Objective. Utah arrays are widely used in both humans and non-human primates (NHPs) for intracortical brain-computer interfaces, primarily for detecting electrical signals from cortical tissue to decode motor commands. Recently, these arrays have also been applied to deliver electrical stimulation aimed at restoring…

Implantable brain-machine interfaces, capable of capturing high-resolution neural signals, hold great promise for treating neurological conditions and advancing neuroscience research. As the field moves toward chronic, fully implantable systems, ensuring the long-term safety and stability of the microelectrode arrays…

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) converts existing fibre-optic cables into dense seismic arrays at near-zero deployment cost, but measures strain rate rather than particle velocity -- the quantity required by virtually all seismological analysis tools. Converting strain rate to particle velocity by numerical…

Background: Pulmonary carcinoid tumors are rare neuroendocrine neoplasms. While gastrointestinal carcinoids have established familial clustering, the heritable component of pulmonary carcinoids, particularly outside of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome, remains poorly defined. Utah's unique linked…

Although multiple environmental attributes have been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) incidence, longitudinal evidence is needed that accounts for co-exposures and key confounding variables. This study estimates associations between environmental attributes (i.e., green amenities, air pollution, neighborhood…

Urinary stone disease is a common urological condition with increasing incidence, particularly in developed countries. Laser lithotripsy (LL) has become a preferred minimally invasive treatment due to its high precision and low tissue damage. Recent studies suggest that cavitation plays a critical role in stone damage…

— Real-world underwater testing for multi-agent autonomy presents substantial financial and engineering challenges. In this work, we introduce the Configurable Underwater Group of Autonomous Robots (CoUGARs) as a low-cost, configurable autonomous-underwater-vehicle (AUV) platform for multi-agent autonomy research. The…

The growth of digital information demands physically secure information bits that combine intrinsic randomness with multi-layered optical readout. Digital metamaterials with physical unclonable function characteristics are promising, but nearly all examples operate at microwave or terahertz frequencies. Extending…

With the peak of the wildfire season in North America typically occurring during the core part of fall bird migration, migratory birds are likely to be increasingly impacted by worsening wildfire seasons during their southerly movements. In this study, we combined two approaches to assess the impact of wildfires on…

Fireflies are well-documented in many regions of the USA. However, the presence of flashing fireflies in much of the western United States remains largely unknown. Leveraging citizen science, this study aimed to locate populations of bioluminescent fireflies across Utah. Through a multifaceted public outreach campaign…

This report presents a preliminary bryoflora for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) in southern Utah. The inventory included over 1000 collections made across 40 localities (i.e. macrohabitat types) spanning two ecologically important gradients in bryophyte habitat: shade and moisture availability. At…

Finally, we selected several epidemiologically defined clusters to assess whether there were genomic links supporting their clustering. Clusters were selected based on the number of sequenced samples they included, thus excluding very small clusters and very large clusters that had a small proportion of sequenced…

To the Editor: Using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data from 2000-2021, we compared melanoma incidence in Utah with pooled remaining 16 registries in the SEER 17 database (non-Utah SEER 17 registries), which covers 26.5% of the U.S. population. Age-adjusted rates per 100,000 person-years were…
