Dataset for "Cerebellar Adverse Effects Following Tremor Surgery: A Systematic Review"

This dataset contains the data extracted and analyzed for the systematic review “Cerebellar Adverse Effects Following Tremor Surgery: A Systematic Review.” The review evaluates cerebellar adverse effects following surgical treatment of tremor, including deep brain stimulation (DB...

Development of an open-access food atlas with nutrient composition and recipes in Argentina: The Smart24Food Atlas

Introduction Accurate dietary intake assessment remains challenging, particularly for portion-size estimation, and context-specific photographic aids remain limited in Argentina. This study aimed to develop an open-access digital atlas of foods and recipes consumed in Argentina,...

High species turnover and guild shifts in spider communities between two contrasting dryland ecoregions of Catamarca, Argentina

Spider (Araneae) assemblages are sensitive indicators of environmental filtering, yet remain poorly studied in drylands worldwide, particularly in north-western Argentina. We compared alpha and beta diversity of spider communities between two contrasting ecoregions of Catamarca P...

Process mapping of a collaborative quality improvement study to optimise the use of antibiotics in intensive care units in Argentina: a Pathfinder study

Objective To systematically document the operational components, barriers, facilitators, and solutions of a quality improvement collaborative for antibiotic stewardship in intensive care units (ICUs) in the public sector of Argentina, using the Pathfinder methodological framework...

Adaptive Multirobot Virtual Structure Control using Dual Quaternions

This paper presents a dual-quaternion-based control strategy for the coordinated formation flying of small UAV teams. A virtual structure is used to define the formation, enabling a unified and global representation of its pose and of the geometric variables that shape the format...

Benchmarking control strategies for wave energy converters: From idealised knowledge to realistic operation

Maximising energy extraction in wave energy converters remains challenging due to the non-causal nature of the optimal control, complex interactions and real-time constraints. This paper presents a benchmarking of four strategies: LiTe-Con, LiTe-Con+, model predictive control (MP...

Tachinid Parasitoids of the Adult Stage of Phytophagous Stink Bugs: A Vacant Niche in Piezodorus guildinii (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

ABSTRACT Piezodorus guildinii and Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are harmful stink bug pest species. Among their natural enemies, parasitoids of two guilds attack them: oophagous and those that parasitise the adult stage. The combined impact of parasitoids of both guil...

Satellite telemetry suggests significant regional variation in post-fledging survival of Adélie penguins

Abstract Post-fledging periods represent one of the most vulnerable stages for juvenile seabirds. Adélie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae must quickly develop foraging skills while minimizing predation risk immediately after fledging. In the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) region, where popu...

Head-to-Tail Cyclization and D-Amino Acid Substitution Redesign the Biological Activities of a Naturally Occurring Amphibian Peptide

Peptide engineering has emerged as a powerful strategy to optimize naturally occurring peptides. Here, the amphibian skin peptide Hp-1891 from Boana pulchella was selected as a model scaffold to investigate the effects of two complementary engineering approaches, namely site-spec...

Development of A Reduced‐Fat Mayonnaise Using Double Emulsions ( W 1 /O/W 2 ) With the Addition of Natural Rosemary Antioxidants Obtained by Green Chemistry Extraction

ABSTRACT W 1 /O/W 2 double emulsions are promising systems for formulating reduced‐fat foods, as part of the fat is replaced by water (W 1 ) while maintaining texture and rheological properties. However, their high susceptibility to lipid oxidation requires the addition of antiox...

The social policy of a shortsighted state: digitalization and informality in Argentina during the pandemic

Governments worldwide are increasingly adopting digital technologies to address social problems. This emerging ‘dataist state’ relies on administrative and statistical data grounded in law enforcement and compliance. Yet in societies characterized by high levels of informality, t...

BetaII-spectrin gaps and patches emerge from the patterned assembly of the actin/spectrin membrane skeleton in human motor neuron axons

The actin/spectrin membrane-associated periodic skeleton (MPS) is a cytoskeletal structure that supports axonal integrity and function. Lower spinal motor neurons (MNs) are characterized by exceptionally long axons and are particularly susceptible to degeneration in a wide range...

Impulse Control Disorders Are Independent of Parkinson Disease Motor Subtypes

Objective: Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are clinically important nonmotor features of Parkinson's disease (PD). Tremor-dominant PD (TD-PD) has been associated with greater cerebello-thalamo-cortical involvement, whereas postural instability/gait difficulty-dominant PD (PIGD-P...

Genome skimming reveals a multipartite mitochondrial genome in the parasitic nematode Dioctophyme renale

Abstract Background Dioctophyme renale , known as the “giant kidney worm,” is a parasitic nematode of significant medical and biological importance due to its large size and complex interactions with various mammals, including humans, causing dioctophymiasis. Despite its importan...

Development of the nasal capsule in Emydura subglobosa (Testudines: Pleurodira) with a comparison to other turtles

Abstract Extant turtles occupy freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their nasal region provides important evidence for the evolution of respiration‐ and sensory‐related cranial morphology. However, developmental data on the turtle nasal capsule remain limited, partic...

The General Intellectual Humility Scale in Argentina: Adaptation and Validation

This study presents the adaptation and validation of the General Intellectual Humility Scale (GIHS) for Argentina, addressing the scarcity of Spanish-language instruments measuring this epistemic virtue. A sample of 201 Argentinian adults ( M = 58.9, SD = 16.6; 70.6% female) comp...

Order–disorder interfaces in viral pRb inactivation: molecular dynamics insights into SLiM-mediated recognition and implications for interaction databases

Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) mediate protein interactions through poorly understood mechanisms. We studied the retinoblastoma protein (pRb) and its interaction with the SV40 Large T antigen (LTSV40), a viral oncoprotein that displaces E2F factors. Using molecular dynam...

Improved recipes for peculiar velocity power spectra using Evolution Mapping

Abstract We present new fitting functions for the velocity divergence auto- and cross-power spectra, Pθθ(k) and Pδθ(k), calibrated on gravity-only N-body simulations. By applying the Evolution Mapping framework, we revise existing prescriptions to introduce a physically motivated...
