T-splines mesh generation for complex geometries: Multipatch-NURBS to product-form-T-splines conversion

Computational Mechanics
Abstract We present a T-splines mesh generation method for complex geometries, enabling good local mesh refinement in isogeometric analysis (IGA), with the continuity and smoothness desired. Good local mesh refinement enhances the IGA computational efficiency by having a higher density of control points only in places and directions ...

Previously undocumented regional variability in crab‐eating macaque skull sexual dimorphism and its implications for biological and morphometric studies

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In a large sample of adult crab‐eating macaques, we quantified sexual dimorphism in size, shape, and covariance across the whole skull and among anatomical regions of the cranium and mandible. All regions showed significant mean sex differences, but the magnitude of size and shape dimorphism varied substantially.

Data-driven targets for predicting outcomes in patients with HIV infection and tuberculous meningitis in China

BMJ Neurology Open
Objectives For people living with HIV (PLWH) and tuberculous meningitis (TBM), current studies on risk stratification and poor prognosis lack a clear optimal threshold.

Developmental differences in cortical bone structure in chimpanzee and human femora reflect early locomotor independence in humans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cortical bone structure of long bone diaphyses changes throughout growth via skeletal modeling and has important implications for bone strength and structural integrity. Ontogenetic trends in diaphyseal structure have been identified in both chimpanzees and humans but it is not yet clear how these trends compare given notable differences ...

Prophylactic Enoxaparin Reduces Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism Compared With No Chemoprophylaxis Within 95 Days After Knee Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To investigate whether prophylactic use of low‐molecular‐weight heparin (enoxaparin) after knee arthroscopy reduces the incidence of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared with no postoperative pharmacological prophylaxis. Methods We conducted a population‐based cohort study using linked national insurance and hospital data from ...

Longitudinal Modulation of the Gut Microbiome and Growth Performance by Phytochemicals as Antibiotic Alternatives in Swine Production

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We conducted a longitudinal trial across nursery, growing, and finishing phases, showing that phytochemical supplementation as a potential antibiotic alternative reduced potential pathogens and promoted beneficial Lactobacillus amylovorus in the nursery phase, and enriched amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism pathways (prediction) during finishing ...

Boyanov-Naydenov problem and Kolmogorov type inequalities for positive (negative) parts of functions

Researches in Mathematics
We prove that Boyanov-Naidenov problem $\|x^{(k)}_{\pm}\|_{q,\, \mu} \to \sup$ on classes of functions $\Omega^r_p(A_0, A_r):=\{x\in L^r_{\infty}: \|x^{(r)}\|_{\infty}\le A_r, L(x)_p\le A_0 \}$, where $k= 0,1,...,r-1$, $q \ge 1$ for $k\ge 1$, $q \ge p ...

Challenges and Opportunities in Multi‐Method Integrated Geophysical Prospection of Buried Building Remains at the Sanctuary of Olympia

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ancient Olympia was one of the most important sanctuaries and the venue for the Olympic Games in Greek and Roman times. Its remains are located in the Olympia Terrace (Peloponnese, Greece) at the present‐day confluence of the rivers Alpheios and Kladeos at the base of Mount Kronos.

Completion vs. early discontinuation of chemotherapy and the impact on 5‐year all‐cause mortality in women treated for early‐stage breast cancer from 2015 to 2020: A cohort study using a target trial emulation approach

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Chemotherapy is given for early‐stage breast cancer; however, some patients discontinue before completing all planned cycles. This study investigated the impact of early chemotherapy discontinuation on treatment outcomes. Methods This retrospective cohort study used a target trial emulation framework to conduct a causal analysis of the all‐

On the Prediction of pDNA Productivity Across Diverse Bioprocesses Using Ensemble Hybrid Models

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global demand for plasmid DNA (pDNA) is rapidly increasing due to its key role in the manufacture of mRNA vaccines and advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs). However, the reliance on suboptimal batch and/or fed‐batch processes, as well as the diversity and increasing complexity of plasmid constructs pose significant challenges during
