Like many others, I see Crump et al. (2022) as a milestone for improving upon previous guidelines and extending their framework to decapod crustaceans. Their proposal would benefit from firm evolutionary foundation by adding the comparative measurement of life-history complexity ninth criterion attributing sentience nonhuman animals.

ANSYS-CFX is an effective and multipurpose software which can be used for simulation the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions at all levels of complexity. This software can be used for numerical solution of two and three dimensional flows, compressible and incompressible flows, viscous and non-viscous flows, laminar and turbulent flows, Newtonian and non-Newtonian flows, porous media, s...

Experimental studies to investigate the depth of the scour conducted at a side-weir intersection located at the 180 curved flume which located Hydraulic Laboratory of Yıldız Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey. Side weirs were located at the middle of the straight part of the main channel. Three different lengths (25, 40 and 50 cm) and three different weir crest height (7, 10 and 12 cm) of t...

This report updates the risk assessment by Crump and Allen for benzene-induced leukemia that was based on a cohort exposed to benzene in the manufacture of Pliofilm. The present study derives new risk estimates using data from follow-up through 1987 (whereas the earlier assessment only had follow-up available through 1978) and uses new exposure information for this cohort developed by Paustenba...

Gabion duvarlar genellikle, eğimli arazilerde hafif dayanma yapısı alternatifi olarak kullanılmaktadır. Göreceli ucuz maliyeti, esnek yapısı, ana malzemesinin kolay şekilde nakledilebilmesi ve nedeniyle birçok avantaj taşımaktadır. Boyutları, gelen yanal yüklere göre ayarlanabilmekte ekstra maliyetler içermemektedir. İşçilik bakımından kısa sürede inşa edilebilmekte bünyesinde doğal bir malzeme...

BACKGROUND Trauma activation for prehospital hypotension in blunt trauma is controversial. Some patients subsequently arrive at the trauma center normotensive, but they can still have life-threatening injuries. Admission base deficit (BD)≤-6 correlates with injury severity, transfusion requirement, and mortality. Can admission BD be used to discriminate those severely injured patients who arriv...

In dry climate zones, headwater streams are often regulated for water extraction causing intermittency in perennial streams and prolonged drying in intermittent streams. Regulation thereby reduces aquatic habitat downstream of weirs that also form barriers to migration by stream fauna. Environmental flow releases may restore streamflow in rivers, but are rarely applied to headwaters. We sampled...

The criteria proposed by Crump et al. are based on various cognitive roles associated with sentience. A subset of them may be sufficient for certain kinds welfare, but the presence all should considered as clearly substantial legal protection their relation to capacities that we consider essential moral standing in human beings.
