The Rare Large Common Peroneal Nerve’s Schwannoma—A Case Report and Literature Review by Rudiansyah Harahap, Nurmaliannysa Dwinandia Harahap

“…A thorough early examination includes correct and systematic anamnesis, physical examination, and neurological evaluation such as paraesthesia, hypoesthesia, and Tinel’s sign; also, additional examinations, such as radiographic, ultrasound, and MRI, are needed for early detection of schwannoma so that delays in diagnosis and surgery can be avoided to prevent neurological deficits.…”

The Unique Helium Nova V445 Puppis Ejected ≫0.001 M⊙ in the Year 2000 and Will Not Become a Type Ia Supernova by Bradley E. Schaefer

“…Further, for V445 Pup and helium novae in general, I collect observations from 136 normal SNIa for which any giant or subgiant companion star would have been detected, yet zero companions are found. This is an independent proof that V445 Pup and helium novae are not SNIa progenitors.…”

Rapid determination of the physiological temperature range for the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) by Meng-Li Tsai, Tsen-Chien Chen, Zi-Yan Chou, Wen-Yi Wu

“…Current methods for determining the physiological temperature ranges of prawns rely more on the prawns’ external behavior than on their intrinsic physiology. However, detecting distress in benthic crustaceans, such as prawns, on the basis of external behavior is challenging because these organisms do not close their eyes, have expressionless faces, and often remain dormant with minimal body movement. …”

Gaussian mixtures closest to a given measure via optimal transport by Lasserre, Jean B.

“…If the original measure $\mu $ is not a Gaussian mixture with parameters $(\mathbf{m},\mathbf{\Sigma })\in S$, then a strictly positive distance is detected at a finite step of the hierarchy. If the original measure $\mu $ is a Gaussian mixture with parameters $(\mathbf{m},\mathbf{\Sigma })\in S$, then all semidefinite relaxations of the hierarchy have same zero optimal value. …”

Deciphering mixed infections by plant RNA virus and reconstructing complete genomes simultaneously present within-host. by Martine Bangratz, Aurore Comte, Estelle Billard, Abdoul Kader Guigma, Guillaume Gandolfi, Abalo Itolou Kassankogno, Drissa Sérémé, Nils Poulicard, Charlotte Tollenaere

“…In most cases, the complete genome sequences were obtained, which is particularly important for a better estimation of viral diversity and the detection of recombination events. The method described thus allows to identify various haplotypes of RYMV simultaneously infecting a single rice plant, obtaining their full-length sequences, as well as a rough estimate of relative frequencies within the sample. …”
