Domesticated animals are generally assumed to display increased sociability toward humans compared to their wild ancestors. Dogs (Canis familiaris) have a remarkable ability to form social relationships with humans, including lasting attachment, a bond based on emotional dependency. Since it has been specifically suggested that the ability to form attachment with humans evolved post-domestication
Introduction and Objectives: To compare pilot cohorts of men scheduled for radical prostatectomy imaged with novel antibody conjugates: Cohort 1 (111In-J591) single photon emission tomography (SPECT) or Cohort 2 (89Zr-J591) positron emission tomorgraphy (PET).Methods: 1) Cohort 1: Eight patients with abnormal digital rectal exam and biopsy proven prostate cancer were injected intravenously with tw
Background: Urosepsis is a life-threatening condition that needs to be addressed without delay. Two critical issues in its management are: (1) Appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy, considering the patients general condition, comorbidity, and the pathogen expected; and (2) Timing of imaging to identify obstruction requiring decompression. Objectives: To identify risk factors associated with 30-
The ability to decide and adjust actions according to motion prediction of dynamic obstacles offers a flexible planning scheme and ampler reaction time to avoid potential impact. Prediction-based collision avoidance implies a two-stage decision-making process from motion prediction to action planning. One of the challenges in motion prediction is the movements of objects are usually non-determinis
Noble metal-based catalysts have numerous industrial uses, and maximum utilization of the precious metals by lowering the metal loading is of significant interest in heterogeneous catalysis research. However, lowering the metal loading could lead to single-atom metal species formation, which may not be active for important reactions like propylene oxidation. We report a way to drastically reduce p
We consider a spectral problem associated with steady water waves of extreme form on the free surface of a rotational flow. It is proved that the spectrum of this problem contains arbitrary large negative eigenvalues and they are simple. Moreover, the asymptotics of such eigenvalues is obtained.
Introduction About 20% of the adult population have chronic pain, often associated with psychological distress, sick leave and poor health. There are large variations in the clinical picture. A biopsychosocial approach is used in investigation and treatment. The concept of personalised medicine, that is, optimising medication types and dosages for individual patients based on biomarkers and other
The rhizosphere priming effect (RPE) is increasingly being considered to be an important regulator of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition and nutrient turnover, with potential importance for the global CO2 budget. As a result, studies on the RPE have rapidly increased in number over the last few years. Most of these experiments have been performed using unplanted soil as the control, which cou
Although many therapeutically active peptides and proteins have been developed there is a lack of topical pharmaceutical products on the market containing these sensitive molecules. The main reasons may be lack of stability and a limitation of larger molecules to penetrate into the skin. In this study we investigated the possibility to develop a peptide formulation which enables follicular permeat
Aviation remains a problematic sector of the global economy in times of climate emergency. Grounded in the ideology of reconfiguration, we adopt a system transitions perspective to address high emissions leisure travel. Our focus falls on the marketing communications of airlines as a critical component in the prevailing sociotechnical regime. Thematic analysis of the e-mail marketing communication
Objective: Today, stress monitoring on wearable devices is challenged by the tension between high-detection accuracy and battery lifetime driven by multimodal data acquisition and processing. Limited research has addressed the classification cost on multimodal wearable sensors, particularly when the features are cost-dependent. Thus, we design a Cost-Aware Feature Selection (CAFS) methodology that
Ice-core timescales are vital for the understanding of past climate; hence they should be updated whenever significant amounts of new data become available. Here, the Greenland ice-core chronology GICC05 was revised for the last 3835 years by synchronizing six deep ice cores and three shallow ice cores from the central Greenland ice sheet. A new method was applied by combining automated counting o
