Hibernation, an adaptive mechanism to extreme environmental conditions, is prevalent among mammals.Its main characteristics include reduced body temperature and metabolic rate.However, the mechanisms by which hibernating animals re-enter deep sleep during the euthermic phase to sustain hibernation remain poorly understood.We selected the Tamias sib
Optical vortices (OVs), as eigenmodes of optical orbital angular momentum, have been widely used in particle micro-manipulation.Recently, perfect optical vortices (POVs), a subclass of OVs, are gaining increasing interest life extension blueberry extract and becoming an indispensable tool in optical trapping due to their unique property of topologi
Extracting binary strings from real-valued biometric templates is a fundamental step in many biometric template protection systems, such as fuzzy commitment, fuzzy extractor, secure sketch, and helper data systems.Previous work has been focusing on the design of optimal quantization and coding for each single feature component, yet the binary strin
The fauna of Ceriantharia (tube-anemones) in the South Pacific is poorly studied with only four shallow-water species formally described and these animals are known from few regions in very specific reports.Cerianthids are organisms that live in a tube constructed with a special type of cnidae and are currently grouped in an exclusive subclass of A
Summary: Early phase dose-finding (EPDF) trials are key in the development of novel therapies, with their findings directly informing subsequent clinical development phases and providing valuable insights for reverse translation.Comprehensive and transparent reporting of these studies is critical for their accurate and critical interpretation, whic
