Ectoparasite Diversity and Infection Burden on Two Sympatric Bat Species, <i>Myotis lucifugus</i> and <i>M. septentrionalis</i> (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae). [PDF]
Ectoparasite community diversity is similar between two endangered bat species in Atlantic Canada. Ectoparasite burden of the two most common ectoparasites varies between bat species in conjunction with their behavior and roosting differences. ABSTRACT Parasites are an abundant and diverse group of organisms that are often excluded from biodiversity ...

Nurses during war: Profiles-based risk and protective factors. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Nurses in southern Israel's public hospitals were exposed to unusual traumatic events following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, and the ensuing Swords of Iron War. This study aimed to clarify the complexity of wartime nursing by identifying profiles based on risk factors (i.e., psychological distress and adjustment ...

Closed timelike curves and chronology protection in quantum and classical simulators [PDF]
In principe, General Relativity seems to allow the existence of closed timelike curves (CTC). However, when quantum effects are considered, it is likely that their existence is prevented by some kind of chronological protection mechanism, as Hawking ...

Pulsar Jets: Implications for Neutron Star Kicks and Initial Spins [PDF]
We study implications for the apparent alignment of the spin axes, proper-motions, and polarization vectors of the Crab and Vela pulsars. The spin axes are deduced from recent Chandra X-ray Observatory images that reveal jets and nebular structure having

Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

The Impact of War on Asthma, a Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis: An EAACI Task Force Report
ABSTRACT Wartime events have been followed by an increase in asthma prevalence, which is believed to result from a combination of environmental hazards and psychological trauma. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to investigate this relationship by pooling available data on various wartime exposures, such as occupational, environmental, and
