The Role of Secondary Care Networks, Gender, and Race on Primary Caregiver Burden
In addition to primary caregivers, many older adults receive care from secondary care networks (SCN), which include family members and friends. Literature rarely considers support that SCN provided to primary caregivers. This study examines: (a) the association between SCN support and primary…

Caregiver-Provider Communication and Unmet Care Needs Among Older Adults: Evidence From NSOC and NHATS
Effective caregiver-provider communication is crucial for high-quality care in older adults, yet little is known about factors influencing communication quality (CQ) and its relationship with unmet care needs. Using data from the 2021–2023 National Study of Caregiving (NSOC) and the National Health…

ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN COVID-19 PERCEPTIONS AND PREVENTIVE BEHAVIORS IN DEMENTIA CAREGIVING DYADS
This study adopted a dyadic perspective to examine how the perceptions of COVID-19 (i.e., anxiousness & hopefulness) of dementia caregiving dyads are associated with their engagement in personal (e.g., washing hands, wearing mask) and social (e.g., avoiding physical contact and going…

SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT MEDIATES THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ROLE OVERLOAD AND NIGHTTIME AWAKENING OF DEMENTIA CAREGIVERS
Caregivers tend to report role overload and nighttime awakening given the burden of caregiving. Previous research has not explored the association between role overload and nighttime awakening among dementia caregivers. Social engagement has been found to be associated with physical and…

Perceived Anxiousness About COVID-19 and Preventive Behaviors Among Dyads of Older Adults and Family Caregivers
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Adopting preventive behaviors is crucial to avoiding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, and perceived anxiousness may influence such behaviors among older adults and their caregivers. This study investigated the relationships between perceived anxiousness…

Prediction of Fatigue Crack Growth in Metal Materials via Spatiotemporal Neural Network
An image-driven model based on spatiotemporal neural network (STNN) is proposed for prediction of crack growth in aluminum alloy. Fatigue experiments with an initial edge crack angle of 0° and a 15.0% limit load level are designed, and images of specimen deformation are captured using digital image…

Constrained and Composite Sampling via Proximal Sampler
We study two log-concave sampling problems: constrained sampling and composite sampling. First, we consider sampling from a target distribution with density proportional to $\exp(-f(x))$ supported on a convex set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, where $f$ is convex. The main challenge is enforcing…

Oracle-based Uniform Sampling from Convex Bodies
We propose new Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms to sample a uniform distribution on a convex body $K$. Our algorithms are based on the proximal sampler, which uses Gibbs sampling on an augmented distribution and assumes access to the so-called restricted Gaussian oracle (RGO). The key…

A DNA Damage Repair Gene Signature Associated With Immunotherapy Response and Clinical Prognosis in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype in renal cell carcinoma with relatively poor clinical outcomes DNA damage repair genes (DDRGs) as potential biomarkers are rarely reported in predicting immunotherapy response and clinical prognosis for ccRCC. Methods…

Influence of Sex and ERK MAPK on the Pressure Reactivity Index in Newborn Piglets After Fluid Percussion Injury
Greater impairment in autoregulation is seen in male versus female piglets following fluid percussion injury (FPI). This is partially mediated by a greater upregulation of extracellular signal-related kinase mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK MAPK). We hypothesized that these trends would be…

The Role of Social Isolation on Mediating Depression and Anxiety among Primary Family Caregivers of Older Adults: A Two-Wave Mediation Analysis
BACKGROUND: Primary family caregivers of older people with chronic care conditions are highly vulnerable to social isolation and psychological strains such as depression and anxiety due to their demanding responsibilities. This study examines how social isolation mediates the relationship between…

Associations between Caregiver-Provider Communication Quality and Unmet Care Needs Among Older Adults
BACKGROUND: Unmet care needs (lack of assistance with daily activities) among older adults are common and linked to adverse health outcomes, greater healthcare utilization, and caregiver burden. While effective patient-provider communication is known to improve care quality, less is understood…

A Unified Spatial Alignment Framework for Highly Transferable Transformation-Based Attacks on Spatially Structured Tasks
Transformation-based adversarial attacks (TAAs) demonstrate strong transferability when deceiving classification models. However, existing TAAs often perform unsatisfactorily or even fail when applied to structured tasks such as semantic segmentation and object detection. Encouragingly, recent…
