Reduced levels of relatedness indicate that great-tailed grackles disperse further at the edge of their range Open
It is generally thought that behavioral flexibility, the ability to change behavior when circumstances change, plays an important role in the ability of a species to rapidly expand their geographic range. To expand into new areas, individu…

Parental management of autoimmune disease with complementary and alternative medicine: a scoping review of the literature in OECD countries Open
Introduction The prevalence of autoimmune disease (AD) is increasing in both paediatric and adult populations, resulting in a rise in healthcare utilisation for symptom management. With no known cure for ADs, management options include con…

Morphological characteristics of the thoracolumbar fascia: relationship to chronic low back pain and back extension strength Open
Future studies investigating TLF characteristics at multiple spinal levels while also considering the multidirectional and multilayered implications of the TLF are needed to better clarify the role of TLF morphology in spine biomechanics.

Clifford algebras and liquid crystalline fermions Open
We show that Clifford algebras provide a natural language to describe the physics of liquid crystal defects in 3D. This framework shows that most of these defects have fermionic nature, as the director field profile on a 2D cross section c…

Behavioral flexibility is related to foraging, but not social or habitat use behaviors, in a species that is rapidly expanding its range Open
The ability of other species to adapt to human modified environments is increasingly crucial because of the rapid expansion of this landscape type. Behavioral flexibility, the ability to change behavior in the face of a changing environmen…

3D Bioprinting of Acellular Corneal Stromal Scaffolds with a Low Cost Modified 3D Printer: A Feasibility Study Open
The printed corneal models exhibited visible transparency and a dome shape, demonstrating the potential of this process for the preparation of acellular partial thickness corneal replacements. The modified printing process presented a low-…

Experiences and challenges related to wellbeing faced by Australian higher degree research candidates prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic Open
Higher degree research candidates experience higher rates of anxiety and depression than the general population. This study explored the wellbeing and experiences of two independent groups of HDR candidates. One participating prior to the …

Specific psychological therapies versus other therapies or no treatment for severe and enduring anorexia nervosa Open
This review reports evidence from one trial that evaluated CBT-SEAN versus SSCM-SE. There was very low-certainty evidence of little or no difference in clinical improvement and treatment non-completion between the two therapies. There is a…

Cephalic version by moxibustion for breech presentation Open
We found moderate-certainty evidence that moxibustion plus usual care probably reduces the chance of non-cephalic presentation at birth, but uncertain evidence about the need for ECV. Moderate-certainty evidence from one study shows that m…

Carbohydrate utilization by the gut microbiome determines host health responsiveness to whole grain type and processing methods Open
Little is known about how interactions among grain processing, grain type, and carbohydrate utilization (CU) by the microbiome influence the health benefits of whole grains. Therefore, two whole grains - brown rice and whole wheat - and tw…
