Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in older adults. Although AD progression characterized by stereotyped accumulation proteinopathies, affected cellular populations remain understudied. Here we use multiomics, spatial genomics and reference atlases from BRAIN Initiative to study middle temporal gyrus cell types 84 donors with varying pathologies. This cohort includes 33 male 51 female donors, an average age at time death 88 years. We used quantitative neuropathology...
Workplace stress-reduction interventions have produced mixed results due to engagement and adherence barriers. Leveraging technology integrate such into the workday may address these barriers help mitigate mental, physical, monetary effects of workplace stress. To inform design a intervention system, we conducted four-week longitudinal study with 86 participants, examining type timing on usage, stress reduction impact, user preferences. We compared three types two delivery conditions:...
Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in older adults. Neuropathological and imaging studies have demonstrated a progressive stereotyped accumulation protein aggregates, but underlying molecular cellular mechanisms driving AD progression vulnerable cell populations affected by remain coarsely understood. The current study harnesses single spatial genomics tools knowledge from BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network to understand impact on middle temporal gyrus...
This paper presents Eclipse, a platform for low-cost urban environmental sensing using solar-powered and cellular-connected devices. Dense sensor networks promise to monitor pollution at fine spatial temporal resolutions, yet few cities have actually implemented such due high costs limited accuracy. We address these barriers by developing an end-to-end framework air quality with minimal infrastructure requirements. designed unobtrusive device that collects data on particulate matter (PM <inf...
Workplace stress has been increasing in recent decades and worsened by the unique demands imposed COVID-19 new remote/hybrid work settings. High-stress working conditions can be detrimental to health wellness of workers lead significant business costs terms productivity loss medical expenses. An essential step toward managing involves finding comfortable ways sense recognizing as soon it happens. This explores potential value using pervasive sensors such keyboards, webcams, behavioral data...
The absence of tactile cues such as keys and buttons makes touchscreens difficult to navigate for people with visual impairments. Increasing feedback tangible interaction on can improve their accessibility. However, prior solutions have either required hardware customization or provided limited functionality static overlays. Prior investigation large also may not address the challenges mobile devices. We therefore present Interactiles, a low cost, portable, unpowered system that enhances...
