Alexithymia and fear of pain independently predict heat pain intensity ratings among undergraduate university students. [PDF]

Pain Res Manag, 2009
BACKGROUND: Alexithymia is a disturbance in awareness and cognitive processing of affect that is associated with over‐reporting of physical symptoms, including pain. The relationship between alexithymia and other psychological constructs that are often associated with pain has yet to be evaluated.

Computed tomographic scan evaluation of pulmonary blastomycosis. [PDF]

Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol, 2009
BACKGROUND: Blastomycosis is an uncommon granulomatous pulmonary and extrapulmonary infectious disease caused by the thermally dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. Diagnosis may be delayed or difficult because of varied presentation. The characteristics of blastomycosis on computed tomographic (CT) scan of the chest are not well characterized ...

Heliox simulations for initial management of congenital laryngotracheal stenosis

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 58, Issue 1, Page 230-238, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Objectives Congenital laryngotracheal stenosis is rare, potentially severe, and difficult to manage. Heliox is a medical gas effective in obstructive airway pathologies, given its physical properties. This study aims to model the interest of Heliox in reducing the respiratory work in congenital laryngotracheal stenosis, using numerical fluid ...

Optimum Trombe wall thickness in the Mediterranean Tunisian context: An energetic and economic study

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 10, Issue 8, Page 2930-2939, August 2022., 2022
Optimum Trombe wall thickness should be determined according to an energetic and economic analysis for each material used. The optimum thickness for stone and concrete are, respectively, 34 and 32 cm with a payback period of 2.85 and 2.65 years. Material with low thermal capacity, little optimum thickness are obtained but with the highest life cycle ...

Water Vapor Transport Across an Arid Sand Surface—Non‐Linear Thermal Coupling, Wind‐Driven Pore Advection, Subsurface Waves, and Exchange With the Atmospheric Boundary Layer

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 127, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Although vapor exchanged across hyper‐arid surfaces without free liquid affects the water budget of sand seas, its mechanism is poorly documented for want of accurate instruments with fine spatial resolution. To rectify this, we report bulk density profiles and spatiotemporal variations of vapor mass fraction just below the surface of a mobile

CFD Numerical Investigation of a New Solar Flat Air‐Collector Having Different Obstacles with Various Configurations and Arrangements

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
This work deals with a numerical parametric optimization study of a new Solar Flat Air Collector (SFAC) configuration. The CFD numerical parametric study investigates various SFAC structures inside the air cavity without obstacles and with spherical, cubic, cylindrical, and pyramidal obstacles.

Boron nitride for excitonics, nano photonics, and quantum technologies

Nanophotonics, Volume 9, Issue 11, Page 3483-3504, June 2018., 2018
Abstract We review the recent progress regarding the physics and applications of boron nitride bulk crystals and its epitaxial layers in various fields. First, we highlight its importance from optoelectronics side, for simple devices operating in the deep ultraviolet, in view of sanitary applications.

Phylogenomics of Messor harvester ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Stenammini) unravels their biogeographical origin and diversification patterns La phylogénomique des fourmis moissonneuses Messor (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Stenammini) clarifie leur origine biogéographique et leurs patrons de diversification

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1025-1040, October 2025.
Phylogenomic analysis of 2524 ultraconserved‐element loci from 58 Messor harvester ant species helps in redefining taxonomic groups of the genus. Messor ants emerged in the Irano‐Indian area around 20 million years ago, rapidly dispersing to the Western Palaearctic and Northeastern Africa during the early Miocene.

Synthesis of a new amino acid derivative with long‐lasting hair shape control effects and elucidation of its mechanisms

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 585-596, August 2025.
We have discovered 2‐(2‐aminoethylthio) succinic acid with a long‐lasting hair shape control effect. We have demonstrated its hair straightening and curl retention effect, and clarified its mechanism. Abstract Objective Hair is a crucial aspect of an individual's physical appearance.

Pollen morphology, deep learning, phylogenetics, and the evolution of environmental adaptations in Podocarpus

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 3, Page 1460-1473, August 2025.
Summary Podocarpus pollen morphology is shaped by both phylogenetic history and the environment. We analyzed the relationship between pollen traits quantified using deep learning and environmental factors within a comparative phylogenetic framework.
