Nonhermitian transport effects in coupled-resonator optical waveguides [PDF]
, 2014 Coupled-resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) are known to have interesting and useful dispersion properties. Here, we study the transport in these waveguides in the general case where each resonator is open and asymmetric, i.e., is leaky and possesses no

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract A recent trend in healthcare education has been the increasing emphasis on the development of humanism and empathy in students. Within anatomy education, some institutions have implemented curricular innovations such as donor non‐anonymization to facilitate this development.

DNA Vaccine for West Nile Virus Infection in Fish Crows (Corvus ossifragus)
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 A DNA vaccine for West Nile virus (WNV) was evaluated to determine whether its use could protect fish crows (Corvus ossifragus) from fatal WNV infection.

Falling pupil numbers and school closures: Setting a research agenda for a new era of precarity
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This paper explores the significant phenomenon of decreasing pupil numbers in England due to lower birth rates and the impact of a school closure on a school community. It then discusses how the sociology of education might research this major issue.

The costs of extra‐pair behaviours in birds
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extra‐pair behaviours – reproductive behaviours, including those related to copulation and paternity of offspring, amongst animals outside of a social pair bond – have long intrigued behavioural ecologists, particularly from the female animal's perspective.

Rapid Antigen-Capture Assay To Detect West Nile Virus in Dead Corvids
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 The utility of the VecTest antigen-capture assay to detect West Nile virus (WNV) in field-collected dead corvids was evaluated in Manitoba and Ontario, Canada, in 2001 and 2002. Swabs were taken from the oropharynx, cloaca, or both of 109 American Crows,

Managing Urban Crow Populations in Japan
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2020 Crow (Corvus spp.) populations are increasing globally. This is cause for concern because overabundant crow populations can damage agricultural crops, harm native wildlife, and become a nuisance in urban areas. In Japan, the carrion (C. corone) and large-
