Coloration and structure of Taiwanese bronze scarab (Anomala expansa)

AIP Advances, 2015
The structure and optical properties of the elytra of Taiwanese bronze scarabs (Anomala expansa) were investigated. The elytron is composed by a scale-like texture on the surface and a repeated bi-layers underneath.

Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

Thickness and ordering temperature of surface NiO/Ni systems

AIP Advances, 2014
We estimate the thickness and ordering temperature of an antiferromagnetic and passivation surface oxide through exchange bias coupling. The surface NiO, which is generated through the exposure of a Ni/Cu(001) surface to oxygen, is taken as a model ...

Loss of Reduction and Clavicle Fractures Commonly Occur in Patients Undergoing Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction and Female Sex Is Associated With Higher Fracture Risk

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To use a large, multi‐institutional database to characterize the outcomes and complication profile after primary acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstruction and to evaluate potential sex‐related differences in outcomes and complications. Methods The TriNetX national database was queried for patients undergoing AC joint reconstruction between ...

Deduced probable human leukocyte antigen haplotypes associated with HLA-A*11:256Q and HLA-A*02:621 identified by case analyses of Taiwanese individuals

Tzu Chi Medical Journal, 2017
Objective: HLA-A*11:256Q and HLA-A*02:621 are two low-frequency HLA-A alleles. The aim here is to report the ethnicity of A*11:256Q and A*02:621 and associated human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes among Taiwanese individuals.

Integration of a Thermoelectric Heating Unit with Ionic Wind-Induced Droplet Centrifugation Chip to Develop Miniaturized Concentration Device for Rapid Determination of Salmonella on Food Samples Using Antibody-Functionalized SERS Tags

Sensors, 2020
When a centrifugation-enriched sample of 100 μL containing the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tag-bound bacteria (Salmonella in this study) is siphoned onto a glass slide next to an embedded thermoelectric heating chip, such a sessile droplet ...

Charlotte Pommer: Resistance fighter and female pioneer of German anatomy

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the biography and unique case of Charlotte Pommer (1914–2004), the only anatomist documented to have left the field during the Nazi period after encountering the regime's victims on the dissection table. While she is known for her resistance activities, newly presented documentation reveals her role as the provisional ...
