The mechanism of labor in nonhuman primates: A look inside

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract While in humans, the flexed position of the fetus and its rotating course down the birth canal are well documented, in other primates the mechanism of labor is unknown. Despite the lack of comparative data, it is commonly assumed that the human obstetric mechanism is unique, and anthropologists have disputed when and why the transition to the ...

Postnatal craniomandibular growth in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Postnatal ontogeny in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina). Cranium and mandible grow rapidly until 5 years of age, followed by a deceleration and finally a stagnation. Abstract As secondarily aquatic carnivores, seals display several phenotypic differences compared to their terrestrial relatives.

Metaverse‐based virtual reality and spatial learning in cervicofacial anatomy: A curriculum‐embedded comparative study in undergraduate medical students

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract To compare a metaverse‐based interactive virtual reality (VR) session with a conventional 2D online lecture for learning cervicofacial anatomy. Single‐center, curriculum‐embedded, nonrandomized comparative study. Fourth‐year students attended a Zoom lecture (Conventional, n = 73); sixth‐year students completed an interactive VR session using ...

Incremental refinement of relevance rankings: Balancing relevance depth and scope

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Delivering both relevant and topically diverse results is a key challenge in information retrieval (IR). This study introduces a hybrid method that incrementally refines rankings by combining probabilistic topic modeling (latent dirichlet allocation [LDA]) with citation‐based pennant retrieval grounded in Relevance Theory (RT), optimizing for ...

The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.

Contrasting roles of school and public libraries in lower primary pupils' reading

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Libraries represent an important institutional component of children's reading socialisation, yet their role is often treated as uniform despite substantial differences between school and public libraries. This study examines how visits to school and public libraries relate to pupils' reading attitudes, practices and self‐assessed reading ...

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...
