We established wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in a small, residential, urban college as part an integrated public health response during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students returned to campus spring 2021. During semester, students were required perform nasal PCR tests twice weekly. At same time, monitoring was 3 dormitory buildings. Two dedicated dormitories with populations 188 and 138 students; 1 isolation building where moved within 2 h receiving positive test results. Analysis from...
We investigated hearing impairment (HI) in 51 families from Ghana with at least two affected members that were negative for GJB2 pathogenic variants. DNA samples 184 family underwent whole-exome sequencing (WES). Variants found 14 known non-syndromic HI (NSHI) genes [26/51 (51.0%) families], five can underlie either syndromic or NSHI [13/51 (25.5%)], and one gene [1/51 (2.0%)]. CDH23 MYO15A contributed the most to [31.4% (16/51 families)]. For DSPP, an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance...
The K/Ar chronology of glauconite pellets is a long-used method for directly dating marine sedimentary deposits. Many papers have explored the processes that form and factors lead to greater reliability in ages. Although ages are generally agreement with other measures stratigraphic age, there examples occurrences too old young. This paper seeks build on accumulated knowledge glauconite, using synchrotron radiation non-destructively characterize individual then consecutively measure argon...
Hearing impairment (HI) is a common disorder of sensorineural function with highly heterogeneous genetic background. Although substantial progress has been made in the understanding etiology hereditary HI, many genes implicated HI remain undiscovered. Via exome and Sanger sequencing DNA samples obtained from consanguineous Pakistani families that segregate profound prelingual we identified rare homozygous missense variants four (ADAMTS1, MPDZ, MVD, SEZ6) are likely underlying cause HI....
Abstract Magma/lava temperature is one of the most basic and critical parameters in volcanology. Yet at many active volcanoes, including during eruptions, this parameter remains poorly constrained due to vent accessibility, with estimates from different geothermometers commonly varying by several tens more than a hundred degrees. One such volcano Villarrica, hazardous volcanoes South America whose crater hosts persistent lava lake. Here, we use experimentally determined phase equilibria...
Wolfram syndrome (WFS) is characterized by deafness, diabetes mellitus, and insipidus along with optic atrophy. WFS has an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance due to variants in WFS1 CISD2.We evaluated the underlying molecular etiology three affected members a consanguineous family hearing impairment, bicuspid aortic valve, mellitus insipidus, clinodactyly, gastrointestinal tract abnormalities via exome sequencing approach. We correlated clinical imaging data genetic findings their...
Congenital hearing impairment (HI) is a genetically highly heterogeneous disorder in which prompt recognition and intervention are crucial to optimize outcomes. In this study, we used exome sequencing investigate large consanguineous Pakistani family with eight affected individuals showing bilateral severe-to-profound HI. This identified homozygous splice region variant STX4 (c.232 + 6T>C), causes exon skipping frameshift, that segregated HI (two-point logarithm of odds (LOD) score = 5.9)....
While the northern and southern locked sections of San Andreas Fault are associated with large earthquakes, its central creeping section has not historically hosted rupture. However, new dating biomarker maturity data on core from Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) provide evidence that paleoearthquakes have occurred geologically recently along (Coffey et al., 2022). Diffusion experiments these samples suggest ages only partially reset. Thus, actual event must be younger than bulk apparent ages....
