Abstract:

AbstractI compared data collection rates for continuous and interval focal samples during a two-year, single-observer field study of white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus) in Costa Rica. I also compared the basic activity budgets generated by the two sampling methods, estimates of numbers in proximity, and rates at which additional ad libitum observations could be recorded. I collected 1238 hours of focal data (620 hr continuous, 618 hr interval). I found focal interval sampling to be 25% more time efficient, despite higher rate of sample loss, partly because interval samples are easier to ob

Abstract:

Researchers frequently use focal individual sampling to study primate communication. Recent studies of primate gestures have shown that opportunistic sampling offers benefits not found in focal individual sampling, such as the collection of larger sample sizes. What is not known is whether the opportunistic method is biased towards certain signal types or signalers. Our goal was to assess the validity of the opportunistic method by comparing focal individual sampling to opportunistic sampling of facial and gestural communication in a group of captive chimpanzees (<i>Pan troglodytes</i

Abstract:

We agree with the authors of the focal article that too little attention is paid to sampling in industrial–organizational (I-O) psychology research. Upon reflection and in response to the focal article by Landers and Behrend (2015), we answer three primary questions: (a) What is it about our training, science, and practice as I-O psychologists that has led to less focus on sampling issues? (b) Does it matter? (c) If so, then what should we do about it?

A method for the efficient computation of multifrequency focal beams for 3D seismic acquisition geometry analysis has been developed.

Therefore, we propose a rapid 3D multifrequency focal beam method in which only a few single-frequency focal beam computations are followed by a number of smart interpolations. The 3D wa

Background: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a cause of persistent hypoglycemia. Histologically, there are two subgroups, diffuse and focal. Focal CHI is a consequence of two independent events, inheritance of a paternal mutation in ABCC8/KCNJ11 and paternal uniparental isodisomy of chromosome 11p15 within the embryonic pancreas, leading to an imbalance in the expression of imprinted genes. The probability of both events occurring within siblings is rare. Aim: We describe the first familial form of focal CHI in two siblings.

Congenital hyperinsulinism is a common cause of persistent hypoglycaemia in neonates. Cases resistant to medicamentous therapy require surgical treatment, where the greatest challenge is to differentiate focal from diffuse forms of the disease and to localize the focal lesion.

Partial pancreatectomy for focal forms has lower complication rate and diabetes mellitus development than radical neartotal pancreatectomy for diffuse forms. We report a case

We have developed a novel regularized approach to estimate a composite focal mechanism for microseismic events that share a similar source mechanism.

This approach overcomes the low signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and single-event azimuthal gaps that may otherwise limit the effectiveness of sparse surface arrays.

We are mapping 29 rotational transitions of 21 chemical and isotopic molecular species in the central Orion molecular ridge with Nyquist sampling using the new 15-element focal plane array receiver QUARRY on the FCRAO 14 m telescope. Our goal is to obtain complete, unbiased data sets for a study of the interrelated physics and chemistry in GMC cores.

Objectives: The aim of this paper is to analyze clinical targets for lacosamide (LCM) blood levels in patients with focal epilepsy. Referring to the LCM optimal range will encourage us to think about the importance and usefulness of measuring its blood levels. Methods: A total of 101 (45 female, 56 male) patients were treated with LCM. Blood sampling was performed 1 month after the start of oral medication (the levels reached a steady state) if the LCM treatment had been continued, and then 6 and 12 months after. The efficacy of LCM was evaluated by the reduction in the epileptic seizure rate

Lesack et al. recently published a cross-sectional study that focused on human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling in the screened population, a population not conventionally thought of for HPV self-sampling. They found 52% of well-screened, highly educated women who participated in the Human Papillomavirus For Cervical Cancer (HPV FOCAL) screening trial in British Columbia, Canada, would be willing to self-collect an HPV sample. We published a similar study in 2021 on well-screened, highly educated women affiliated with a family medicine clinic in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and found that 60%

AbstractPresentation of metastasis as a solitary focal lesion at an intravascular location is encountered quite infrequently. Owing to its intravascular location, accessing the lesion for sampling and obtaining an adequate amount of tissue are technically difficult. Among the various methods of obtaining an adequate sample from intravascular lesions, scoop and trucut biopsies appear to be safer and more advantageous. The authors present a case of a 65-year-old woman with symptoms of superior vena cava syndrome secondary to a solitary focal fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)–avid thrombus within the supe

Abstract A Forward Calorimeter (FoCal) has been proposed as part of the ALICE upgrades for data taking from 2029 onwards. The FoCal will feature a sampling electromagnetic calorimeter segmented into 110 towers supplemented by a hadron calorimeter. The electromagnetic calorimeter will be composed of 20 passive layers of tungsten absorber interleaved with 18 active layers of low-granularity silicon pad sensors and two layers of high-granularity pixel detectors. Each pad layer will be read out by 110 silicon pad sensors of 72 channels, amounting to a total of 1980 sensors. This paper describes, f

Method used in this research was a 20x2m belt transect with 3 replicates. Results show that the prevalence value was between 27,94% – 58,25%. The value was quite higher if compared with other prevalence on some place in indonesia. Average value of coral disease abundance in this research was 0,23 ind/m2. There was 13 types of coral disease found during sampling, including Fish Bite, Drupella Predation, Acanthaster planci Predation, White Syndrome, Ulcerative W

Abstract:

Despite a tremendous leap in efficiency and wavefield sampling over the past two decades, it is sometimes still difficult to achieve adequate coverage and resolution with marine streamer acquisition. It is therefore necessary to carefully study the acquisition geometry, especially with respect to resolution and image quality in the crossline direction. We have extended the existing focal beam method to analyze marine streamer geometries with and without using all multiples. The focal beam analysis method provides a direct link between the acquisition parameters at the surface (number of source

ContextCongenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) has two main histological types: diffuse and focal. Heterozygous paternally inherited ABCC8/KCNJ11 mutations (depending upon whether recessive or dominant acting and occurrence of somatic maternal allele loss) can give rise to either phenotype. However, the relative proportion of these two phenotypes in a large cohort of CHI patients due to paternally inherited heterozygous ABCC8/KCNJ11 mutations has not been reported.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to highlight the variable clinical phenotype and to characterise the distribution of diffuse and foc

We compare relative performances of flat-tipped, beveled (two-fiber and six-around-one), and single-lensed focused fiber-optic Raman probes and, where feasible, evaluate the utility of optical filters for reducing fiber background. The sensitivity profile of each probe is determined by measuring the relative intensity of light backscattered off a flat surface as a function of distance from the probe tip. The experimental results are compared with a simple light-cone-overlap model incorporating fiber numerical aperture, fiber and immersion medium refractive indices, separation between excitatio
