Preclinical safety assessment in rats after dermal exposure to acetylcarvacrol, a potential acaricide against the brown dog tick

Toxicology Reports
Carvacrol, a phenolic monoterpene found in essential oils of plants of the Lamiaceae family, emerges as an alternative acaricide of plant origin. Its acetylation was proposed to obtain a derivative compound with a better pharmacological profile and lower

The Questioning of Special Items During Conference Calls: High Quality or Highly Questionable? Réexaminer des éléments exceptionnels lors des conférences téléphoniques : une pratique d'excellence ou très contestable?

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accounting standards require firms to distinguish recurring revenues and expenses from nonrecurring gains and losses, which are often referred to as special items.

When Accounting Qualities Collide: Accruals Quality, Comparability and Information Risk in SEO Underpricing

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how accounting quality attributes jointly mitigate underpricing associated with two dimensions of information risk in seasoned equity offerings (SEOs). In information environments with relatively more potent information asymmetry, the evidence suggests that accruals quality and accounting comparability act as substitutes; i.e ...

Reflections on Traceability for Visualization Research

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Decades of advocacy for reproducibility and replication have advanced open, transparent practices in the sciences. However, traditional notions of reproducibility fit poorly with design‐oriented visualization research, where insights emerge through subjective, situated, and iterative work.

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

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.

Student Perceptions of 360o (3D) Imaged‐Models Used for Fixed Prosthodontics Simulation Education: Enhancing Visualisation, Understanding and Self‐Assessment

European Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This study evaluated and compared the effectiveness of a novel 3D imaged models (3D IMs) and physical reference models in supporting student learning of indirect tooth preparations. Materials and Methods Fourth‐year dental students from 2021 (N = 69) and 2022 (N = 54) received access to 3D IMs and real‐sized plastic models ...
