White-tailed deer response to vehicle approach: evidence of unclear and present danger. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The fundamental causes of animal-vehicle collisions are unclear, particularly at the level of animal detection of approaching vehicles and decision-making. Deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) are especially costly in terms of animal mortality, property damage,

Feasibility and Tolerability of Performing Portable MRI for Neurological Disorders in an Outpatient Neurology Clinic: A Prospective Cohort

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Accessing brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be challenging, especially for underserved patients, which may lead to disparities in neurological diagnosis. Method This mixed‐methods study enrolled adults with one of four neurological disorders: mild cognitive impairment or dementia of the Alzheimer type, multiple sclerosis ...

New Onset of Fibromyalgia After Exposure to a Combat Environment: A Longitudinal Cohort Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Traumatic life events are hypothesized to be triggers for the onset of fibromyalgia. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common comorbidity of fibromyalgia. However, limited prospective data are available on the development of fibromyalgia after exposure to high‐magnitude stress.

Adaptive Bird-like Genome Miniaturization During the Evolution of Scallop Swimming Lifestyle

Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2022
Genome miniaturization drives key evolutionary innovations of adaptive traits in vertebrates, such as the flight evolution of birds. However, whether similar evolutionary processes exist in invertebrates remains poorly understood. Derived from the second-

Innovating Aircraft Repair Processes: The Role of Digitalization in Sustainability

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This research explores how digitalization—by storing detailed non‐destructive testing data in structured DICONDE databases and creating a standard data model of the component—innovates aviation maintenance and repair processes. Coupled with a developed state‐based simulation model, it enables data‐driven, sustainable repair strategies that reduce waste,

Protective Effect of Methyl Sulfonyl Methane on the Progression of Age-Induced Bone Loss by Regulating Oxidative Stress-Mediated Bone Resorption

Antioxidants
Aging is associated with detrimental bone loss, often leading to fragility fractures, which may be driven by oxidative stress. In this study, the outcomes of comparing the differences among young, adult and aged C57BL/6J mice found that the trabecular ...

Sex-related interannual plasticity in wing morphological design in Heliconius charithonia enhances flight metabolic performance.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Flight morphological variations and its consequences on animal performance are common in winged insects. In the butterfly Heliconius charithonia, sex-related differences in the wing morphological design have been described resulting in differences in ...

Animalopters - towards a new dimension of flight mechanics [PDF]

Transport, 2002
Recently, it has been recognised that flapping wing propulsion can be more efficient than conventional propel­lers if applied to very small-scale vehicles, so-called MAVs (micro air vehicles).
