Infants who have been hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may present with a multitude of challenges that put them at risk for delayed development. Early Intervention and specialized NICU follow up clinics are in place to help identify NICU graduates’ need for therapy services. Well-established, standardized assessments, such as the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Developm...

Recurring patterns in photosynthetic taxa succession along disturbance gradients reflect intricate interplays between transient environmental components and taxa-specific functional traits, for instance, related to resource utilization (light nutrients) resilience mortality factors (grazing, viral infections, etc.; Sommer et al., 2012; Chang 2019; Caracciolo 2021). Over a spring-to-summer succe...

•Biologging 3D movement data revealed circling behaviors in marine animals•Circling were observed sharks, turtles, penguins, and mammals•Circlings might serve several purposes including foraging, navigation, etc. Advances biologging technology have enabled dead-reckoning reconstruction of animal movements at spatiotemporal scales meters seconds. Examining high-resolution sharks (Galeocerdo cuvi...

Increased body mass index (BMI) is an established cardiovascular risk factor. The impact of high BMI on vascular and bleeding complications in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) not clarified. RISPEVA, a multicenter prospective database TAVI stratified by was used for this analysis. Patients were classified as normal or (obese overweight) according to the World H...

Extensive literature is available on the development of an economic approach to value weather data and analysis of the cost-benefit characteristics of alternative meteorological data acquisition systems. However, to determine the economic value of a specific set of meteorological data is still a very complex task. Because the data is used in wide variety of weather forecasting processes, which ...

Successful Expression of Adenovirus E3 CR1 Genes from constructs carrying Adenovirus Tripartite Leader sequences: a technical breakthrough Camden Bair, Poornima Kotha, and Adriana Kajon Over 70 human adenovirus genotypes have been described to date and classified into seven species (HAdV-A to -G). One of the few characteristics distinguishing HAdV genomes of different species is the unique repe...

This article examines the contentious relationship between the first few generations of librarians and series fiction for girls. Librarians and library boards had mixed responses to twentieth-century series books; they favored earlier postbellum series that taught girls traditional religious behavior and caretaking, by authors such as Louisa May Alcott and Martha Finley. While such series could...
