Background: Among the potential indications for growth hormone (GH) therapy is the presence of mutations in the bbs-dog-collar- SHOX (short stature homeobox-containing) gene, located in the telomeric pseudotautosomal region (PAR1) on the short arm of both sex chromosomes.Despite general recommendations supporting GH therapy in these cases, there is
In three studies, we examined factors that may temporarily attenuate information search.People are generally curious and dislike uncertainty, which typically encourages them to look for relevant information.Despite these strong forces that promote information search, people sometimes deliberately delay obtaining valuable information.We find they ma
Stable isotope analysis of animal tissues allows description of isotopic niches, whose axes in an n-dimensional space are the isotopic ratios, compared to a standard, of different isotope systems (e.g.δ(13)C, δ(15)N).Isotopic niches are informative about where an animal, population or species lives and about what it consumes.Here we describe inte
Abstract Observing animals in the wild often poses extreme challenges, but animal‐borne accelerometers are increasingly revealing unobservable behaviours.Automated machine learning streamlines behaviour identification from the substantial datasets generated during multi‐animal, long‐term studies; however, the accuracy of such models depends o
Cerenkov Emission (CE) during external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) from a linear accelerator (Linac) has been demonstrated as a useful tool for radiotherapy quality assurance and potentially other applications for online tracking of tumors during treatment delivery.However, some of the current challenges that are impacting the potential of CE are
