Photogrammetry has become an essential tool in medical and research fields for generating high-fidelity 3D models from 2D images. However, optimizing the imaging and processing parameters remains a challenge, particularly for fresh brain specimens, where repeated imaging is not feasible. This study systematically evaluates the impact of various Metashape alignment settings on 3D reconstruction outcomes, analyzing 12,600 config...

Purpose of Review Parking is a ubiquitous feature of the built environment, but its implications for public health are under-examined. This narrative review synthesizes literature to describe pathways through which parking may affect population health. Recent Findings We begin by contextualizing the issue, outlining key terminology, the sheer scale of land dedicated to parking, and the historical factors that led to this domin...

SARS-CoV-2 is the causal agent of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in humans that emerged in late 2019. This virus is able to infect humans and different animal species. Among pets, cats and ferrets are more susceptible to be infected by the SARS-CoV-2. Epidemiological studies are an important tool to provide information under natural conditions of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 virus. In comparison to cats, limited epidemiological...

Surubim ( Pseudoplatystoma corruscans , Pimelodidae) are migratory catfish native to the rivers in the La Plata and São Francisco basins. They are piscivores that attain considerable body sizes and are a valuable economic resource. Surubim exhibits extensive migrations during its life cycle that may affect the population structure at vast geographic scales. The authors examined the genetic diversity and population genetic stru...

The monitoring of trends in the status of species or habitats is routine in developed countries, where it is funded by the state or large nongovernmental organizations and often involves large numbers of skilled amateur volunteers. Far less monitoring of natural resources takes place in developing countries, where state agencies have small budgets, there are fewer skilled professionals or amateurs, and socioeconomic conditions...
