Background.To date, numerous studies of the impact of snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Gray, 1843) on invaded ecosystems have been conducted.However, the majority of such studies intended to assess changes induced in macroinvertebrate assemblages, while the possible effects of P.antipodarum on higher trophic levels have not hitherto been studied.Of
Abstract Background A platform trial approach allows adding arms to on-going trials to speed up intervention discovery programs.A control arm remains open for recruitment in a platform trial while intervention arms may be added after the onset of the study and could be terminated early for efficacy and/or futility when early stopping is allowed.The
A wealth of Full Waveform (FW) LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data are available to the public from different sources, which is poised to boost extensive applications of FW LiDAR data.However, we lack a handy and open source tool that can be used by potential users for processing and analyzing FW LiDAR data.To this end, we introduce waveformli
The formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is a strategy utilized by neutrophils for capturing infective agents.Extracellular traps consist in a physical net made of DNA and intracellular proteins externalized from neutrophils, where bacteria and viruses are entrapped and killed by proteolysis.A complex Bath Chair series of events contr
Robot assembly tasks can fail due to unpredictable errors and can only continue with the manual intervention of a human operator.Recently, we proposed an exception strategy learning framework based on statistical learning and context determination, which can successfully resolve such situations.This paper deals with Trail Mix context determination
