Animals possess different abilities to gain and use information about the foraging patches they exploit. When ignorant of the qualities of encountered patches, a smart forager Should leave all patches after the same amount of fixed search time. A smarter forager can be Bayesian by using information Oil Cumulative harvest and time spent searching a patch to better inform its patch-departure decisio

Benefits of calcitonin-gene related peptide (CGRP) inhibition have not been established in chronic migraine. Here we assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of two doses of TEV-48125, a monoclonal anti-CGRP antibody, in the preventive treatment of chronic migraine.

Picosecond transient absorption signals of two kinds of cadmium selenide quantum dots were measured at various excitation intensities. The average number of excitons per quantum dot was calculated from a Poisson model, which together with kinetic parameters was used to determine exciton population kinetics. Exciton and multiexciton absorption cross sections were determined and analyzed in terms of

Stem cell-based approaches to restore function after stroke through replacement of dead neurons require the generation of specific neuronal subtypes. Loss of neurons in the cerebral cortex is a major cause of stroke-induced neurological deficits in adult humans. Reprogramming of adult human somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells is a novel approach to produce patient-specific cells for au

We report on the high statistics two-pion correlation functions from pp collisions at root s = 0.9 TeV and root s = 7 TeV, measured by the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The correlation functions as well as the extracted source radii scale with event multiplicity and pair momentum. When analyzed in the same multiplicity and pair transverse momentum range, the correlation is similar

Gold-mineralized quartz veins at the Trenggalek district of the Southern Mountains Range in East Java, Indonesia, are hosted by Oligo-Miocene volcaniclastic and volcanic rocks, and are distributed close to andesitic plugs in the northern prospects (Dalangturu, Suruh, Jati, Gregah, Jombok, Salak, and Kojan) and the southern prospects (Sentul and Buluroto). The plugs are subalkaline tholeiitic basal

The authors compared dietary pattern methods-cluster analysis, factor analysis, and index analysis-with colorectal cancer risk in the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-AARP Diet and Health Study (n = 492,306). Data from a 124-item food frequency questionnaire (1995-1996) were used to identify 4 clusters for men (3 clusters for women), 3 factors, and 4 indexes. Comparisons were made with adjusted

Aim. A mainstay of lymphedema management involves the use of compression therapy. Compression therapy application is variable at different levels of disease severity Evidence is scant to direct clinicians in best practice regarding compression therapy use. Further, compression clinical trials are fragmented and poorly extrapolable to the greater population. An ideal construct for conducting clinic

Energy service companies (ESCOs) are often portrayed as important change agents in capturing the opportunity to curb energy demand and mitigate climate change through increased efficiency. Yet, the literature in this area is limited. While many studies analyze economic and environmental savings from energy efficiency programs, far less attention has been devoted to evaluating managerial and other

Dosimetry in peptide receptor radionuclide therapy using (177)Lu-Dotatate is based on patient imaging during the first week after administration, and determination of the activity retention as a function of time for different tissues. For calculation of the absorbed dose it is generally assumed that the long-term activity retention follows the pattern determined from the first week. This work aims

The random fluctuations of spins give rise to many interesting physical phenomena, such as the 'order-from-disorder' arising in frustrated magnets and unconventional Cooper pairing in magnetic superconductors. Here we show that the exchange of spin waves between extended topological defects, such as domain walls, can result in novel magnetic states. We report the discovery of an unusual incommensu

Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper is concerned with the structure of Swedish complex words with a past participle in the right-hand position and one of the elements latt/svar/snabb/trog/tung(easy/difficult/fast/slow/heavy) in the left-hand position. Although these words look very similar to compound participles, such as hembakad (homebaked), they have systematically different properties. Compound

In terrestrial organisms, sensitivity to the Earth's magnetic field is mediated by at least two different magnetoreception mechanisms, one involving biogenic ferromagnetic crystals (magnetite/maghemite) and the second involving a photo-induced biochemical reaction that forms long-lasting, spin-coordinated, radical pair intermediates. In some vertebrate groups (amphibians and birds), both mechanism

Nanofibrillar forms of proteins were initially recognized in the context of pathology, but more recently have been discovered in a range of functional roles in nature, including as active catalytic scaffolds and bacterial coatings. Here we show that protein nanofibrils can be used to form the basis of monodisperse microgels and gel shells composed of naturally occurring proteins. We explore the po

The structural, electrical and dielectrical properties of the methyl orange (MO) have been investigated by X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis methods. The electrical conduction and dielectrical relaxation mechanisms of the organic compound at various frequencies and temperatures were analyzed by impedance spectroscopy. The direct current (DC) electrical conductivity confirmed that methyl orang

Good health is crucial for human and economic development. In particular poor health in childhood seems to be of utmost concern since it causes irreversible damage and has implications later in life. Recent research suggests globalization is a strong force affecting adult and child health outcomes. Yet, there is much unexplained variation with respect to the globalization effect on child health, i

By incorporating magnetism into semiconductors, it may possibly be viable to enhance the functionality of materials. An exceptionally important material in this context is GaAs, which can be doped with Mn atoms. (GaMn)As has fascinated research community as a promising candidate for spintronic application. It is quite appealing due to both its compatibility with existing III-V technology and great
