BackgroundInternational humanitarian aid workers (iHAWs) are motivated strongly to travel abroad to help communities affected by war, famine, disaster and disease.They expose themselves to dangers and hardships during their field assignments.Despite working under such challenging circumstances, most workers remain healthy.The objective of the prese
Declines of large sharks and subsequent release of elasmobranch mesopredators (smaller sharks and rays) may pose problems for marine fisheries management as some mesopredators consume exploitable shellfish species.The spotted eagle ray (Aetobatus narinari) is the most abundant inshore elasmobranch in subtropical Bermuda, but its predatory role rema
Stress and social isolation are well-known risk factors for psychopathology.However, more research is needed as to the physiological mechanisms by which social support buffers the impacts of stress.Research in animal models suggests important roles for progesterone (P) and its product, the neuroactive steroid allopregnanolone (ALLO), in stress and
This study introduces ETLBOCBL-CNN, an automated approach for optimizing convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures to address classification tasks of varying complexities.ETLBOCBL-CNN employs an effective encoding scheme to optimize network and learning hyperparameters, enabling the discovery of innovative CNN structures.To enhance the searc
Flexible liposomes (FLs) were developed as promising nano-carriers for anticancer drugs.Coating them with chitosan (CS) could improve their Stash Cans drug delivery properties.The aim of this study was to investigate the physicochemical characteristics, pharmacokinetics behavior, and cytotoxic efficacy of docetaxel (DTX)-loaded CS-coated FLs (C-FLs
