INFORMING MARINE PROTECTED AREA DESIGNATION AND MANAGEMENT FOR NESTING OLIVE RIDLEY SEA TURTLES USING SATELLITE TRACKING

Informing Marine Protected Area Designation and Management for Nesting Olive Ridley Sea Turtles Using Satellite Tracking

Understanding the horizontal and vertical habitat of olive ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea), a threatened species, is critical for determining regions for protection and relevant gear modifications that may effectively reduce bycatch, the largest threat to this species.Satellite transmitters were used to determine the movement and dive be

Using the Many-Facet Rasch Model to analyse and evaluate the quality of objective structured clinical examination: a non-experimental cross-sectional design

Objectives Sources of bias, such as the examiners, domains and stations, can influence the student marks in objective structured clinical examination (OSCE).This study describes the extent to which the facets modelled in an OSCE can contribute to scoring variance and how they fit into a Many-Facet Liquid Floor Strippers Rasch Model (MFRM) of OSCE p

Co-delivery of nigericin and decitabine using hexahistidine-metal nanocarriers for pyroptosis-induced immunotherapeutics

Pyroptosis provides a new window for relieving the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIM) and promoting systemic immune responses for tumor treatments.However, gasdermin D (GSDMD), a key protein in the pyroptosis process mediated by caspase-1, is low ENZYME URGENT CARE expressed in the majority of tumor cells and small-molecule inhibitors o
