This work presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a passive printed radiofrequency identification tag in the ultra-high-frequency band with multiple optical sensing read more capabilities.This tag includes five photodiodes to cover a wide spectral range from near-infrared to visible and ultraviolet spectral regions.The tag antenna
Bone density of the femoral neck in patients on maintenance dialysis.
BACKGROUND:Our institution recently started using the femoral neck (FN), as well as the non-shunted distal radius (Rd), to measure bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with chronic kidney disease.We examined read more the utility and characteristics of this measurement in patients on maintenance dialysis.METHODS:We selected 293 patients on chroni
Tradeoffs with Growth and Behavior for Captive Box Turtles Head-Started with Environmental Enrichment
Head-starting is a conservation strategy that entails releasing captive-reared animals into nature at sizes large enough to better resist post-release predation.However, efforts to maximize growth in captivity may jeopardize development of beneficial behaviors.Environmental enrichment can encourage natural behaviors before release but potentially c
