An investigation of vitamin D metabolism in kiwi (Apteryx mantelli), tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) and New Zealand sea lion (Phocarctos hookeri) and the relationship of vitamin D metabolism with their life history characteristics : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Veterinary Studies at Massey University, Turitea, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, has a wide range of functions in vertebrates. The aim of the study was to determine if the evolutionary history of different animal species affects their predominant route of vitamin D metabolism.

A Systematic Review on Disease‐Modifying Therapies in Parkinsonian Disorders
Parkinsonian disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, multiple system atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy, are progressive neurodegenerative conditions with no treatment options to slow disease progression. This systematic review provides an overview of evidence of disease‐modifying therapies that have been evaluated in ...

Forensic Iris Image-Based Post-Mortem Interval Estimation
Post-mortem iris recognition is an emerging application of iris-based human identification in a forensic setup. One factor that may be useful in conditioning iris recognition methods is the tissue decomposition level, which is correlated with the post-mortem interval (PMI), \ie the number of hours that have elapsed since death.

Cu‐doped spinel MnCo1.5Cu0.5O4 exhibits excellent conductivity and stability as SOC contact material. After 1000‐h aging at 850 °C, the contact layer maintains a 10 mΩ cm2 ASR value, and a single‐cell stack achieves a H2O/CO2 co‐electrolysis power density of 0.52 W cm−2.

To achieve stable and zero‐expansion Li deposition at high charge rate in lithium metal batteries, a multifunctional macroporous scaffold utilizing the semiconducting properties of PPy is developed. This rationally engineered scaffold enables stable and dendrite‐free plating/stripping without volume expansion even at high current densities of 5 C rate,

Postmortem MRI reveals distinct structural features in sudden unexpected death in epilepsy
Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities have been reported in individuals who later die from sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), but their specificity and predictive value remain uncertain. Postmortem MRI (PM‐MRI) offers a unique opportunity to distinguish structural features associated with SUDEP from changes related to ...
