World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.Reoperation is often used as an outcome measure after ventral hernia repair but may underestimate the true recurrence rate, potentially leading to biased interpretation of studies using reoperation for recurrence as an outcome. This study aimed to determine the proportion of patients with recurrence after ventral hernia repair who undergo reoperation ...

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To solve the ion‐flow field of ultrahigh‐voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission lines under strong‐wind scenarios, the multiple relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method (MRT‐LBM) is adopted. Compared with previous ion‐flow studies predominantly based on the single relaxation time LBM, the MRT‐LBM framework provides improved numerical ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.In this study, the authors develop a new model to show that species contributions to parasite persistence can have strong, asynchronous temporal variability, often limiting the effectiveness of targeted seasonal parasite control. The model is broadly applicable for partitioning who, when, and what drive parasite persistence in multi‐host seasonal ...
