Tracing the evolutionary history of the morpho‐anatomy of baculum in primates
Abstract Animal morphology reflects both evolutionary history and present‐day adaptation. Male mammal copulatory structures such as the baculum (penile bone) are ideal for studying these processes because of their complexity and high interspecific variability. In primates, however, research has focused mostly on baculum length.

Reversible data hiding in encrypted point clouds presents unique challenges due to their unstructured geometry, absence of mesh connectivity, and high sensitivity to spatial perturbations. In this paper, we propose an efficient and secure reversible data

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global threat driven by antimicrobial use in aquaculture and livestock. Resistant pathogens and genes can spread across humans, animals, and the environment through interconnected ecosystems. Using a One Health approach, this review emphasizes antimicrobial stewardship, regulatory strengthening, enhanced ...

Risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning for control of stochastic linear systems
Abstract This paper presents a risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning (RL) control design for stochastic discrete‐time linear systems. Rather than using a safety certifier to myopically intervene with the RL controller, a risk‐informed safe controller is also learned besides the RL controller, and the RL and safe controllers are combined together ...

Abstract Tunnel convergence in multiligament knee surgery remains a technical challenge. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) femoral sockets/tunnels and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) femoral sockets/tunnels during anatomic posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstructions are particularly vulnerable to convergence. This is secondary to the limited amount of

Abstract Scaphoid fractures are common and often progress to nonunion due to the unique vascularity. When nonunion occurs, patients are at risk of developing carpal collapse and arthritis if not managed appropriately with traditional surgical management.

Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a contested concept and has generally been conceptualised by inter‐related indicators such as staff qualifications, educational environment, policy or child‐to‐staff ratios. There has been a more limited emphasis on how young children might perceive and experience quality.

ABSTRACT Background Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) leads to chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of the pulmonary arteries in a minority of patients. Treatment of CTOs with balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) may substantially improve patient hemodynamics but presents unique technical challenges and has previously been associated with a ...
