Warming causes higher bilateral asymmetry in aquatic hemipterans from geothermal streams
Abstract Increase in temperature associated with climate change may alter community structure and disrupt developmental stability in ectothermic organisms. Using a natural geothermal gradient (20.6–40.3 °C) in Neotropical streams in central-western Brazil, we investigated how war...

Fock-state Filtering of Squeezed States: Enhanced Nonclassicality and Effects of a Thermal Bath
Abstract The ability to tailor photon-number statistics is central to the generation and control of nonclassical states of light. Here, we investigate how Fock-state filtering of squeezed coherent states can be used to engineer their photon statistics. We consider the selective r...

The exterior derivative and the mean value equality in $$\mathbb {R}^n$$
Abstract This survey revisits classical results in vector calculus and analysis by exploring a generalised perspective on the exterior derivative, interpreting it as a measure of “infinitesimal flux”. This viewpoint leads to a higher-dimensional analogue of the Mean Value Theorem...

Therapeutic potential of haptoglobin in a murine model of sickle cell anemia
Chronic hemolytic anemia found in patients with sickle cell disease promotes an excess of free extracellular and intravascular hemoglobin, triggering a series of deleterious effects such as endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and alterations in vascular tone, which lead to...

The Characteristic Group of Lie LCP Manifolds
Abstract The (reduced) characteristic group of a locally conformally product manifold is obtained by restricting the action of its fundamental group to the non-flat factor of the universal cover, and taking the connected component of the identity in the closure of this restrictio...

6‐Nitrodopamine as a Novel Mediator of Prostatic Smooth Muscle Function in Mouse and Human
ABSTRACT Background Epithelium‐derived catecholamines contribute to local regulation of genitourinary smooth muscle function, but the role of the endogenous 6‐nitrodopamine (6‐ND) in the prostate remains unknown. Objectives To determine whether 6‐ND is produced by mouse and human...

Experimental assessment of column rectangularity in flat‐slab slab–column connections
Abstract This paper presents an experimental investigation of the punching shear behavior of seven 3.00 m × 3.00 m × 0.20 m flat slabs without shear reinforcement, supported by internal rectangular columns. The column side lengths were varied to obtain aspect ratios, c max / c mi...
