Seasonal Migrations of Pantala flavescens (Odonata: Libellulidae) in Middle Asia and Understanding of the Migration Model in the Afro-Asian Region Using Stable Isotopes of Hydrogen

open access: yesInsects, 2020
In Middle Asia, the dragonfly Pantala flavescens makes regular seasonal migrations. In spring, sexually mature dragonflies (immigrants) arrive in this region for reproduction.

Aerodynamic Effects of Corrugation on Dragonfly Hindwing

open access: yesHangkong gongcheng jinzhan, 2019
To study aerodynamic performance of the dragonfly wing at gliding flight at different Reynolds numbers, a three-dimensional model of the dragonfly hindwing with corrugation and a three-dimensional flat plate with the same shape of the dragonfly hindwing ...

Impact of a small artificial water source on the diversity of odonates (Insecta : Odonata) in an urban landscape [PDF]

open access: yesArthropods, 2021
Rapid urbanisation is mainly responsible for the degradation and fragmentation of natural ecosystems in urban areas. Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) constitute an important part of urban biodiversity.

Expanding the Cultural Reach of Zoos

open access: yesJournal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens
It is surprising that, despite focusing on delivering engaging and informative content to zoo and aquarium visitors nationwide, relatively few zoos or aquariums incorporate culture or the extensive species and place-based knowledge of local communities ...

DNA Barcoding and New Records of Odonates (Insecta: Odonata) from Paraíba State, Brazil

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Odonates (Insecta: Odonata) are important insects in the food chains of freshwater environments around the world, being used as a model species for areas of behavior and analysis of environmental quality. In Brazil, especially in the Northeastern region,

Patient‐Reported Outcomes with Selpercatinib Among Patients with RET Fusion–Positive Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer in the Phase I/II LIBRETTO‐001 Trial

open access: yesThe Oncologist, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Background LIBRETTO‐001 is an ongoing, global, open‐label, phase I/II study of selpercatinib in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. We report interim patient‐reported outcomes in patients with RET fusion–positive non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The Effect of the Phase Angle between the Forewing and Hindwing on the Aerodynamic Performance of a Dragonfly-Type Ornithopter

open access: yesAerospace, 2016
Dragonflies achieve agile maneuverability by flapping four wings independently. Different phase angles between the flapping forewing and hindwing have been observed during various flight modes.

Mechanical Properties of Architected Polymer Lattice Materials: A Comparative Study of Additive Manufacturing and CAD Using FEM and µ‐CT

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study examines how pore shape and manufacturing‐induced deviations affect the mechanical properties of 3D‐printed lattice materials with constant porosity. Combining µ‐CT analysis, FEM, and compression testing, the authors show that structural imperfections reduce stiffness and strength, while bulk material inhomogeneities probably enhance ...

Patient‐Reported Outcomes with Selpercatinib Treatment Among Patients with RET‐Mutant Medullary Thyroid Cancer in the Phase I/II LIBRETTO‐001 Trial

open access: yesThe Oncologist, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Background Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) standard of care includes multikinase inhibitors (MKIs), which can exacerbate disease‐related diarrhea, primarily because of non‐RET kinase inhibition. We report diarrhea and other patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) with selpercatinib, a highly selective RET inhibitor, among patients with RET‐mutant MTC ...
