Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Automatic control of finite element models for temperature-controlled radiofrequency ablation

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2005
Background The finite element method (FEM) has been used to simulate cardiac and hepatic radiofrequency (RF) ablation. The FEM allows modeling of complex geometries that cannot be solved by analytical methods or finite difference models.

Combinatory local ablation and immunotherapies for hepatocellular carcinoma: Rationale, efficacy, and perspective

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Local ablation, such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, cryoablation and irreversible electroporation, etc., are well established in elimination and ...

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Comparative Investigation on the Ablation of Uncoated and Coated Mild Steel Inflicted by the 2 ms 2 kA Rectangular Current

Metals, 2019
The micro ablation characteristics of steel inflicted by the lightning currents and the influence of anti-corrosion coating on these characteristics are seldom investigated, even though fundamental to applications of steel.

Image-guided stent-directed irreversible electroporation for circumferential ablation in the rat esophagus

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Background: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) has been investigated in the alimentary tract; however, the lack of dedicated electrodes and insufficient tissue responses made its application limited.

An Adaptive Management Model for Brown Bears in Hokkaido: Based on Total Population and the Number of Nuisance Bears

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Bear management changes management actions according to the horizontal axis of the population size and the vertical axis of the number of nuisance bears. Aiming for the target population size of Ntar, Actions I and II protect the bears, and Action IV reduces the population.

Ablation in Externally Applied Electric and Magnetic Fields

Nanomaterials, 2020
To harness light-matter interactions at the nano-/micro-scale, better tools for control must be developed. Here, it is shown that by applying an external electric and/or magnetic field, ablation of Si and glass under ultra-short (sub-1 ps) laser pulse ...
