Comparison of Two Techniques for the Detection of Flea Faeces in Canine and Feline Coat Brushings by Marie-Christine Cadiergues, Caroline Cabaret-Mandin, Chloé Solatges

“…After drying, reddish aureoles were counted. 255 animals (158 dogs and 97 cats) were included. 119 (47%) and 94 (37%) samples were revealed to be positive with WBPT and MT, respectively. 13 cases (5%) were positive with MT only and 38 cases (15%) were positive with WBPT only. 81 cases (32%) were positive and 123 (48%) were negative with both techniques. …”

On expansions for nonlinear systems Error estimates and convergence issues by Beauchard, Karine, Le Borgne, Jérémy, Marbach, Frédéric

“…Inspired by quantum mechanics, we introduce a new mixed expansion, designed to isolate the role of a time-invariant drift from the role of a time-varying perturbation.Second, in the context of nonlinear ordinary differential equations driven by regular vector fields, we give rigorous proofs of error estimates between the exact solution and finite approximations of the formal expansions. …”

Available Degrees of Spatial Multiplexing of a Uniform Linear Array With Multiple Polarizations: A Holographic Perspective by Xavier Mestre, Adrian Agustin, David Sarda

“…A capacity analysis is presented when the number of elements of the ULA increases without bound while the interelement distance converges to zero, so that the total aperture length is kept asymptotically fixed. In particular, the total number of available spatial degrees of freedom is shown to depend crucially on the receiver position in space, and closed form expressions are provided for the different achievability regions. …”

Monitoring Detrusor Oxygenation and Hemodynamics Noninvasively during Dysfunctional Voiding by Andrew J. Macnab, Lynn S. Stothers, Babak Shadgan

“…This methodological report describes how to conduct simultaneous NIRS monitoring of detrusor oxygenation and hemodynamics during UDS, outlines the clinical implications and practical applications of NIRS, explains the principles of physiologic interpretation of NIRS voiding data, and proposes an exploratory hypothesis that the pathophysiological causes underlying LUTS include detrusor dysfunction due to an abnormal hemodynamic response or the onset of oxygen debt during voiding.…”
