Hatching Strategies in Monogenean (Platyhelminth) Parasites that Facilitate Host Infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In parasites, environmental cues may influence hatching of eggs and enhance the success of infections. The two major endoparasitic groups of parasitic platyhelminths, cestodes (tapeworms) and digeneans (flukes), typically have high fecundity, infect more

Remote Control of Hand Actuators via Glove Sensors for Medical Care Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel textile‐based sensory glove–actuator system for remote medical care, explored through finite element simulations. By integrating capacitive sensors, pneumatic actuators, and machine learning, the system models real‐time hand movement control.

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

A comparative analysis of female genitalia of seven Old World snakes using a recently proposed technique

open access: yesActa Herpetologica
The diversity of genitalia has long intrigued evolutionary and functional morphology scientists, with a primary focus on male copulatory organs. Despite extensive studies on snake genitalia, particularly hemipenes, female copulatory organs remain ...

'The influence of geography on the development of early Rome' : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for a Master of Arts in History; School of Humanities at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Geography was an influential factor in the development of the site and city of Rome, affecting both the city itself, and the wider region. Rome was situated in a favorable position on the western cost of the Italian peninsula, with a rich hinterland ...

Persistent Cloaca [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, 2001
Hydrometrocolpos is a rare congenital disorder in which excessive mucus secretions accumulate from a genital tract obstruction resulting in cystic dilatation of the vagina and uterus. The spectrum of hydrometrocolpos is broad, ranging from mild cases undetected until adolescence to more severe conditions described prenatally as a large pelviabdominal ...
