Astragalus zhobensis, a new species of section Caprini (Fabaceae) from Zhob, northern Balochistan, Pakistan

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species Astragalus zhobensis, from Qamardin Karez, Zhob district, northern Balochistan, Pakistan is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to A. cartilagineus, but can be distinguished by strigose hairs 3–5 mm long, (not stiff 1.5−4.0 mm long hairs); stipules 5–15 mm (not 8−12 mm) long; leaflets in 4–6 pairs, (not 3–

Cabomba caroliniana and Schoenoplectus californicus as Antifouling Candidates: Anti‐Attachment and Toxicological Effects in Aurelia coerulea (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

3D vs. 4K Display System - Influence of “State-of-the-art”-Display Technique On Surgical Performance (IDOSP-Study) in minimally invasive surgery: protocol for a randomized cross-over trial

open access: yesTrials, 2019
Background Three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic vision is crucial to perform any kind of manual task. The reduction from real life 3D to virtual two-dimensional (2D) sight is a major challenge in minimally invasive surgery (MIS).

Guided Endodontics—Potential and Limitations

open access: yesAustralian Dental Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Guided Endodontics has emerged as a digital treatment concept designed to overcome the challenges associated with conventional access cavity preparation in teeth with pulp canal calcification. Calcification of the pulp (also referred to as obliteration or mineralization), often caused by trauma or chronic irritative stimuli, presents a ...

Genetic Mapping of Orofacial Traits Reveals a Single Genomic Region Associated With Differences in Multiple Parameters of Jaw Size Between Astyanax mexicanus Surface and Cavefish

open access: yesEvolution &Development, EarlyView.
By performing a genetic association study in cave × surface fish F2 hybrids, we discovered that premaxilla width, dentary length, and maxillary length are all significantly associated with a region on Chromosome 13 containing 109 genes. ABSTRACT The regulation of bone size is a poorly understood and complex developmental process.

Interocular Shift of Visual Attention Enhances Stereopsis and Visual Acuities of Anisometropic Amblyopes beyond the Critical Period of Visual Development: A Novel Approach

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmology, 2014
Aims. Increasing evidence shows that imbalanced suppressive drive prior to binocular combination may be the key factor in amblyopia. We described a novel binocular approach, interocular shift of visual attention (ISVA), for treatment of amblyopia in ...
