A photogrammetry phenomic approach to quantifying canopy architecture traits in spring wheat

Canopy architecture refers to the arrangement of plant organs, leaves and shoots within a canopy and is an important plant trait which contributes to yield. High-throughput phenotyping has gained attention because of its high efficiency, quantitative and non-destructive method of...

Presenting Issues in Relational, Couple, Marriage, and Family Therapies Among Transgender and Non-Binary Adults in Canada

Transgender and non-binary (TNB) adults frequently experience mental health, relational, and systemic challenges; however, little is known about how these concerns become presenting issues within relational, couple, marriage, and family therapy (RCMFT) contexts. This interpretati...

Mixed motives and linear forms in the Catalan constant

Abstract We first give a geometric construction of a two‐dimensional mixed motive over with the Catalan constant as a period. We then use this motive to obtain a supply of linear forms in 1 and . We also explicitly compute the coefficients of 1 and in these linear forms.

Clinical Improvement, No Improvement, and Worsening at 24 Hours Following Reperfusion in Patients With Stroke due to Large-Vessel Occlusion

BACKGROUND: Restoring blood flow to ischemic tissue is the cornerstone of acute stroke therapy and is usually beneficial. However, when reperfusion is achieved for severely injured tissue, it is often futile and may occasionally cause harm. We aim to determine the prevalence and...

Schopenhauer, Compassion, and the Radical Political Subject

Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy has been systematically excluded from the canon of radical political thought, dismissed as quietist resignation incompatible with emancipatory projects. This article challenges that exclusion by developing the concept of the pluriversal subject, a...

Assessment of mechanical damage in canola using X-ray radiography and deep learning

Mechanical damage during post-harvest handling and processing can drastically impair the quality, germination potential, and market value of canola ( Brassica napus L.) seeds. Traditional visual inspection methods are subjective and limited to detecting external defects, often mi...

Relational Accountability as a Conflict Resolution Framework for Rebuilding Trust in Indigenous Research Partnerships

Conflict is an inevitable part of research, even when research emphasizes collaboration, reciprocity, participatory, and a community-based approach. For community-based Indigenous research, this is compounded with the enduring influence of colonial research paradigms and historic...

Ancient DNA preservation in the Caribbean

Abstract Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis has transformed how we study human migration, species dispersals and environmental change, but poor preservation remains a major challenge. This is especially true in tropical settings, where hot and humid conditions accelerate DNA decay. Beca...

Rhinosinusitis in Adults Receiving Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Inhibitors and Anti‐CD20 Therapy: A Scoping Review

ABSTRACT Introduction Immunomodulatory therapies, including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α) inhibitors and anti‐CD20 agents, are often used for autoimmune, inflammatory, and neoplastic disorders. While infection risk is well recognized, their association with rhinosinusitis r...

Reinforcement learning-based decision support for admission-time inpatient bed allocation

Hospital bed allocation affects patient waiting, bed turnover, discharge flow, and queue accumulation. First-come, first-served (FCFS) is transparent but does not account for congestion, queue composition, expected length of stay (LOS), or downstream turnover. This study develope...

The value of electronic tagging and tracking studies for understanding fish–hypoxia interactions

Abstract Objective Hypoxia (i.e., low dissolved oxygen availability) is a natural phenomenon but can also be induced by human activities (e.g., nutrient enrichment from runoff). Given that dissolved oxygen is essential for aquatic life, periods of hypoxia tend to have negative co...

Clinical Joint Tenderness in First-Nations First-Degree Relatives of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients: Examining Factors Associated with Functional Disability and Progression to RA

Objectives Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease affecting synovial joints. Prior to the clinical onset of arthritis, autoantibodies and non-specific joint symptoms often appear in the absence of joint swelling. We previously found that functional disability...
