Human-caused wolf mortality persists for years after discontinuation of hunting

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractBy the mid-twentieth century, wolves were nearly extinct in the lower 48 states, with a small number surviving in northern Minnesota. After wolves were placed on the endangered species list in 1973, the northern Minnesota wolf population increased and stabilized by the early 2000s.

Considerations for Issues of Regression to the Mean and Contextual Effects in Clinical Trials for Pain in Rheumatic Diseases

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Recently, there has been growing discussion about how to best assess pain in clinical trials in rheumatic diseases. Reliable measurement of pain outcomes is essential for accurately determining the effectiveness of treatments. Although pain intensity is the most common measure of change in pain trials, other pain‐related measures, such as pain ...

Persistence of normotension after discontinuation of lifestyle intervention in the Trial of TONE [PDF]

American Journal of Hypertension, 2002
Abstract Background Weight loss and sodium reduction programs are effective in treating hypertension, but there is little information about the persistence of the benefit after discontinuation of the intervention. Methods The Trial of Nonpharmacologic Interventions in the Elderly (TONE) was a four-center controlled clinical trial of weight loss,

Effect of Copper Content on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of As‐Cast Refractory MoNbTi Multiprincipal Element Alloys

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Copper addition profoundly impacts MoNbTi multiprincipal element alloys. This study reveals copper's dual role, promoting microstructural refinement and strengthening intermetallics at optimal concentrations. An ideal copper content significantly boosts hardness and compressive strength, achieving superior mechanical performance.

Machine learning approaches to predicting no-shows in pediatric medical appointment

npj Digital Medicine, 2022
Patients’ no-shows, scheduled but unattended medical appointments, have a direct negative impact on patients’ health, due to discontinuity of treatment and late presentation to care. They also lead to inefficient use of medical resources in hospitals and

The Structural Refinement of Commercial‐Purity Copper Processed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing with Low Strain Amplitude

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Equal channel angular pressing of commercial pure copper under low strain amplitude (≈0.48) induces concurrent continuous and localized discontinuous dynamic recrystallization, forming a duplex structure influenced by strain heterogeneity and recovery. Moderate hardening after 4–12 passes results from progressive high‐angle grain boundary formation via

Continuity and discontinuity of the debate around fascist art in Toti Scialoja’s critical meditation and in the querelle with Renato Guttuso (1944-1947)

piano b, 2018
The essay examines the activity of Toti Scialoja as art critic for the review «Mercurio» between 1944 and 1947, when he proceeds to a precocious analysis of the preceding thirty years, looking for an Italian and international line of painting whit a ...

Matrix Tropism Influences Endometriotic Cell Attachment Patterns

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The influence of substrate stiffness and multicellular coculture on endometriotic cell attachment to extracellular matrix‐laden microarrayed islands is reported. This model investigates early endometriotic cell attachment, aiming to capture “lesion initiation events”.
