Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...

Public Procurement's Long COVID: Emergency Responses and Shifting Corruption Risks in Europe
Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic caused an unprecedented surge in spending to combat the pandemic with widespread accusations of corruption. The magnitude, drivers, and trajectory of corruption across the pandemic response remain underexplored. This paper approximates the impacts of the pandemic on public procurement corruption risks and the mechanisms ...

Techniques for subretinal injections in animals
Veterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 506-518, March 2025.Abstract Subretinal injections are not commonly performed during clinical treatment of animals but are frequently used in laboratory animal models to assess therapeutic efficacy and safety of gene and cell therapy products. Veterinary ophthalmologists are often employed to perform the injections in the laboratory animal setting, due to knowledge of ...

Study on the bottom-blowing erosion in converter by using numerical model
, 2018 The bottom-blowing process of the converter accelerates the erosion of refractory material near the tuyere and the tuyere tip. If the damage mechanism is understood and controlled, the life of the converter\ue2s refractory material can be extended.
