Increases in the susceptibility of human endometrial CD4+ T cells to HIV-1 infection post-menopause are not dependent on greater viral receptor expression frequency by Landon G. vom Steeg, Zheng Shen, Jane Collins, Mickey V. Patel, Fiona D. Barr, Daniel C. Hopkins, Christina Ochsenbauer, Charles R. Wira

“…Epidemiological evidence suggests that post-menopausal women are more susceptible to HIV infection following sexual intercourse than are younger cohorts for reasons that remain unclear. Here, we evaluated how menopause-associated changes in CD4+ T cell numbers and subsets as well as HIV coreceptor expression, particularly CCR5, in the endometrium (EM), endocervix (CX), and ectocervix (ECX) may alter HIV infection susceptibility. …”

Low-cost phone-based LiDAR scanning technology provides sub-centimeter accuracy when measuring the main dimensions of motor-manual tree felling cuts by Stelian Alexandru Borz, Andrea Rosario Proto

“…However, volume loss estimates based on LiDAR scanning of tree bottoms are very sensitive to the accuracy of scans, while low-cost platforms may lack the capability to produce point clouds of an acceptable density at a reasonable distance. This study was setup to check to what extent proximal scanning by low-cost LiDAR platforms can provide accurate data to support the extraction and computation of volume loss by motor-manual tree felling. …”

La tranchée supérieure de l’aqueduc du Gier à Saint-Joseph (Loire) : nouvelles données et synthèse by Kilian Blanc, Guillaume Maza

“…While it is undoubtedly linked with the Gier aqueduct, it seems to be more than a levelling error, but rather part of a different aqueduct project from the one finally executed –an aqueduct that would have been around ten metres higher, narrower and likely to have developed more significantly in the Janon, Langonand and Durèze valleys. While the reasons for its abandonment remain unknown, it would appear that a construction project, even one that has started, does not stand still. …”
