MULTI-SCALE HABITAT SELECTION AND CONSTRAINTS OF A SMALL ASIAN ELEPHANT POPULATION IN YUNNAN NANGUNHE NATIONAL NATURE RESERVE, CHINA

Multi-scale habitat selection and constraints of a small Asian elephant population in Yunnan Nangunhe National Nature Reserve, China

The Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) populations in Yunnan Nangunhe National Nature Reserve (NNNR) represents the smallest known population in China and geographically isolated from other Asian elephant populations, potentially leading to their gradual extinction over time.Therefore, multi-scale habitat selection and habitat suitability analyses we

Surface Treatment of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) by Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) for Biocompatibility Enhancement

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is one of the most commonly used polymers in joint replacements because of its biologically inert properties and low friction coefficient.However, it has downfalls relating to its wear, adhesion, and lubrication.In this study, UHMWPE samples were treated with a tubular helium cold atmospheric pressu
