Videographic analysis of blink dynamics in patients with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, myogenic ptosis, and facial nerve palsy using smartphone camera: A comparative analysis. [PDF]
Abstract Background and Aims Congenital myogenic ptosis (CMP), chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO), and facial nerve palsy (FNP) are among the disorders which can seriously affect the blink dynamics of patients. Smartphone videography is a simple, convenient, and inexpensive way to capture eyelid movement.

Epidemiologic, Clinical and Mycological Profile of Onychomycosis in the Hospital Setting in Benin. [PDF]
Introduction: Onychomycosis accounts for 50% of nail disorders and remains one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in dermatology. Several factors favour the development of onychomycosis, such as age, morphological abnormalities of the nails, immunodeficiency and certain underlying pathologies.

Female lizards (Eremias argus) reverse Bergmann's rule across altitude.
The specific drivers of body size variations have remained difficult to understand because of the wide range of proximate underlying factors that have consistently covaried with ectotherms' body sizes across geographic gradients. We used the data from long‐term field studies spanning 10 years of a wide‐ranging distributed lizard species across China to

Statistical multivariate monitoring of rolling bearings working under varying operational conditions
Abstract In recent years, statistical data‐driven approaches have been developed for health monitoring of rolling bearings working under variable operational conditions. Due to the reliance on reference models, most of them encounter with the model mismatch problem.

Maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) infestation results in a substantial reduction in the quantity and deterioration of the quality of stored maize. Most farmers control weevils using conventional pesticides which are usually associated with several human health risks as well as intoxication of the fauna and flora.

Adaptation potential of the copepod Eurytemora affinis to a future warmer Baltic Sea
Here, we ask whether the Baltic Sea copepod Eurytemora affinis can adapt to future climate warming. Our results on genetic correlations show that E. affinis can adapt to a future high temperature, 22.5°C, via indirect selection at 17°C; however, in a cold environment, 12°C, populations are unlikely to adapt to warmer temperatures of 17 and 22.5°C ...

Effects of the target aspect ratio and intrinsic reactivity onto diffusive search in bounded domains
We study the mean first passage time (MFPT) to a reaction event on a specific site in a cylindrical geometry—characteristic, for instance, for bacterial cells, with a concentric inner cylinder representing the nuclear region of the bacterial cell.

Long‐term tracking with fast scale estimation and efficient re‐detection
In long‐term tracking applications, occlusion and scale variation are common attributes which cause performance degradation. Existing solutions use heavy calculation to deal with these problems, without considering the real‐time implementation. Therefore, the authors propose a novel long‐term tracker with fast scale estimation and efficient re ...
