International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction It is recommended to detect lupus anticoagulant (LA) using two phospholipid‐dependent clotting assays, including a LA‐sensitive activated partial‐thromboplastin‐time (aPTT). Among these reagents, Staclot‐LA assay is performed on a mixture of test and normal plasma with and without hexagonal phase phospholipids.

A matheuristic for the traveling salesman problem with positional consistency constraints
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract We propose a matheuristic for the traveling salesman problem with positional consistency constraints, where we seek to generate a set of routes with minimum total cost, in which the nodes visited in more than one route (consistent nodes) must occupy the same relative position in all routes.

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heat stress imposes significant challenges to welfare, health, and productivity of lactating sows due to their limited thermoregulatory capacity and increased metabolic heat load. Genetic selection for improved heat tolerance is a promising yet complex approach, given the large number of biological processes involved in heat stress response ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Anaesthetic management plays a crucial role in maintaining the welfare and physiological stability of fish during routine aquaculture and research procedures. The essential oil of Rosmarinus officinalis (ROEO) has emerged as a promising natural anaesthetic; however, its cardiophysiological effects in Amazonian species remain underexplored ...
