Utilization of the PK Papyrus Covered Stent for the Treatment of Direct Carotid Cavernous Fistulas: A Case Series.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Carotid cavernous fistulas (CCFs) pose significant challenges in management. Traditional treatment modalities including endovascular embolization, surgical ligation, and even stereotactic radiosurgery, are often limited by their inability to effectively...

Remarks on the conjectures of Capparelli, Meurman, Primc and Primc

Abstract In a series of two papers, S. Capparelli, A. Meurman, A. Primc, M. Primc (CMPP) and then M. Primc put forth three remarkable sets of conjectures, stating that the generating functions of coloured integer partitions in which the parts satisfy restrictions on the multiplic...

A Pilot Study Exploring the Effects of Circadian Phase on Influenza Vaccination Antibody Responses

Objective: Conventional investigations into vaccination scheduling have relied on fixed clock time, which fails to account for individual circadian phase. This study investigated the feasibility of exploring the hypothesis that an individual’s circadian phase at the time of vacci...

Effects of Kinect-based mixed-reality exercise and deep-sea water consumption on metabolic syndrome: a randomized controlled trial

[Purpose] The increasing prevalence of metabolic syndrome poses significant health risks, particularly for cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Exercise interventions have shown promise in improving the components of metabolic syndrome, including blood pressure, lipid pro...

Positive scalar curvature with point singularities

We show that in every dimension n≥8, there exists a smooth closed manifold Mn that does not admit a smooth positive scalar curvature (psc) metric, but M admits an L∞-metric that is smooth and has psc outside a singular set of codimension ≥8. This provides counterexamples to a con...

DentalGEN: a large-scale controllable generative AI framework for automated dental crown restoration

Dental crown restoration addresses a global public health burden, yet is constrained by a slow, variable, and labor-intensive manual design process that limits access to high-quality treatment. Here we introduce DentalGEN, a large-scale controllable generative artificial intellig...

94. A Deep Learning Framework to Measure Eyelid Pigmentation Using Two-dimensional Eye Images of Hereford Crossbred Cattle: From Pixels to Patterns.

Abstract Cancer eye and other ocular problems cause significant economic losses to the cattle industry and are preventable through increased eyelid pigmentation (EP). Previously, EP has been measured by visual assessments, which are subjective, labor-intensive, error-prone, and t...

333. Associations Between Rumination Behavior, Liquid Passage Kinetics, and Dry Matter Intake in Finishing Beef Steers.

Abstract Rumination behavior is commonly used as an indicator of rumen function and saliva production in cattle, but its relationship with liquid passage kinetics is not well defined. Understanding relationships between rumination behavior and liquid passage characteristics may p...

70. Understanding the Emissions of Feedlot Beef Cattle with Divergent Residual Methane Emissions.

Abstract Residual methane emission (RME) has been proposed as a novel metric to identify cattle that emit less methane independently of their feed intake and body weight. This study investigated how divergence in RME classification influences feed intake, growth rate, feed effici...

Integrating Insight and Uncertainty: Bayesian modeling for data-rich livestock systems

Abstract Bayesian statistical modeling provides a principled framework for integrating biological knowledge, process understanding, and observed data in animal science research. By treating all unobserved quantities as random variables and explicitly defining probability distribu...

PS2-6. Increasing Supply of omega-6 Fatty Acids to Beef Cows During the Early Embryonic Period: Effects on D 22 Pregnancies.

Abstract This experiment compared hormonal, uterine, and conceptus factors associated with pregnancy establishment in beef cows supplemented with different levels of Ca salts of soybean oil (CSSO) for 22 d beginning after artificial insemination (AI). Sixty-six multiparous, non-l...

PS1-11. Resolution Outcomes and Predictive Capacity of Pregnancy-Associated Glycoprotein (PAG) Concentrations in Lactating Dairy Cows with an Initial.

Abstract Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAG) are widely used for pregnancy diagnosis in cattle, but cows classified as “recheck” present a challenge. This study aimed to characterize the outcomes of recheck diagnoses and evaluate the predictive value of initial concentration...

Effect of relative humidity on the desiccation behavior of bentonite buffer blocks for geological repositories

This study evaluated the hygrothermal desiccation behavior of compacted sodium bentonite buffer blocks, which are critical components of Engineered Barrier Systems (EBS) for high-level radioactive waste repositories. To address the risks associated with moisture loss during stora...

PS12-18. Divergent Prolactin Receptor Genotype Responses in Growth Performance, Feed Efficiency and Feeding Behavior in Beef Calves.

Abstract This study evaluated the effects of divergent prolactin receptor (PRLR) genotypes on feed intake, feeding behavior, feed efficiency, and growth performance in beef calves, with the objective of elucidating the physiological and behavioral mechanisms underlying genotype-a...

Improving grain yield prediction in Southern US oat germplasm using genomics information and environmental covariates

Genetic gains of oat (Avena sativa L.) grain yield have been historically low compared to other major cereal crops. The use of machine learning models to capture complex interactions and leveraging data types other than genomic information in prediction models has great potential...

The Archaeology of the Transatlantic Trade in Peki, Ghana: Local Responses to Global Encounters in Atlantic West Africa

Abstract Archaeological studies of the transatlantic slave trade in West Africa have traditionally focused on coastal and discrete sites of slavery, leaving interior communities comparatively underexplored. This paper advances methodological frameworks for the archaeology of tran...

The Role of Carbon Fibers in FFF 3D Printed Composites: A Comprehensive Review on the Effect on Mechanical Properties, Fracture Toughness, and Tribological Performance

Polymeric composites reinforced with short or continuous carbon fibers offer exceptional mechanical and tribological properties that outperform their unfilled counterparts. The combination of these excellent properties with the possibility to manufacture custom-made composites wi...

The shifting landscape of assessment in STEM education in the age of generative AI

Abstract This article focuses on the impact of generative AI (GenAI) on assessment in STEM education. Guided by the assessment triangle as a conceptual framework, we take an ecosystems perspective to review the extant STEM education literature and identify how GenAI affects what...

Aerobic exercise induces selective changes in skeletal muscle protein quality control markers in rats with heart failure

The objective of this study was to determine whether aerobic exercise could aid in the preservation of the autophagy lysosomal system and mitigate oxidative stress in skeletal muscle during heart failure (HF) progression. Exercise tolerance was lower in HF groups compared to Cont...
