Identification and genomic characterization of a novel porcine parvovirus in China

Porcine parvoviruses (PPVs) are a group of small non-enveloped viruses with seven species (porcine parvovirus 1–7, PPV1-7) have been identified. In this study, a novel porcine parvovirus, provisionally named porcine parvovirus 8 (PPV8), was...

The Effects of Eyestalk Ablation on the Androgenic Gland and the Male Reproductive Organs in the Kuruma Prawn <i>Marsupenaeus japonicus</i>

Insulin-like androgenic gland factor (IAG) is considered a key regulator of male sexual differentiation and maturation in decapod crustaceans. In several species, IAG expression is thought to be negatively regulated by the eyestalk, as demo...

Amphibious Worlds:Environments, Infrastructures, Ontologies

Presently, we are witness to a global intensification of water-related disasters related to flooding, sinking erosion, and drought, reflecting changes in global water circulation, rising sea levels and changing weather patterns. Indeed, wat...

Point of Care Ultrasonographic Life Support in Emergency (PULSE)—a quasi-experimental study

Abstract Background Many physicians use point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) in their clinical practice to improve their diagnostic capabilities, accuracy, and timeliness. Over the last two decades, the use of PoCUS in the emergency room has dr...

Characterization of partnerships and collaborations in US cities' urban resilience plans

Purpose – The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG) number 13 calls for urgent action to combat climate change impacts. Urban resilience planning documents often articulate partnerships and collaborations (P&Cs) as critical s...

Numerical Simulation of Cooling Plate Using K-Epsilon Turbulence Model to Cool Down Large-Sized Graphite/LiFePO₄ Battery at High C-Rates

In this paper, an analogous study of the velocity and temperature profiles inside microchannel cooling plates (with hydraulic diameter of 6 mm), placed on a large pouch-type LiFePO4 battery, is presented using both the laboratory and simula...

RESEARCH ON THE POSITIONING OF PROTECTION AND UTILIZATION OF HISTORIC DISTRICTS UNDER BIG DATA ANALYSIS

Historic districts are a special type of cultural heritage, as living cultural heritage, the utilization and development of historical districts is an inevitable issue. How to accurately position the protection and utilization of districts...

Identifying marine invasion threats and management priorities through introduction pathway analysis in a remote sub‐Antarctic ecosystem

Abstract The threat from novel marine species introductions is a global issue. When non‐native marine species are introduced to novel environments and become invasive, they can affect biodiversity, industry, ecosystem function, and both hum...

Infrared Thermographic Evaluation Following Hemilaminectomy in Dogs with Thoracolumbar Intervertebral Disc Extrusion: A Pilot Study

(1) Background: Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) represents one of the most frequently encountered neurological disorders in canine patients and often necessitates surgical decompression by means of hemilaminectomy. Objective methods for ...

Vacuum stability in stau-neutralino coannihilation in MSSM

The stau-neutralino coannihilation provides a feasible way to accommodate the observed cosmological dark matter (DM) relic density in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). In such a coannihilation mechanism the stau mass usually...

Phage Genetic Engineering Using CRISPR–Cas Systems

Since their discovery over a decade ago, the class of prokaryotic immune systems known as CRISPR&ndash;Cas have afforded a suite of genetic tools that have revolutionized research in model organisms spanning all domains of life. CRISPR-medi...

Software Tools for the Lifecycle Support of Safety Instrumented Systems

Correlating single-molecule rupture mechanics with cell population adhesion by yeast display

Here, we present a method based on yeast surface display that allows for direct comparison between population-level cell adhesion strength and single-molecule receptor-ligand rupture mechanics. We developed a high-throughput yeast adhesion ...

Scientific approach and practical experience for reconstruction of waste water treatment plants in Russia

Protection of water bodies has a strict dependence on reliable operation of engineering systems and facilities for water supply and sewage. The majority of these plants and stations has been constructed in 1970-1980's in accordance with rul...
