Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores

Oikos, EarlyView.
Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Autonomous Decision‐Making for Cooperative Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles: A Search and Rescue Real World Application

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the first end‐to‐end framework that combines guidance, navigation, and centralized task allocation for multiple UAVs performing autonomous search‐and‐rescue (SAR) in GNSS‐denied indoor environments. A twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient controller is trained with an artificial potential field (APF) reward that ...

Synthesis of Samarium‐incorporated X‐ray‐sensitive nanoparticles and hydrogels: Diverse applications in radiation monitoring and dynamic information display

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Sm3+‐doped α‐NaLuF4 and β‐NaLuF4 were synthesized. The X‐ray‐activated persistent luminescence abilities and afterglow properties can be well controlled. Sm3+‐doped β‐NaLuF4 exhibits remarkable afterglow ability. The hexagonal β‐NaLuF4:3%Sm3+‐incorporated hydrogel can be further programmed with other types of hydrogels to enable tunable emission ...

Instilling Confidence in First Aid and CPR Training: Alternatives to Traditional Methods

International Journal of First Aid Education, 2019
The conference weighed the benefits of using simulation manikins able to give performance feedback in CPR and first aid training to the prohibitive cost, particularly of their high feedback models. Participants engaged with different models and discussed

Thermal Manikin of Infant

Engineering, 2019
Compared to an adult, an infant requires more consideration regarding the thermal environment so it is necessary to evaluate the thermal environment as it affects infants. However, experiments on infant subjects regarding their thermal environment based on the different heat balance of their body cannot ethically be conducted. We could instead consider

Secularism, Gender and Masculinity in Nineteenth‐Century Cremation in Europe and the USA

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay explores, from transnational perspectives, the early history of modern cremation, which developed in the long nineteenth century with secularist connotations. I argue that the beginnings of modern cremation were shaped by bourgeois men who claimed certain identifiers for themselves in a gendering and Othering way.

Flap Anatomies and Victorian Veils: Penetrating the Female Reproductive Interior

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the reappearance in the early nineteenth century of anatomical flapbooks in the context of obstetrical education in Britain, America and France. It asks why liftable paper flaps were reintroduced at this time after their disappearance from medical atlases in the eighteenth century.

Efficacy of and Satisfaction with an In-house Developed Natural Rubber Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Manikin

Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2019
Introduction: A barrier to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training in low-income countries is limited resources. Our goal was to build a CPR training model of simple design that would provide a good feedback system. Methods: We developed a low-cost,
