Comparison of Transvaginal and Transperineal Ultrasonographic Uterocervical Angle Measurements in Low-Risk Pregnancies at 24–34 Weeks’ Gestation [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground: The uterocervical angle (UCA) is a promising ultrasound parameter for predicting preterm birth. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is the gold standard for cervical assessment; however, some patients may decline the procedure due to discomfort or

The predictive value of 24-hour urinary calcium for kidney stone risk in primary hyperparathyroidism: insight from a retrospective study of parathyroid adenoma cases [PDF]
Frontiers in EndocrinologyBackgroundPrimary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with an increased risk of kidney stones. However, the clinical utility of 24-hour urinary calcium (24h-UCa) as a predictor of nephrolithiasis, and its role in surgical decision-making, remains ...

Spectral sensitivity of four species of fiddler crabs (Uca pugnax,Uca pugilator,Uca vomerisandUca tangeri) measured byin situmicrospectrophotometry [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2007 SUMMARYFiddler crabs have compound eyes that are structurally fairly well understood. However, there has been much debate regarding their spectral sensitivity and capacity to enable colour discrimination. We examined the visual pigments of two North-American species (Uca pugnax and U. pugilator), one species from the Indo-West Pacific (U.

Territorial battles between fiddler crab species [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Many species worldwide are impacted by habitat loss. This may result in increased competition both within species and between species. Many studies have demonstrated that when two previously non-overlapping species are forced to compete over a resource ...

Interaction between path integration and visual orientation during the homing run of fiddler crabs [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Foraging fiddler crabs form a strict spatial relationship between their current positions and burrows, allowing them to run directly back to their burrows when startled even without visual contacts.

Ultimate channel capacity analysis of the UCA-OAM system with a deficient-rank channel matrix
Frontiers in Physics, 2023 The channel matrix of the commonly used uniform circular array-based orbital angular momentum (UCA-OAM) system reaches the full-rank state when the degree of freedom (DoF) is limited only by the number of UCA antenna elements.
