An understanding of the survival probability and abundance of endangered species is critical for their effective conservation and management.In this study, long-term capture-mark-recapture data were used to estimate the apparent survival probability and abundance of green turtles Chelonia mydas at Kuroshima Island in the Yaeyama Cooler Islands, Jap

Chronic non-specific low back pain Tape Dispensers (CNLBP) is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide.Acupoint embedding (ACE) is widely used in China for the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain, but there are no rigorous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to confirm the effectiveness and safety of ACE for chronic non-specifi

The temperature distribution inside a radiant heater for cooking purposes has not yet been fully investigated.A numerical methodology was developed to analyze the heat transfer inside a Ignitor Button Cover radiant heater.The numerical methodology was validated by experimental analysis, which showed close agreement for the temperature distributions

ABSTRACT Growth hormone therapy with daily injections of recombinant human growth hormone has been available since 1985, and Cooler is shown to be safe and effective treatment for short stature in children and for adult growth hormone deficiency.In an effort to produce a product that would improve patient adherence, there has been a strong effort f

Increasing sand temperatures resulting from climate change may negatively impact sea turtle nests by altering sex ratios and decreasing reproductive output.We analyzed the effect of nest shading and watering on sand temperatures as climate mitigation strategies in a beach hatchery at Playa Grande, Costa Rica.We set up plots and placed thermocouples
