Weevils represent one of the most speciose and economically important animal clades, but remain poorly studied across much of the Oriental Region.Here, an integrative revision of the Oriental, flightless genus Aphanerostethus Voss, 1957 (Curculionidae: Molytinae) based on X-ray microtomography, multi-gene DNA barcoding (CO1, Cytb, 16S), and traditi

Abstract Background Pompe disease is a rare, progressive metabolic myopathy.The aim of this study is to investigate the associations of physical outcomes with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in late-onset Pompe disease.Methods We included 121 Dutch adult patients with Pompe disease.Physical outcomes comprised muscle strength (manual muscl

The welfare of animals under human care is often assessed by observing behaviours indicative of stress or discomfort, such as stereotypical behaviour (SB), which often shows as repetitive, invariant pacing.Traditional behaviour monitoring methods, however, are labour-intensive and subject to observer bias.Our study presents an innovative automated

Response of various soybean genotipes against cowpea mild mottle virus (CPMMV) infection.The green house experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of CPMMV infection on growth and yield of various soybean varieties.Treatments were arranged in completely randomized block design in split plot experiment.Mainplots were virus-inoculated and Ad

Function-integrative textiles bear the potential for a variety of applications in the medical field.Recent clinical investigations suggest that the application of a function-integrative fabric could have a positive impact on currently applied diagnostic procedures of a specific type of tumour.In this context, the fabric should enable local warming
