Nitroxide‐Mediated Polymerization Synthesis of Geminal Bisphosphonate‐Functionalized (Co)polymers and Their Affinity to Hydroxyapatite Surface

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A novel styrenic monomer bearing gem‐bisphosphonate groups is synthesized in a single step. The nitroxide‐mediated (co)polymerization of this monomer proceeds in a well‐controlled manner, yielding bisphosphonate‐functionalized (co)polymers with low dispersity.

Delousing performance of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) and lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus): seasonal consistency and the challenge of cryptic lice for lumpfish

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ballan wrasse and lumpfish effectively reduce sea lice on salmon year round, although lumpfish struggle with cryptic lice, highlighting new considerations for lice management. Abstract BACKGROUND Cleaner fish play a crucial role in controlling caligid sea lice in Atlantic salmon aquaculture across the North Atlantic.

Roughness Measurements at Small and Uneven Surfaces of Ceramic Foam Filters

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the possibility of roughness characterization of ceramic foam filters using a laser scanning microscope, examining the influence of magnification, measured area, cutoff wavelength (λc), measured roughness parameter, and position within the ceramic foam on the measured roughness data. Firstly, the effect of magnification

Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We

Quantitative micro‐XRF combined with X‐ray imaging reveals correlations between Zn concentration and dentin tubule porosity across entire teeth

VIEW, EarlyView.
The combination of calibrated micro‐CT and quantitative micro‐XRF measurement facilitates the correlation of density and composition in the 3D macro‐structure of teeth. Zn concentration in dentin increases by a factor of 10 toward the pulp. Incidentally, the overall density decreases, showing an association between Zn and the dentin tissue porosity ...

A Case Report on Rehabilitation of the Asiatic Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) in the Wild 亚洲黑熊 (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) 野外放归野化案例报告

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

Feeding Management of African Rhinos (Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis) in European Zoos

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
The average estimated diets (in % dry matter) of white rhinos (C. simum) and black rhinos (D. bicornis) in European zoos differ in the proportion of (pelleted) compound feed and other non‐forage items. The reason for this difference is elusive but possibly related to creating more complicated diets for browsers. ABSTRACT White rhinos (WR, Ceratotherium

First Vasectomy Procedure Successfully Performed on a Southern African Male Giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa)

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
First successful vasectomy in a southern African male giraffe, Giraffa camelopardis giraffa ABSTRACT This study reports the first successful vasectomy on a southern African male giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis giraffa). The goal of the procedure was to create a teaser male for reproductive studies.

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.
