Why Are There Fewer Tropical Cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere?
When the usual explanation failed, the weakening Madden–Julian Oscillation emerged as the main reason for the decline in tropical cyclones over recent decades.
Bringing Precision to Complex Limb Deformity Correction Through 3D-Printed Patient-Specific Guides
Correcting complex limb deformities is about creating and executing a plan. This paper includes two challenging cases in which conventional techniques reached their limits, and 3D-printed patient-specific guides helped bridge the gap between virtual planning and surgical precision.
When Sound Holds Its Shape
A simple repeating sound can be heard as one stream or two. We asked whether sensory processing sensitivity, a trait linked to subtle sensory awareness, is associated with how auditory percepts switch and stabilize over time.
