Morphological and genetic diversity of Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato from the New and Old Worlds [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: The taxonomic status of the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu stricto), which has long been regarded as the most widespread tick worldwide and a vector of many pathogens to dogs and humans, is currently under dispute. METHODS: We

Green Ambiguity Shapes Sustainable Investing

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green Exchange‐Traded Funds (ETFs) have experienced strong growth in recent years, reflecting increasing investor attention toward sustainability. However, these funds rely on a wide range of environmental metrics that are often weakly aligned, raising concerns about the meaning of greenness in sustainable investing.

Shedding Light on Synthetic Autocatalysis: From Conventional Closed‐Shell Chemistries to Overlooked Open‐Shell Occurrences

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Why add another catalyst when the product itself holds the power to catalyze its own formation? Autocatalysis in synthetic chemistry enhances reaction efficiency and uncovers novel catalytic behavior across both closed‐shell and open‐shell systems, expanding reactivity and enabling innovative design strategies.

Identification of a novel ß-adrenergic octopamine receptor-like gene (ßAOR-like) and increased ATP-binding cassette B10 (ABCB10) expression in a Rhipicephalus microplus cell line derived from acaricide-resistant ticks [PDF]

, 2016
Background: The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is an economically important parasite of livestock. Effective control of ticks using acaricides is threatened by the emergence of resistance to many existing compounds. Several continuous R.

Revisiting EWMA in High‐Frequency‐Based Portfolio Optimization: A Comparative Assessment

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper compares the statistical and economic performance of state‐of‐the‐art high‐frequency (HF) based multivariate volatility models with a simpler, widely used alternative, the Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) filter. Using over two decades of 100 U.S.

A comparative laboratory trial evaluating the immediate efficacy of fluralaner, afoxolaner, sarolaner and imidacloprid + permethrin against adult Rhipicephalus sanguineus (sensu lato) ticks attached to dogs [PDF]

, 2012
Variational methods are used for targeting specific correlation effects by tailoring the configuration space. Independent sets of correlation orbitals, embedded in partitioned correlation functions (PCFs), are produced from multiconfiguration Hartree-

The magnitude and economic replacement value of wild meat obtained from ‘recreational’ big game hunting in the United States

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.

Shaping Function: Polymeric 3D Systems With Unconventional Geometries for Biomedical Applications

Small, EarlyView.
Particle shape is a key design parameter governing biological interactions. Advances in fabrication enable precise control over anisotropy and compartmentalization, allowing modulation of cellular uptake, transport, and biodistribution, ultimately enhancing therapeutic performance. ABSTRACT Polymer geometry is a primary determinant of physical behavior

Citizen science project on urban canids provides different results from camera traps but generates interest and revenue

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As urbanization increases, wildlife increasingly encounters people. Coyotes Canis latrans and red foxes Vulpes vulpes are two canid species that have readily adapted to urban environments. Citizen science has emerged as a low‐cost method of collecting data on urban‐adapted species that can benefit management agencies but may provide different results ...
