TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Current trends encouraging a move away from monolingual teaching have sparked a renewed interest in the role of translation in language instruction. Yet, there are few theoretically and empirically grounded proposals regarding specific uses of translation in the language classroom.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.Abstract Brain tumour segmentation employing MRI images is important for disease diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning. Till now, many encoder‐decoder architectures have been developed for this purpose, with U‐Net being the most extensively utilised. However, these architectures require a lot of parameters to train and have a semantic gap. Some

Trans‐oceanic migration and wind utilization by Amur Falcons (Falco amurensis)
Ibis, EarlyView.The Amur Falcon Falco amurensis performs one of the world's longest raptor migrations, involving a non‐stop crossing of the Indian Ocean of approximately 2800 km. While the existence of this route is known, the mechanistic details of wind exploitation and seasonal navigation remain to be fully elucidated.

Dragonfly functional connectivity responses are dynamic relative to drought
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.During drought, dragonfly species richness decreases. Yet, dragonfly assemblages show a higher propensity for dispersal during drought. Dispersal pathways vary among the wet and dry periods, and relative to temporal changes in the landscape. While some dragonfly species can traverse plantation compartments, conservation corridors facilitate functional ...

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim Formation of a mineralized dentine bridge is the hallmark of successful direct pulp capping (DPC). Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine are widely used capping materials, but in vivo evidence comparing their regenerative potential remains inconclusive. This study used a controlled murine model to compare dentine bridge formation

International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE), 2019 This paper introduced two optimization algorithms which are Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) and Dragonfly Algorithm (DA) for extracting the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) polarization curve parameters. The results produced by both algorithms are being compared to observe their performance.

How do forelimb long bones adapt in rhinoceroses? An in‐depth examination of their microanatomy
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Here, we study the bone structure in the forelimb long bones of the five extant species of rhinoceroses. By combining traditional description of virtual sections made on the bones (A) with in‐depth cartographies of the variation of bone compactness and anisotropy (B), we show how bone tissue can adapt to extreme forces and constraints in the second ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.New World vultures are the only avian clade proposed to lack a syrinx and have been described as non‐vocal. Using dissection, diceCT, and histology, we demonstrate that cathartid vultures have novel syringeal features that form a syrinx and vocal characterization reveals that they produce more complex vocalizations than previously reported.

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract 3D digital evaluation of the periodontal and peri‐implant tissue, including CBCT, intraoral scanning, optical surface scanning, and ultrasonography, is being used in the clinical arena with increasing frequency. Thus, to validate the utilization of 3D digital analysis for this purpose, a critical evaluation of the reliability of digital ...
