Traits such as clutch size vary markedly across species and environmental gradients but have usually been investigated from either a comparative or a geographic perspective, respectively.We analyzed the global variation in clutch size SUNGLASSES across 5,290 bird species, excluding brood parasites and pelagic species.We integrated intrinsic (morpho
This paper describes flight planning supported by modeling, guidance, and Strainer Filter feedback control for an electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) QuadPlane small Uncrewed Aircraft System (sUAS).Five Lift+Cruise sUAS waypoint types are defined and used to construct smooth flight path geometries and acceleration profiles.Novel accelera
BackgroundDespite the introduction of new insulin analogs, insulin pumps, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), young children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) remain vulnerable to episodes of hypoglycemia because of their unpredictable eating and activity patterns and high degree of insulin sensitivity.Caregivers and young children living wi
Greater availability and utilization of modern radiological imaging modalities have resulted in an increase in the incidental discovery of renal cell carcinoma.Such tumours tend to be smaller than their symptomatic counterparts and may potentially be adequately treated using nephron-sparing surgery.Methods: A retrospective review of all patients wh
