Innervation and immunohistochemical characteristics of epididymis in alpaca camelid (Vicugna pacos) [PDF]

, 2013
Alpacas (Vicugna pacos) are domesticated camelids indigenous to south America and recently also bred in Europe and Italy for their high quality wool. There is little data available regarding the innervation of the male reproductive tract of this species.

Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.

Bacterial Communities in the Alpaca Gastrointestinal Tract Vary With Diet and Body Site

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Gut -associated microbes (‘gut microbiota’) impact the nutrition of their hosts, especially in ruminants and pseudoruminants that consume high-cellulose diets. Examples include the pseudoruminant alpaca.

Effect of genotype and sex on fiber growth rate of alpacas for their first year of fleece production

, 2014
The sale of alpaca fiber is the main income for thousands of families in the Central Andes of Peru. Little information exists on the fiber length growth rate of alpaca (FLG), especially throughout their first year of life when the fiber is most valuable.

Non‐Viral Cytokine‐Inducible SH2 Containing Protein Locus‐Specific Integrated Fibroblast Activation Protein Alpha‐Targeting Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells Achieve Potent Antitumor Efficacy in Glioblastoma

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
FAPα is a dual target on glioblastoma cells and perivascular cells. Using a high‐affinity anti‐FAPα nanobody, we generated CISH‐KO FAPα‐CAR‐T cells via non‐viral CRISPR–Cas9 integration. These cells demonstrated enhanced proliferation and superior antitumor efficacy in patient‐derived organoids and orthotopic mouse models compared to conventional CAR‐T

Real‐Time Anxiety and Depression Detection by Combining Large Language Models and Machine Learning With Explainability Capabilities on a User‐Centric, Engaging Conversational Assistant

Expert Systems, Volume 43, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Mental well‐being is a worldwide priority of health systems. Nevertheless, the diagnosis and recovery rates are still low. This work demonstrates an Artificial Intelligence (AI)‐based, entertainment‐oriented, engaging assistant that can deliver on‐demand, non‐judgmental assessment in an accessible, scalable, and personalised way to people ...

Sudden Death of a 17‐Month‐Old Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) due to a Congenital Undiagnosed Ventricular Septal Defect

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a congenital defect that is frequently observed in humans. We report the sudden death of an infant chimpanzee due to a congenital undiagnosed VSD. During necropsy, the examination of the heart revealed a VSD, dilatation of the left ventricle and myocardial hypertrophy of the right ventricle.

Alpaca: intermittent execution without checkpoints [PDF]

Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages, 2017
The emergence of energy harvesting devices creates the potential for batteryless sensing and computing devices. Such devices operate only intermittently, as energy is available, presenting a number of challenges for software developers. Programmers face a complex design space requiring reasoning about energy, memory consistency, and forward progress ...
