Community-based mass treatment with azithromycin for the elimination of yaws in Ghana-Results of a pilot study.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
IntroductionThe WHO yaws eradication strategy consists of one round of total community treatment (TCT) of single-dose azithromycin with coverage of > 90%.The efficacy of the strategy to reduce the levels on infection has been demonstrated previously in ...

Dual‐View Representation Learning for Deployable Humanoid Whole‐Body Control

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Humanoid robots must learn control from limited onboard sensing, although simulation provides richer training‐only states. DVP learning pairs these views of each simulated motion and aligns their latent control features inside the policy‐learning loop. This direct, deployment‐aware supervision accelerates learning while the deployed policy relies only ...

3D Closed‐Loop Navigation of Magnetic Microswimmers Using Vision‐Derived Depth Feedback

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A planar magnetic microswimmer is navigated in three dimensions under a standard microscope. Image defocus supplies a real‐time depth cue, and model‐predictive control with A* planning steers the body on surfaces and in free swimming. Axial position is regulated by propulsion alone, without magnetic field gradients or extra cameras.

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...

Previously undocumented regional variability in crab‐eating macaque skull sexual dimorphism and its implications for biological and morphometric studies

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In a large sample of adult crab‐eating macaques, we quantified sexual dimorphism in size, shape, and covariance across the whole skull and among anatomical regions of the cranium and mandible. All regions showed significant mean sex differences, but the magnitude of size and shape dimorphism varied substantially.
