Threatened gastropods under the evolutionary genetic species concept: Redescription and new species of the genus Aylacostoma (Gastropoda: Thiaridae) from High Paraná River (Argentina-Paraguay) [PDF]

, 2014
The genus Aylacostoma Spix, 1827, is mainly endemic to South America, and comprises about 30 nominal species, most of which were described based solely on conchological features following the typological approaches of most of the 19th and the mid-20th ...

Long‐term effects of an oral elemental nutritional supplement on post‐gastrectomy body weight loss in gastric cancer patients (KSES002)

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, 2019
Aim The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of short‐term nutritional intervention with an oral elemental diet (ED; Elental; EA Pharma Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan) at 300 kcal/day for 6‐8 weeks in the early post‐gastrectomy period on postoperative ...

Smartphone-supported behavioural weight loss treatment in adults with severe obesity: study protocol for an exploratory randomised controlled trial (SmartBWL)

BMJ Open, 2023
Introduction Behavioural weight loss (BWL) treatment is the standard evidence-based treatment for severe obesity (SO; body mass index ≥40.0 kg/m2 or ≥35.0 kg/m2 with obesity-related comorbidity), leading to moderate weight loss which often cannot be ...

Design of the PACIFIC study: A randomized controlled trial evaluating a novel treatment for adults with overweight and obesity [PDF]

, 2019
The majority of adults in the United States have overweight or obesity which is associated with significant health and psychological consequences. Behavioral Weight Loss (BWL) is the current gold-standard weight-loss program for adults but recidivism ...

Comprehensive Evaluation of Bisphenol A Toxicity Reveals Neurobehavioral, Metabolic, and Reproductive Impairments in Girardia tigrina

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), a common industrial chemical used in plastics and consumer products, is increasingly detected in aquatic environments, raising serious concerns about its potential ecological impacts. This study evaluated the sublethal and acute toxic effects of BPA on the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina, a recognized model for ...

Recent Advances in the Science of Burst Wave Lithotripsy and Ultrasonic Propulsion

BME Frontiers, 2022
Nephrolithiasis is a common, painful condition that requires surgery in many patients whose stones do not pass spontaneously. Recent technologic advances have enabled the use of ultrasonic propulsion to reposition stones within the urinary tract, either ...

Estimating small angular scale CMB anisotropy with high resolution N-body simulations: weak lensing

, 2010
We estimate the impact of weak lensing by strongly nonlinear cosmological structures on the cosmic microwave background. Accurate calculation of large $\ell$ multipoles requires N-body simulations and ray-tracing schemes with both high spatial and ...

Dietary shift of the common leopard Panthera pardus in and around Bani Wildlife Sanctuary, western Himalayas: implications for conservation and human–wildlife conflict

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding the dietary patterns of apex predator like the common leopard Panthera pardus is essential for evaluating their ecological role, particularly in landscapes where human–wildlife conflict is prevalent. In this context, this study investigates the seasonal diet composition of the common leopard in and around the Bani Wildlife Sanctuary, a ...

RotGS: Rotation‐Guided 3D Gaussian Splatting for Turntable Sequences without Structure‐from‐Motion

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract The field of 3D reconstruction from multi‐view images has advanced rapidly thanks to 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), which enables efficient and photorealistic scene representation. However, optimizing 3DGS requires high‐quality images from various viewpoints with accurate camera poses.

Leptoquarks decaying to a top quark and a charged lepton at hadron colliders

, 2011
We study the sensitivity of the Tevatron and the 7 TeV LHC to a leptoquark S coupling to a top quark and a charged lepton L (= e, mu, or tau). For the Tevatron, we focus on the case m_S < m_t, where the leptoquark pair production cross section is large ...
