Health risk assessment of heavy metal accumulation in fruits exposed to geothermal waters: a case study and global implications

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The present study investigated the potential health risks of heavy metals (HMs) in the fruits and leaves of mulberry and sour cherry trees exposed to water from Sivas geothermal basin (Turkey). RESULTS The target HMs were ranked according to their hazard index as: Cd < Pb < Zn < Cu < Ni < Mn < Cr. The total hazard index for mulberry

Investigation of Tire‑Tread Rubber Hysteretic Behaviour on Aggregates Through Experiments and Modelling

Journal of Tribology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Friction between tire rubber and pavement is governed by the interplay of hysteresis and adhesion yet their individual contributions remain difficult to quantify. This study addresses the long‐standing challenge by using reciprocating sliding tests by means of a tribometer and viscoelastic finite element modelling (FEM) to investigate rubber ...

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

Bayesian multi‐state mark‐resight modeling of survival and cause‐specific mortality from telemetered individuals: European fallow deer in Australia

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We illustrate how a Bayesian multi‐state mark‐resight (MSMR) modeling approach can be used to estimate survival and cause‐specific mortality probabilities of GPS‐collared European fallow deer in southeastern Australia. Our case study illustrates the flexibility of Bayesian MSMR models for incorporating imperfect detection probability (arising from ...

Current concepts in isolated and combined injuries of the medial collateral ligament complex—Part I: Anatomy, biomechanics, clinical and radiological examination of the medial collateral ligament of the knee

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Injuries involving the medial collateral ligament (MCL), or combined injuries to both the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and MCL, are common and present considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Better understanding of MCL anatomy and biomechanics, especially in combined ACL–MCL injuries, has driven the need for updated clinical ...
