Cystoscopic extraction of an unusual intravesical foreign body: A case report
UroPrecision, EarlyView.Abstract Background Foreign bodies (FBs) in the urogenital tract are considered surgical emergencies due to the risk of complications such as perforation, infection, and obstruction. FBs can be introduced into the urethra and migrate into the bladder. Various FBs, including pens, jump ropes, magnetic ball chains, and needles have been reported in the ...

Pressure Pulses Generated by Wire‐Guided Discharges in Water
High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The hydrodynamic characteristics of underwater wire‐guided discharges and their relationships with the wire length and pulsed circuit parameters are not fully understood. In this paper wire‐guided discharges using wires of length 3, 5 and 7 cm and diameter of 0.05 mm have been investigated. The energy available to the discharges was 162.3 J at

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.For the first time, predation and scavenging networks are directly compared within a single ecosystem. Using an 8‐year dataset of African mammals, including megaherbivores, this study reveals distinct structural rules and body mass constraints, providing a scalable framework for studying consumer–resource dynamics and ecosystem function.

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Bioethics and the World Order: A Curious Coincidence Between Chinese and African Approaches
Developing World Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The post‐1945 world order is standardly pictured as a Westphalian system, in which each state is equal under the law with sovereign authority over its territories. This paper argues that the Westphalian system is changing and examines the implications for bioethics. We show that cross‐border health, economic, ecologic, and sociopolitical risks
