Transoral Minimal Access Mandibular Reconstruction Using Fibula Free Flap in Osteoradionecrosis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We conducted a retrospective review of 9 patients with mandibular ORN at our institution who underwent a limited transoral approach for segmental mandibulectomy reconstruction with fibula free flap and minimal access vessel isolation and anastomoses.

Effect of a Trench Combined With Exclosure on Recovery of Herbaceous Biomass in Degraded Mountain Areas in Hawasa Watershed, Southern Ethiopia

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the restoration of herbaceous biomass in degraded mountain lands by comparing the impact of trenches established alongside exclosures (EX‐SWC) to exclosures alone (EX). To achieve the objective, herbaceous biomass was collected from areas restored using EX‐SWC and EX over three consecutive years ...

A lightweight clear liquid optical chamber baited remote underwater video system for monitoring fish in turbid coastal wetlands

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Clear liquid optical chamber baited remote underwater video systems (CLOC‐BRUV) are an effective option for assessing fish assemblages in turbid water, but current designs are limited by their large size and high operational costs. We developed a lightweight CLOC‐BRUV unit and evaluated its performance through proof‐of‐concept trials and field

Timing Is Everything: How Subtle Timing Changes in MRI Echo Planar Imaging Can Significantly Alter Mechanical Vibrations and Sound Level

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Echo‐Planar Imaging (EPI) is central to fMRI, diffusion MRI, and many dynamic clinical applications, yet rapid gradient switching induces strong mechanical vibrations, generates acoustic noise, and contributes to ghosting artifacts—effects that intensify at ultra‐high fields.

Complementary Sensitivity of Fixed‐Time and Fixed‐Oscillation Regimes to Exchange and Structural Disorder in the Human Brain Revealed Using Oscillating‐Gradient Diffusion MRI With Ultra‐Strong Gradients

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Oscillating‐gradient spin‐echo (OGSE) diffusion MRI probes cell geometry and membrane integrity through the frequency‐dependence of kurtosis, but prior studies have reported inconsistent findings depending on how frequency is varied. We compared frequency‐dependent kurtosis in the human brain under two regimes: varying frequency with ...

Validating Numerical Simulations to Support Experimental Testing of MRI Gradient‐Induced Heating of Passive Implants

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Numerical simulations can be adopted to aid the evaluation of the interaction between switched gradient fields and metallic implants and estimate the possible temperature increase. Anyway, an analysis of the consistency of their prediction with experiments is lacking, differently from what can be found for exposure to radiofrequency ...

Reconsidering Volume‐Based Drug Procurement Policy: The Consequences of Manufacturers' Optimal Production Planning and Breach Strategies

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impacts of Volume‐Based Procurement (VBP) policies on pharmaceutical supply chains, with a focus on the strategic behaviors of manufacturers. VBP aims to reduce costs and stabilize supplies by centralizing procurement through competition based on volumes and prices.

Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...
