Can't outrun recurrence: Long‐term outcomes of treating American black bear sarcoptic mange

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing incidence of sarcoptic mange in American black bears (Ursus americanus) has become a concern for wildlife managers in the eastern United States. Inconsistency in the use of single and multi‐dose treatment approaches makes it difficult to evaluate their effects on post‐release outcomes of mange‐rehabilitated bears, which remain ...

The Weak Core, Partition‐Based Universal Stability, and Their Risk Associations Through A Partial Order

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are concerned with the stability of a transferable‐utility cooperative (TU) game. First, the concept of core can be weakened so that the blocking of changes is limited to only those with multilateral backings. This principle of consensual blocking, as well as the traditional core‐defining one of unilateral blocking and one straddling in ...

Diet and Oral Health of Scythian Populations in Ukraine (700–200 bce): Evidence for Grain Consumption and Food Processing

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examined whether Scythian‐era populations living in different ecological zones had distinctive oral health patterns during the Iron Age. Our interdisciplinary approach should clarify whether these populations had different diets or behavioral practices.

Effect of Nanosilica Aggregates/Agglomerates on Functional Properties of Poly(Butylene 2,5‐Furandicarboxylate)‐Based Nanocomposites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effect of nanosilica aggregates/agglomerates on oxygen and water vapor diffusivity of PBF/SiO2 nanocomposites. ABSTRACT The nanofillers inclusions in poly(butylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate) (PBF)/SiO2 nanocomposites were found to consist of aggregates and agglomerates of nanosilica particles.
