Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Two Central Nervous System Tumors in One Catheter Lab: Time to Rethink Radiation Protection

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Very little research has been done on the possible effects that repeated, frequent, and low‐dose ionizing radiation exposure has on the long‐term health of interventional cardiologists. Aims Following the diagnosis in the same year of two central nervous system tumors in two operators working in the same catheter laboratory, we ...

GastroNet: A robust attention‐based deep learning and cosine similarity feature selection framework for gastrointestinal disease classification from endoscopic images

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Diseases of the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract significantly affect the quality of human life and have a high fatality rate. Accurate diagnosis of GI diseases plays a pivotal role in healthcare systems. However, processing large amounts of medical image data can be challenging for radiologists and other medical professionals, increasing the risk ...

Aging: damage accumulation versus increasing mortality rate [PDF]

If aging is understood as some process of damage accumulation, it does not necessarily lead to increasing mortality rates. Within the framework of a suggested generalization of the Strehler-Mildwan (1960) model, we show that even for models with ...

TreeMig framework ver. 1.0: an R package with GUI to simulate spatio‐temporal forest dynamics

Ecography, EarlyView.
Spatio‐temporal vegetation models are essential for simulating dynamics and shifts in species distributions over large areas, particularly under global change. One such model is the dynamic forest landscape model TreeMig. We have developed a framework that makes the model more user‐friendly, improves its functionality, and expands its possibilities ...

Actuarial Applications and Estimation of Extended CreditRisk+

Risks, 2017
We introduce an additive stochastic mortality model which allows joint modelling and forecasting of underlying death causes. Parameter families for mortality trends can be chosen freely. As model settings become high dimensional, Markov chain Monte Carlo

Fully automated three‐dimensional deep learning‐based magnetic resonance imaging segmentation of brain cavities in epilepsy surgery

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective There are several clinical and research applications for determining the amount of brain tissue resected after epilepsy surgery; however, manual segmentation of postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is imprecise and time‐consuming.

Flexible wearable electronics for cardiovascular monitoring from surface signals to deep physiological insights

FlexMat, EarlyView.
This review organizes flexible wearable electronics for cardiovascular monitoring into four interconnected information layers: surface electrophysiology, hemodynamic sensing, vascular imaging, and biofluid biomarker analysis. This framework clarifies how electrical rhythm, vascular loading, structural and flow‐related features, and biochemical states ...
