in the SFO, OVLT, and MnPO. We highlight optogenetic studies that have begun to unravel the complexities of circuitries underlying physiological outcomes, especially those related to different components of drinking. Finally, we describe the somewhat limited human literature supporting conclusions that these structures play similar and potentially important roles in human physiology.

Abstract	Introduction: Pleomorphic liposarcoma is a rare and aggressive subset of soft-tissue sarcomas with a high mortality burden. Local treatment largely consists of radiation therapy and wide surgical resection, but options for systemic therapy in the setting of metastatic disease are limited and largely ineffective, prompting exploration of novel therapeutic strategies and experimental models. As with other cancers, sarcoma cell lines and patient-derived xenograft models have been developed and used to characterize these tumors and identify therapeutic targets, but these models have inherent limitations. The establishment of genetically engineered mouse models represents a more realistic framework for reproducing clinically relevant conditions for studying pleomorphic liposarcoma. Methods: Trp53 Results: Mice reliably produced noticeable soft-tissue tumors in approximately 6 weeks with rapid tumor growth between 100 and 150 days of life, after which mice reached euthanasia criteria. Histologic features were consistent with pleomorphic liposarcoma, including widespread pleomorphic lipoblasts. Immunoprofiling and assessment of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was consistent with other soft-tissue sarcomas. Conclusion: Genetically engineered RPP mice reliably produced soft-tissue tumors consistent with pleomorphic liposarcoma, which immunological findings similar to other soft-tissue sarcomas. This model may demonstrate utility in testing treatments for this rare disease, including immunomodulatory therapies.

Abstract	Mechanical ventilation can be used in mice to support high-risk anesthesia or to create clinically relevant, intensive care models. However, the choice of anesthetic and inspired oxygen concentration for prolonged procedures may affect basic physiology and lung inflammation. To characterize the effects of anesthetics and oxygen concentration in mice experiencing mechanical ventilation, mice were anesthetized with either isoflurane or pentobarbital for tracheostomy followed by mechanical ventilation with either 100% or 21% oxygen. Body temperature, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate were monitored continuously. After 6 h, mice were euthanized for collection of blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for evaluation of biomarkers of inflammation and lung injury, including cell counts and cytokine levels. Overall, both isoflurane and pentobarbital provided suitable anesthesia for 6 h of mechanical ventilation with either 21% or 100% oxygen. We found no differences in lung inflammation biomarkers attributable to either oxygen concentration or the anesthetic. However, the combination of pentobarbital and 100% oxygen resulted in a significantly higher concentration of a biomarker for lung epithelial cell injury. This study demonstrates that the combination of anesthetic agent, mechanical ventilation, and inspired oxygen concentrations can alter vital signs and lung injury biomarkers during prolonged procedures. Their combined impact may influence model development and the interpretation of research results, warranting the need for preliminary evaluation to establish the baseline effects.

Abstract	The synthesis of aromatic heterocycles has attracted substantial attention due to the abundance of these heterocycles in drug molecules, natural products, and other compounds of biological interest. Accordingly, there is a demand for straightforward synthetic protocols toward such compounds using readily available starting materials. In the past decade, there have been substantial developments in heterocycle synthesis, especially in metal-catalyzed and iodine-assisted approaches. This graphical review focuses on notable reactions from the past decade using aryl and heteroaryl methyl ketones as starting materials, including representative reaction mechanisms.

Abstract	Detection of environmental cues is essential for all vertebrates and is typically established by the olfactory epithelium and olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). In fishes, microvillous and ciliated OSNs are the principal types, typically detecting amino acids and bile salts, respectively. Activation of OSN receptors by specific ligands initiate downstream signal processing often leading to behavioural responses. In this study we used electrophysiological and behavioural techniques to evaluate olfactory detection and behaviour in juvenile lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens in response to hatchery- and natural dietary cues. We hypothesized that electro-olfactogram (EOG) and behavioural responses would be dependent on diet type. We predicted that inhibition of the phospholipase C/inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (PLC/IP

Abstract	Background: Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM) is a valuable adjunct for neurosurgical operative techniques, and has been shown to improve clinical outcomes in cranial and spinal surgery. It is not necessarily provided by NHS hospitals so may be outsourced to private companies, which are expensive and at cost to the NHS trusts. We discuss the benefits and challenges of developing an in-house service. Methods: We surveyed NHS neurosurgical departments across England regarding their expenditure on IOM over the period January 2018 - December 2022 on cranial neurosurgery and spinal surgery. Out of 24 units, all responded to our Freedom of Information requests and 21 provided data. The standard NHS England salary of NHS staff who would normally be involved in IOM, including physiologists and doctors, was also compiled for comparison. Results: The total spend on outsourced IOM, across the units who responded, was over £8 million in total for the four years. The annual total increased, between 2018 and 2022, from £1.1 to £3.5 million. The highest single unit yearly spend was £568,462. This is in addition to salaries for staff in neurophysiology departments. The mean NHS salaries for staff is also presented. Conclusion: IOM is valuable in surgical decision-making, planning, and technique, having been shown to lead to fewer patient complications and shorter length of stay. Current demand for IOM outstrips the internal NHS provision in many trusts across England, leading to outsourcing to private companies. This is at significant cost to the NHS. Although there is a learning curve, there are many benefits to in-house provision, such as stable working relationships, consistent methods, training of the future IOM workforce, and reduced long-term costs, which planned expansion of NHS services may provide.

Abstract	The European Union has the ambition to be the first carbonneutral continent by 2050. To fulfil this objective and integrate into the grid the large amount of power from solar and wind, Europe can rely upon the high storage and flexible capacity of hydropower. Thus, new reservoirs and innovative use of current reservoirs will be needed to provide an effective contribution to this unprecedented European Green Deal. The project Hydropower Europe, funded by the H2020 research programme, is tasked with identifying innovative uses of reservoirs and prioritizing the associated innovation actions targeting an energy system with high flexibility and renewable share. The project deliverables are a Research and Innovation Agenda (RIA) listing the top strategic research and innovation directions and a Strategic Industry Roadmap (SIR) addressing non-technical actions and requests for the hydropower sector. This paper describes the vision of the project: “Hydropower as a catalyst for the energy transition”. In Part I of this paper, the Green Deal and the role of hydropower were outlined and discussed. In this Part II, after highlighting the complex environment for hydropower in Europe, and the challenges of biodiversity, the main innovation and research directions extracted from the RIA and the main steps of the SIR for combining multipurpose hydropower, in a sustainable, efficient and cost-effective manner, are presented.
