Strongly polyphenic social insects provide excellent models to examine the neurobiological basis of division of labor.Turtle ants, Cephalotes varians, have distinct minor worker, soldier, and reproductive (gyne/queen) morphologies associated with their behavioral profiles: small-bodied task-generalist minors lack the phragmotic shield-shaped heads
Penetrating Chest trauma with right atrium rupture - A case report

Theoretical guarantees for permutation-equivariant quantum neural networks
Abstract Despite the great promise of quantum machine learning models, there are several challenges one must overcome before unlocking their full potential.For instance, models based on quantum neural networks (QNNs) can suffer from excessive local minima and barren plateaus in their training landscapes.Recently, the nascent field of geometric quan
Polygenic risk score-based phenome-wide association study identifies novel associations for Tourette syndrome
Abstract Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by vocal and motor tics lasting more than a year.It is highly polygenic in nature with both rare and common previously associated variants.Epidemiological studies have shown TS to be correlated with other phenotypes, but large-scale phenome wide analyses in bioba
