Isotopic evidence for the consumption of Galliformes by the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) in rural southern England

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic resource subsidies can drive mesopredator population growth, altering predator–prey dynamics. The red fox Vulpes vulpes is a generalist canid that can readily exploit such subsidies. In the UK, tens of millions of pheasants Phasianus colchicus and red‐legged partridges Alectoris rufa are released annually for sport shooting, potentially ...

A fully human in vitro capsular bag model to permit intraocular lens evaluation

open access: yes, 2012
Purpose. To establish a fully human in vitro culture model with which to test the putative effects of intraocular lens (IOL) designs in preventing posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery. Methods.

Investigating Breathing Dynamics of a 110 kV Oil‐Immersed Transformer Using Thermal‐Fluid‐Structure Interaction Modelling

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The breathing system of an oil‐immersed transformer is of vital importance for maintaining equilibrium between internal and external pressures, with any malfunction potentially disrupting the transformer's stable operation. This study develops a thermal–fluid–structure interaction (TFSI) model to simulate the breathing phenomenon in a 110 kV ...

Determining the utility of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for disaster victim identification (DVI)

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was evaluated as a method for electronically tracking human remains and associated identifying information during mass fatality incidents. Conventional tags are prone to physical damage and failure, which can compromise identification processes and hinder the repatriation of bodies.

On 3‐MMC: A Cathinone I Have Come to Know and Love

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article attempts to complicate the mythology of a compound in a state of becoming. I will trace lightly its origins as a cultural disruptor and how I am implicated in this imperative. Introducing you to 3‐MMC will require multiple modes of storytelling and taking of liberties, drawing on literature reviews, practice‐based research, prose,

Toward new engagement paradigms for intraocular lenses: Light-initiated bonding of capsular bag to lens materials

open access: yes, 2016
8 págs.; 5 figs.© 2015 The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, Inc. PURPOSE. Successful intraocular lens procedures, that is, implantation of accommodating intraocular lenses (A-IOL), require firm engagement of the IOL haptics to the ...

Astigmatic changes after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in decompensated penetrating keratoplasty grafts

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the surgery‐induced changes of astigmatism after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in eyes with failed previous penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Design Retrospective, interventional cohort study based on prospective DMEK database.

Scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation techniques

open access: yesActa Medica Alanya, 2019
The ideal location of intraocular lens implantation is the posterior chamber. The capsular bag is left during the cataract operations in order to implant the intraocular lens in the position of the crystalline lens and the artificial lens is applied ...

Aniridia‐associated keratopathy: Clinical and molecular mechanisms of disease progression and emerging therapeutic targets

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Congenital aniridia is a rare genetic disorder primarily caused by pathogenic variants of the PAX6 gene. It leads to various panocular anomalies, including aniridia‐associated keratopathy (AAK). This review highlights recent insights into its pathogenesis, focusing on clinical staging, microstructural changes in the cornea and molecular ...

Effect of total lens epithelial cell destruction on intraocular lens fixation in the human capsular bag

open access: yes, 2014
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of complete destruction of lens epithelial cells (LECs) in the capsular bag on intraocular lens (IOL) stability. SETTING: School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, United Kingdom.
