Summary: Living in a matriarchal fission-fusion social structure, African savannah elephants derive benefits from group living, but the movement patterns may differ during reproduction. Studying the movement patterns of mother elephants during gestation, parturition, and with a newborn calf is crucial for understanding fission-fusion social dynamics.

Summary: This study examined calving and neonatal mortality of boreal woodland caribou in Ontario using a movement-based approach, revealing that caribou prefer lowlands and closed-canopied forests for calving and early calf development. There is also a risk of neonatal mortality associated with increased use of lowlands and greater postpartum movement rates.

Summary: Climate change has direct impacts on woodland caribou populations, affecting vital rates like juvenile recruitment and adult female survival. The correlation between annual climatic variation and these vital rates underscores the importance of considering adverse climate conditions in conservation efforts for declining caribou populations.

Summary: Adult-onset dystonia can be acquired, inherited or idiopathic. Recent advances in neuroimmunology and genetic diagnostics have increased our understanding of the disease. To ensure early diagnosis and prevent unnecessary investigations, a new five-step diagnostic approach has been designed. The approach focuses on early identification of treatable forms of dystonia, both acquired and genetic. This novel diagnostic method can aid clinicians in deciding when to perform additional tests, including genetic testing, and facilitate timely treatment.

Summary: This paper introduces a methodology that imitates human memory forgetting process to protect privacy in patient-centric healthcare and develops a privacy quantification framework to evaluate the efficacy of privacy preservation. A home-care-oriented movement analysis system is also designed and a survey is conducted to understand the perception of health professionals.

Summary: This article proposes a novel approach for evaluating cell migration by distinguishing whether cells have migrated based on the regularity of cell morphology changes. A machine learning based algorithm is used to identify migrated cells using the proposed morphological characteristics. This method greatly improves identification accuracy and could be employed as a potential tool for cell counting and evaluation of cell migration.

Summary: Moose demonstrate varying levels of site fidelity in different seasons and regions, with anthropogenic disturbance affecting fidelity significantly. Fidelity is weakest in winter, but similar in other seasons, and is independent of maternal age and the presence of a calf.

Summary: Monitoring neonate survival using camera collars installed on preparturient female caribou in Canada showed that the collars can effectively assess offspring survival, improving understanding of population dynamics. Results suggest that camera collars could be useful for assessing neonate survival in other large vertebrate species where data is limited.

Summary: This study investigated the shallow layers of lunar regolith at the Chang'E-4 landing site using lunar penetrating radar to identify four layers between 0 and 10 m. A revised stratigraphic model was suggested for the post-Imbrian ejecta at the Von Karman crater based on these findings. A novel hyperbola-fitting scheme was proposed to estimate permittivity profiles and detect previously unnoticed layered structures.

Summary: The study compared the effectiveness of force-control training and strength training on braking speed in stroke survivors. The results showed that force-control training significantly improved the speed of movement execution, while strength training did not have the same effect. Therefore, incorporating force-control training into driving rehabilitation after stroke may help improve braking response speed.

Summary: Maize breeding is essential for increasing production, and the doubled haploid (DH) technique is an efficient method. This study introduces DeepMaizeNet, a hybrid deep learning model that accurately classifies haploid maize seeds. The proposed model utilizes advanced techniques and achieves a promising performance with high accuracy, F1-score, and sensitivity.

Summary: The study found that mediators of ferroptosis are expressed in treatment-resistant prostate cancer, and treatment with ferroptosis inducers such as erastin and RSL3 can significantly reduce prostate cancer cell growth and migration, potentially serving as novel therapeutic strategies.

Summary: Variations in rainfall have a negative impact on crop productivity, especially in developing regions. This study presents a deep forecasting model based on an optimized neural network to accurately predict rainfall in Pakistan using 30 years of climate data. The proposed model achieved high prediction accuracy and demonstrated the feasibility of selected variables in precise rainfall forecasting.

Summary: Invasive wild pigs are considered highly damaging species globally, with recent sightings reported in Ontario, Canada. Research suggests that the wild pigs observed in Ontario are likely recent escapes from captivity, with the potential for established groups that have not yet been detected. Reports have also indicated instances of translocation and illegal release of wild pigs in the past.
