ASSESSING THE ROLE OF DENS IN THE SPREAD, ESTABLISHMENT AND PERSISTENCE OF SARCOPTIC MANGE IN AN ENDANGERED CANID

Assessing the role of dens in the spread, establishment and persistence of sarcoptic mange in an endangered canid

Sarcoptic mange is a skin disease caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei that can devastate populations of wild species.S.scabiei can survive off-host and remain infective for specific periods.In den-dwelling species, dislodged mites could be protected from click here the environmental conditions that impair their survival thus supporting pathogen tr

Blockade of the mitochondrial DNA release ameliorates hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury through avoiding the activation of cGAS-Sting pathway

Abstract Background Liver surgery during the perioperative period often leads to a significant complication known as hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.Hepatic I/R injury is linked to the innate immune response.The cGAS-STING pathway triggers the activation of innate immune through the detection of DNA within cells.Nevertheless, the precise

Illumination Geometry and Flying Height Influence Surface Reflectance and NDVI Derived from Multispectral UAS Imagery

Small unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have allowed the mapping of vegetation at very high spatial resolution, but a lack of standardisation has led to uncertainties regarding data quality.For reflectance measurements and vegetation indices (Vis) to be comparable between sites and over time, careful flight planning and robust radiometric calibration p

A note on precision-preserving compression of scientific data

Lossy compression of here scientific data arrays is a powerful tool to save network bandwidth and storage space.Properly applied lossy compression can reduce the size of a dataset by orders of magnitude while keeping all essential information, whereas a wrong choice of lossy compression parameters leads to the loss of valuable data.An important cla

The use of thermographic techniques and analysis of thermal images to monitor the respiratory rate of premature new-borns

The problem studied in this paper is the possibility of applying a non-invasive technique in monitoring respiratory rate in premature infants.At this skull bride and groom time the systems used to monitor respiration in the newborn are difficult to use and do not provide satisfactory results.This paper proposes the use of thermographic technique an
