Does daily activity overlap of seven mesocarnivores vary based on human development?

Many species of wildlife alter their daily activity patterns in response to co-occurring species as well as the surrounding environment. Often smaller or subordinate species alter their activity patterns to avoid being active at the same time as larger, dominant species to avoid agonistic interactions. Human development can complicate interspecies interactions, as not all wildlife respond to human activity in the same manner.

Detection of acute promyelocytic leukemia in peripheral blood and bone marrow with annotation-free deep learning.

While optical microscopy inspection of blood films and bone marrow aspirates by a hematologist is a crucial step in establishing diagnosis of acute leukemia, especially in low-resource settings where other diagnostic modalities are not available, the task remains time-consuming and prone to human inconsistencies. This has an impact especially in cases of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) that require urgent treatment. Integration of automated computational hematopathology into clinical workflows can improve the throughput of these services and reduce cognitive human error.

The need for measurement science in digital pathology.

Background: Pathology services experienced a surge in demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. Digitalisation of pathology workflows can help to increase throughput, yet many existing digitalisation solutions use non-standardised workflows captured in proprietary data formats and processed by black-box software, yielding data of varying quality. This study presents the views of a UK-led expert group on the barriers to adoption and the required input of measurement science to improve current practices in digital pathology.

Evaluation and Intercomparison of Five North American Dry Deposition Algorithms at a Mixed Forest Site.

To quantify differences between dry deposition algorithms commonly used in North America, five models were selected to calculate dry deposition velocity ( ) for O and SO over a temperate mixed forest in southern Ontario, Canada, where a 5-year flux database had previously been developed. The models performed better in summer than in winter with correlation coefficients for hourly between models and measurements being approximately 0.6 and 0.

In-vivo high resolution AFM topographic imaging of Caenorhabditis elegans reveals previously unreported surface structures of cuticle mutants.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful method for topographic imaging of surfaces with nanometer resolution. AFM offers significant advantages over scanning electron microscopy (SEM) including the acquisition of quantitative 3D-images and biomechanical information. More importantly, for in-vivo biological imaging, AFM does not require sample dehydration/labeling.

Measurement of the repeatability of the prompt flashlamp-induced wavefront aberration on beamlines at the National Ignition Facility.

We have undertaken a measurement campaign to determine the repeatability of the prompt flashlamp-induced wavefront aberration on beamlines at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) and determine the extent to which shot-to-shot variations in this aberration may degrade the performance of a proposed adaptive optics system for the short-pulse Advanced Radiographic Capability beamline on NIF. In this paper we will describe the unique NIF configuration that was required to make this measurement, present the results of the experiment, and discuss the implications of these results for the adaptive optics system design.

Modelling disease spread and control in networks: implications for plant sciences.

Networks are ubiquitous in natural, technological and social systems. They are of increasing relevance for improved understanding and control of infectious diseases of plants, animals and humans, given the interconnectedness of today's world. Recent modelling work on disease development in complex networks shows: the relative rapidity of pathogen spread in scale-free compared with random networks, unless there is high local clustering; the theoretical absence of an epidemic threshold in scale-free networks of infinite size, which implies that diseases with low infection rates can spread in them, but the emergence of a threshold when realistic features are added to networks (e.

Healthcare-associated infection in pediatric patients on extracorporeal life support: The role of multidisciplinary surveillance.

Objective: To describe the use of a multidisciplinary approach to sepsis surveillance and evaluate impact on outcome.

Design: Prospective clinical study or clinical audit cycle.

Setting: Tertiary pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) center.

Refinements in acute dietary exposure assessments for chlorpyrifos.

Food pesticide residue data are used by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to determine potential dietary risk from chronic and acute exposures.

A teenager who firebombed his parents while in a dissociated state.

The paper describes a fifteen-year-old boy who firebombed his adoptive parents in their bed. The boy claimed to have no memory of the incident which occurred during the latter part of the night's sleep. Evidence is given for the diagnosis of Dissociative Disorder, and there is discussion of Sleep Walking Disorder and REM Behaviour Disorder in the differential diagnosis.
