White-headed Vultures Trigonoceps occipitalis show visual field characteristics of hunting raptors [PDF]

, 2017
The visual fields of Aegypiinae vultures have been shown to be adapted primarily to meet two key perceptual challenges of their obligate carrion-feeding behaviour: scanning the ground and preventing the sun’s image falling upon the retina.

$\mathcal {C}-$IBI: Targeting cumulative coordination within an iterative protocol to derive coarse-grained models of (multi-component) complex fluids

, 2016
We present a coarse-graining strategy that we test for aqueous mixtures. The method uses pair-wise cumulative coordination as a target function within an iterative Boltzmann inversion (IBI) like protocol.

Procalcitonin at 12–36 hours of fever for prediction of invasive bacterial infections in hospitalized febrile neonates

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
AimWe aimed to investigate the performance of procalcitonin (PCT) assay between 12 and 36 h after onset of fever (PCT H12-H36) to predict invasive bacterial infection (IBI) (ie, meningitis and/or bacteremia) in febrile neonates.MethodsWe retrospectively ...

Development of a phytoplankton-based index of biotic integrity for ecological health assessment in the Yangtze River

Ecological Processes, 2023
Background The application of index of biotic integrity (IBI) to evaluate river health can be an essential method for river ecosystem management. However, these types of methods were developed in small, low-order streams, and are therefore, infrequently ...

Ideation as an intellectual information acquisition and use context: Investigating game designers’ information-based ideation behavior [PDF]

, 2019
Human Information Behavior (HIB) research commonly examines behavior in the context of why information is acquired and how it will be used, but usually at the level of the work or everyday-life tasks the information will support.

Hierarchically Engineered Multi‐Enzyme Nanoreactors for in vitro Drug Biosynthesis and Pathway Transplantation Into Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A hierarchically structured metal–organic framework (eMIL) is shown to host the complete six‐enzyme biosynthesis pathway for the anti‐cancer pigment violacein, reshaping reaction dynamics and multiplying in vitro yields. eMIL nanoreactors deliver this reconstituted bacterial multi‐protein system into mammalian cells, where cell‐derived substrates and ...
