Pteropus griseus (gray flying fox) is a species of Old World Pressure Washers fruit bat that is listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as Data Deficient.The species is found on small islands in the Lesser Sundas and Sulawesi, and is endemic to Indonesia, but no contemporary roosts are known, and the last study of the sp
Echolocating animals reduce their output level and hearing sensitivity with decreasing echo delays, presumably to stabilize the perceived echo intensity during target approaches.In bats, this variation in hearing sensitivity is formed by a call-induced stapedial reflex that tapers off over time after the call.Here, we test the hypothesis that a sim
Background: Early initiation of chronic dialysis (starting dialysis with higher vs lower kidney function) has risen rapidly in the past 2 decades in Canada and internationally, despite absence of established health benefits and higher costs.In 2014, a Canadian guideline on the timing of dialysis initiation, recommending an intent-to-defer approach,
Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been widely adopted for modeling graph-structure data.Most existing GNN studies have focused on designing different strategies to propagate information over the graph structures.After systematic investigations, we observe that the propagation step in GNNs matters, but Leather Wax its resultant performance improveme
