Between Droughts and Floods: The Seasonal Response of Freshwater Snails in Artificial Reservoirs in the Brazilian Semiarid Region

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,

In vitro and in cellulo ApoE particle formation, isolation, and characterization

STAR Protocols, 2022
Summary: Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) particles are responsible for packing and transporting lipids throughout aqueous environments. We detail steps to assess in vitro particles forming from artificial membranes using right-angle light scattering and to ...

Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the images of random fields

, 2010
Let $X=\{X(t),t\in\mathbb{R}^N\}$ be a random field with values in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For any finite Borel measure $\mu$ and analytic set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the image measure $\mu_X$ and image set $X(E)$ are ...

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

A comparative study of postoperative airway management between traditional nasal packing and modified nasal airway after nasal surgeries

Journal of University Medical & Dental College, 2022
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: One of the most common challenging complications after nasal surgeries is maintaining airways. The study aimed to use an alternative technique instead of nasal packing in the immediate postoperative period undergoing different ...

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Fundamental development of the particulate percent packing efficiency combining both coating particulate and asphalt aggregate packing technology

Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Engineering
A primary objective of this study was to evaluate how the more fundamental blending approach to optimize the packing of pigments in coatings can potentially be used to improve the packing of the asphalt-aggregate blends.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.

Complex continued fractions with restricted entries

Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 1998
We study special infinite iterated function systems derived from complex continued fraction expansions with restricted entries. We focus our attention on the corresponding limit set whose Hausdorff dimension will be denoted by $h$. Our primary goal is to
