Temporal associations between ambrosia beetles and ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) artificially inoculated with Ceratocystis lukuohia

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract Wood boring ambrosia beetles play a central role in the spread of Ceratocystis wilt of ‘ōhi‘a, a fungal disease caused by Ceratocystis lukuohia that kills the bioculturally important ‘ōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) tree. Beetles contribute to the spread of the disease by extruding fungus‐infected wood particles (frass). Disease mitigation can

A Comparison Study Between Electrical Muscle Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation on Treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Transverse placement of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) electrodes across muscle fibers elicits localized contractions, facilitating greater active stretching (AS) of regions containing myofascial trigger points. This EMS + AS approach mimics passive stretching, with EMS providing resistance force similar to that typically applied by a therapist's ...

In Vitro Calcification Evaluation of Polycarbonate Urethane—Impact of Production Processes

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
The study shows that hot pressing induces chemical changes in PCU, promoting calcification, while solution‐cast patches remain unaffected. ABSTRACT Background Heart valve diseases remain a leading cause of death in industrialized nations. Polycarbonate urethane (PCU) is a promising material for heart valve prostheses due to its biocompatibility and low

Production of arsenical bronze using speiss on the Elephantine Island (Aswan, Egypt) during the Middle Kingdom (Middle Bronze Age) (c.2000–1650 BCE)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents the first direct evidence of the slags produced during the cementation alloying process of Cu with speiss inside ceramic crucibles, thus representing Cu alloying with As in Middle Kingdom Egypt. The settlement deposits from the Middle Bronze Age were excavated on Elephantine Island, within modern Aswan.

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the
