The ladybird beetle Harmonia axyridis Pallas was investigated under laboratory conditions to clarify the relationship between food abundance or scarcity and ovarian development or oosorption.Four conditions were used: (1) fully fed for 24 h, (2) 24-h starvation, (3) 48-h starvation, and (4) 24-h starvation followed by 24-h re-feeding.Body length an
[Objectives] The Connecticut shock environment of a warship in an underwater explosion is the basic input for the design and shock resistance ability evaluation of ship equipment.[Methods] In this paper, a numerical simulation is used to analyze the shock environment in different regions of a ship, and the Second-order Doubly Asymptotic Approximati
BackgroundEarly markers to predict delayed kidney graft function (DGF) may support clinical management.We studied the ability of four biomarkers (neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), cystatin C, and YKL-40) to predict DGF after deceased donor transplantation, and their association with e
Spike sorting, an indispensable process in the analysis of neural biosignals, aims to segregate individual action potentials from mixed recordings.This study delves into a comprehensive investigation of diverse unsupervised classification algorithms, some of which, to the best of our knowledge, have not previously been used for spike sorting.The me
