Wilson's Snipe Wintering near Boston, Mass

Copper storage diseases: Menkes, Wilsons, and cancer.

The trace element copper is vital to the healthy functioning of organisms. Copper is used in a multitude of cellular activities including respiration, angiogenesis, and immune responses. Like other metals, copper homeostasis is a tightly regulated process. Copper is transported from dietary intake through the serum and into cells via a variety of transporters. There are a variety of copper chap...

Anesthetic Management of a Pediatric Patient With Wilsons Disease

UNLABELLED Wilsons disease, characterized by cirrhosis, extrapyramidal symptoms and Kayser-Fleischer corneal rings, is a rare hereditary disease of human copper metabolism. Clinical findings in Wilsons disease are complex and neurological symptoms such as tremor, dysarthria, rigid dystonia, seizures, psychiatric disorders, acute liver failure, chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis may develop.

Disentangling Migratory Routes and Wintering Grounds of Iberian Near-Threatened European Rollers Coracias garrulus

Long-distance migrants are suffering drastic declines in the last decades. Causes beneath this problem are complex due to the wide spatial and temporal scale involved. We aim to reveal migratory routes, stopover areas, wintering grounds, and migratory strategies for the most southwestern populations of the near-threatened European Roller Coracias garrulus in order to identify conservation key a...

SNIPE for Memory-Limited PCA From Incomplete Data

The linear subspace model is pervasive in science and engineering and particularly in large datasetswhich are often incomplete due to missing measurements and privacy issues. Therefore, a critical problemin modeling is to develop algorithms for estimating a low-dimensional subspace model from incompletedata efficiently in terms of both computational complexity and memory storage...
