Professor Ruiliang Pu, a distinguished figure in the field of hyperspectral remote sensing, left a profound legacy through his groundbreaking work. His research has transformed how we understand forest ecosystems, particularly through the use of advanced remote sensing technologies to monitor forest health. Pu's innovative methods continue to influence the field, providing essential tools for environmental protection and resource management.
A poll of people over the age of 50 shows that just under half are likely to get the updated COVID-19 vaccine, though those in the highest-risk age groups are more likely.
A research team reveals that biofilm formation on food-contact surfaces in the food supply chain poses a significant challenge, providing an environment for harmful bacteria that can lead to foodborne illnesses and degrade food quality.
ISPOR—The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research announced the plenary sessions and speakers for ISPOR Europe 2024.

A new study led by Prof. Omry Koren and graduate student Atara Uzan-Yuzari from the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine at Bar-Ilan University has unveiled significant evidence connecting the gut microbiome to aggressive behavior in mice.
Published in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, the research explores how disruptions in the microbiome, particularly due to antibiotic use in early life, can lead to increased aggression.
A research team reveals the nutraceutical potential of desugared sugarcane extract (DSE), a byproduct of sugar refining, as a rich source of bioactive compounds.
Dr. Son Moon's research team at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a technology that uses data-driven artificial intelligence to accurately predict the concentration of ions in water during electrochemical water treatment processes.
A new video game designed by the University of South Australia shows what it is like to be neurodivergent in a world that’s designed for neurotypical people.
Young adults who drink heavily reported that a specific intervention that provides personalized feedback on daily drinking would be beneficial for people who want to reduce their drinking and would encourage self-reflection among those who are not yet ready to change their drinking habits. The young adults were participants in a pilot study of a first-of-its-kind technology aimed at reducing heavy drinking in young adults through self-selected goal setting and daily personalized feedback based on self-reported behaviors related to drinking. The study is described in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research.
A research team highlights the critical role of dedicated exits in improving emergency evacuation efficiency for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and disabled.
People with alcohol use disorder (AUD) who are at risk of advanced liver disease are less likely to be referred for liver evaluation and care if they present primarily with alcohol-related mental health issues or a mental health diagnosis, according to a study of referral practices in Virginia’s largest health system. The findings point to the possibility of widespread missed opportunities for treating three conditions that commonly co-occur: AUD, mental health disorders, and liver disease. Recent years have seen notable increases in the USA in alcohol-related deaths, mental health disorders, and hospital admissions relating to alcohol use and concurrent mental health conditions. AUD is a significant cause of liver disease, and both addiction and co-occurring mental illness can be barriers to successful liver treatment. Integrating AUD treatment, mental health care, and hepatology (liver care) is necessary to improve outcomes, but data suggests this approach is not the norm. For the st
