TTC21B: From Modifier to Causative Gene in Joubert Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biallelic pathogenic variants in TTC21B, encoding the retrograde intraflagellar transport protein IFT139, are a known cause of renal and skeletal ciliopathies. Single heterozygous variants in this gene were found to be enriched in a cohort of patients with various ciliopathy phenotypes, including three individuals with Joubert syndrome (JS), a

ANFIS-Controlled Boost and Bidirectional Buck-Boost DC-DC Converters for Solar PV, Fuel Cell, and BESS-Based Microgrid Application

International Transactions on Electrical Energy Systems
DC-DC converters are essential for integrating distributed energy resources into microgrid (MG) systems. These converters are designed to incorporate intermittent renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, fuel cells (FCs), and ...

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

Improvement to East African style experimental huts allows for more effective evaluation of vector control products for protection against vector-borne diseases

Parasites & Vectors
Background East African style experimental huts have been used in Tanzania since 1963 to evaluate vector control interventions such as insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying. Over time, these huts have been modified to include eave baffles

Energy-saving practices among postgraduate students: A case study at the Pan African University

Aquademia
Currently, energy efficiency with energy conservation are key topics that are in discussion among various scholars and communities. Energy efficiency is influenced by energy savings. In the modern era of development, energy saving is believed to be tackled through two main approaches: (1) change in behavior and (2) development of new technologies. Thus,

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Regional variability in skull sexual dimorphism: Olive baboons, blue monkeys, and vervets confirm the posterior region of the skull and the snout as opposite extremes of sex differences in Old World monkeys

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study, alongside prior work on crab‐eating macaques with O'Higgins, investigates regional variation in skull sexual dimorphism across different species of Old World monkeys. Findings reveal consistent patterns: the posterior skull regions (mandibular vertical ramus, chondrocranium and, possibly, the cranial vault) exhibit lower dimorphism,
