Egg Chorion Morphology and Egg‐Laying Behaviour of Backswimmer Notonecta viridis Delcourt, 1909 (Heteroptera: Nepomorpha: Notonectidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the egg‐laying behaviour and chorionic morphology of the eggs of the backswimmer Notonecta viridis Delcourt, 1909 (Heteroptera: Notonectidae) were described in detail using stereo, light and electron microscopy. Female N. viridis lays its eggs individually, horizontally attached to the surface. Eggs are elliptical, approximately

The Early Upper Palaeolithic open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg, Germany, in the context of the northern central European Aurignacian

Boreas, EarlyView.
Our knowledge of the Early Upper Palaeolithic occupation in northern central Europe is very limited, and recent research at the open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg in Hesse, Germany, provides important new information on the Aurignacian. The site is rather small (26.5 m2) and spatial analysis identified a central hearth with two associated ...

GENETIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCING THE RESISTANCE OF TERMINAL CROSS CALVES TO TICK Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus AND HORN FLY Haematobia irritans

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2011
One of the main problems affecting cattle production in tropical regions is infestation by ectoparasites, particularly the tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus and the horn fly Haematobia irritans.

Chemoproteomic discovery of a brain‐penetrant, covalent NLRP3 inhibitor that binds a novel allosteric pocket

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
NLRP3 is a promising inflammatory target, but existing inhibitors lack diversity and brain penetrance, and none are approved. Using chemoproteomics, we discovered a novel series that binds to Cys463 in a previously uncharacterized pocket. Compounds showed nanomolar potency, brain exposure, and in vivo suppression of IL‐1β, supporting neuroinflammatory ...

UBVH: Unified Bounding Volume and Scene Geometry Representation for Ray Tracing

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Bounding volume hierarchies (BVHs) are currently the most common data structure used to accelerate ray tracing. The existing BVH methods distinguish between the bounding volume representation associated with the interior BVH nodes and the scene geometry representation associated with leaf nodes.

Register‐Efficient Linear‐Time Evaluation in the Bernstein Basis

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigate the evaluation of points and derivatives of Bézier curves and surfaces on modern architectures, focusing on performance and guided by numerical error bounds. While the de Casteljau algorithm remains the reference for numerical robustness, its linear working‐set size imposes substantial register pressure on GPUs.

Life‐stage variation in Sable Shearwater (Ardenna carneipes) physiology assessed using proteomics

Ibis, EarlyView.
Life‐stage transitions in seabirds involve substantial shifts in physiological demands, yet the molecular mechanisms underpinning these changes remain poorly resolved. Here we applied untargeted data‐independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA‐MS) to characterize and compare the plasma proteomes of fledgling and adult Sable Shearwaters Ardenna ...

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.
