Recommendations for Low-Noise Data Acquisition with UAV-Mounted Multi-Channel Magnetometer Systems

We present the results of tests conducted with a state-of-the-art drone-based multi-channel magnetometer system (SENSYS MagDrone R4) developed for efficient high-resolution near-surface surveys. The primary aim is to advance the application of this technology in proximal sensing...

Unravelling the genetic structure and genetic relationships of indigenous Greek sheep breeds using SNP markers

Abstract Background Indigenous sheep of Greece represent important genetic resources shaped by long-term adaptation to diverse environments. However, many populations face demographic decline, genetic erosion, and their genomic diversity remains inadequately characterized. This s...

Polymer Substrates for Flexible Sensors: Advances and Contributions to Smart Agriculture

ABSTRACT The advancement of smart agriculture is becoming increasingly dependent on sensor technologies that enable the digitization and optimization of agricultural processes. Traditional sensors, however, are constrained by their inherent rigidity, poor conformability to irregu...

Reduced patella medialization in valgus and varus knees using a KA‐optimized femoral component in kinematically aligned TKA

Abstract Purpose Patellofemoral complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are linked to femoral component design and trochlear alignment. This study compared the effects of a kinematically aligned (KA)‐optimized femoral component versus a standard design on patellofemoral...

Primary splenic Alveolar Echinococcosis: a case report from Germany

PURPOSE: We are reporting on a rare case of a primary manifestation of Alveolar Echinococcosis in the spleen in a German patient. METHODS: The patient was initially presented to her gastroenterologist and subsequently referred to a district hospital for surgical management. The f...

Prognostic Stratification of Brain Metastases from Nonanaplastic Follicular Cell–Derived Thyroid Carcinoma: Results of an International Multicenter Retrospective Study

Background: Brain metastases (BMs) from nonanaplastic follicular cell–derived thyroid carcinoma (hereinafter referred to as non-ATC) are rare and not well characterized, with limited evidence guiding treatment and prognostic stratification. We aimed to describe clinical features,...

Doing and undoing categories in migration

This article examines the relationship between migrants and migration categories in the Global South. As an agenda-setting contribution, we argue that while classification is fundamental to social organization, categories are inherently unstable, permeable, and contingent on soci...

Hidden diversity in Early Palaeozoic parasites: new indication from Orsten-type Ordovician pentastomidans (tongue-worms)

Abstract Orsten-type Lagerstätten sensu stricto are represented by several localities around the world, delivering a unique window into the meiofauna of the Early Palaeozoic. They are providing beautifully three-dimensionally preserved, phosphatized organisms, mostly articulated...

Increasing usable reads in RNA-seq protocols

Bulk and single-cell RNA-seq are powerful tools for transcriptomic analysis, providing insights into molecular and cellular phenotypes. Costs constrain the biological insights obtainable within a given budget, and as sequencing prices decline, efficient library protocols have bec...
