Does Skeletal Muscle Mass Predict Urine and Saliva Measures of Hydration Status? A Cross-Sectional Analysis
Abstract Objective Available evidence indicates that fat-free mass and muscle mass positively associate with baseline urine specific gravity, particularly in physically active individuals and athletes. Relatively little, however, is known about the relationships between skeletal muscle mass and other hydration biomarkers in more diverse samples.
Data-driven design of high entropy alloys using the voxelized atomic structure framework
Abstract Many modern science and technology applications require the development of new multifunctional materials with advanced, tailorable properties. The large design spaces of materials like high entropy alloys (HEAs) make existing physics-based high-throughput materials design approaches intractable, leading to the adoption of machine learning approaches.
Time of urine sampling may influence the association between urine specific gravity and body composition

Associations between urine specific gravity and race/ethnicity at the population level: Implications for hydration status categorization
1 INTRODUCTION Urine specific gravity (USG) is often used to assess an individual's hydration status by comparing the density of urine to distilled water (McDermott et al., 2017).

Electronics are Great…but Sooner or Later a Human Gets Involved!
Someone once said out of sheer exasperation at a particular operational problem, “This is bad, but if you want a real screw-up, get a computer!”. We can all empathize with this; we’ve all had experiences where a computer suddenly develops a mind of its own and causes chaos, but in truth, the problem is nearly always caused by a human who either programmed the computer or fed it with incorrect data.
