Problem-Elephant Translocation: Translocating the Problem and the Elephant?
PLoS ONE, 2012 Human-elephant conflict (HEC) threatens the survival of endangered Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Translocating "problem-elephants" is an important HEC mitigation and elephant conservation strategy across elephant range, with hundreds translocated annually.

Cell Segmentation Beyond 2D—A Review of the State‐of‐the‐Art
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Cell segmentation underpins many biological image analysis tasks, yet most deep learning methods remain limited to 2D despite the inherently 3D nature of cellular processes. This review surveys segmentation approaches beyond 2D, comparing 2.5D and fully 3D methods, analyzing 31 models and 32 volumetric datasets, and introducing a unified reference ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Asparaginase is a critical treatment component for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoblastic lymphoma (ALL/LBL). However, the successful delivery of asparaginase‐based therapy remains challenging across care settings due to its complex administration, distinct toxicity profile, prolonged treatment duration, and the need for ...

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...
