Postcopulatory sexual selection [PDF]
The female reproductive tract is where competition between the sperm of different males takes place, aided and abetted by the female herself. Intense postcopulatory sexual selection fosters inter-sexual conflict and drives rapid evolutionary change to ...

3D MR Thermometry Using Bi‐Directional Segmented EPI for Transcranial‐Focused Ultrasound
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of replacing clinically utilized 2D thermometry with 3D segmented EPI‐based thermometry with equivalent accuracy, precision, and scan time. Methods A 3D segmented EPI (segEPI) trajectory was modified to allow readouts along both the forward and reverse direction for each phase encoding line, and the sequence

Abstract Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an important class of insects that are the most beneficial in terms of economy. Beeswax is the second most important bee products after honey. Its commercial importance is due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antiseptic as well as regenerative properties.
