Absence of a Hectocotylus and Associated Mating Behaviour in the Paintpot Cuttlefish Ascarosepion tullbergi

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A hectocotylus is a sexually modified arm used by males of some cephalopod species to transfer spermatophores to females. In most cuttlefish (Sepiidae), it corresponds to the left arm IV, in which basal suckers are reduced or absent; this modification is thought to facilitate sperm transfer without premature rupture, which could be caused by ...

Evaluation of the Safety and Therapeutic Range of Nanosecond Laser Treatment in Rabbits

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Subthreshold, nanosecond laser therapy has potential as a treatment for age‐related macular degeneration; however, the therapeutic range and safety profile have not been fully documented. In this study, rabbits were used for a preclinical assessment of nanosecond laser treatment.

Surface engineering of recycled high‐density polyethylene‐based wood–polymer composites via carbon black‐containing surface film coating

Coloration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates carbon black nanoparticle (CB NP)‐reinforced surface films for improving the durability, thermal stability, fire performance and mechanical retention of recycled high‐density polyethylene (HDPE)‐based wood‐plastic composites (WPCs) after 12 months of natural weathering.

Using a Generic Blend of Pheromones to Simultaneously Attract a Diversity of Elaterid Beetle Species Native to Eastern North America

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We assessed attraction of eight elaterid species to a “generic” pheromone blend containing their eight known pheromones or sex attractants. All eight species were attracted by their specific attractants, as expected. Six species were attracted to the blend, but the remaining two species were strongly inhibited by unknown blend components.

Techniques for subretinal injections in animals

Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 506-518, March 2025.
Abstract Subretinal injections are not commonly performed during clinical treatment of animals but are frequently used in laboratory animal models to assess therapeutic efficacy and safety of gene and cell therapy products. Veterinary ophthalmologists are often employed to perform the injections in the laboratory animal setting, due to knowledge of ...

Heat treatment combined with hybrid exercises retraining mitigates cellular markers of protein turnover after hindlimb suspension in male mice: A pilot study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent evidence suggests that heat treatment (HT) and resistance training can limit skeletal muscle mass loss during immobilization. However, the effects of repeated HT sessions combined with hybrid exercises (EX), which promote both endurance and resistance responses, on muscle protein turnover following hindlimb unloading (HU) remain ...

An Application of Newton's Method to the Lubrication Analysis of Air-Lubricated Bearings

Tribology Transactions, 1999
This study deals with the development of a computational procedure for solving the isothermal compressible Reynolds equation as the governing equation of air-bearing analysis. Newton's method is used to linearize Reynolds equation and an iterative successive relaxation process is adopted to solve for the air film pressure.

Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Air-Lubricated Rollers

Journal of Tribology, 1996
Abstract The lubricating air film between two rotating rollers in close contact was studied numerically. The numerical model used in this study accounts for the effects of air compressibility, material deformation, and the slip flow which occurs when the air film thickness is not much larger than the mean-free-path of the air molecules ...

Air Lubrication and Air Cavity Analysis

2020
In this chapter we will use the acronym WFDR for water friction drag reduction to describe the general reduction of the frictional force of a hull wetted surface in water flow and air drag reduction (ADR) to describe achievement of reduction using air as a lubricant. If the local skin friction force on a surface in water flow is τw, then the local skin
