Preservation of indigenous gastrointestinal microbiota is critical for successful captive breeding of endangered wild animals, yet its biology is poorly understood.Here, we compared the cecal microbial composition of wild living Japanese rock ptarmigans (Lagopus muta japonica) in different locations of Japanese mountains, and the dominant cecal Gra

A parabolic solar dish concentrator, as the heat source of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), can be used for power generation.Different types of tubular cavity receivers with different nanofluids can be considered for use in the solar dish collector to improve its efficiency.In the current research, an ORC with three different cavity receivers includ

Combinatorial library of novel benzenesulfonamides was docked (Schrodinger Glide) into mycobacterial carbonic anhydrase (mtCA II) and human (hCA II) isoforms with an aim to find drug candidates with selective activity on growsuit mtCA II.The predicted selectivity was calculated based on optimized MM-GBSA free energies for ligand enzyme interactions

The Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC) Prostate Support collaborate on worldwide compilation and dissemination of experimental nuclear reaction data by developing and maintaining the EXFOR database.With the growing interests in the fission product yields of various projectiles and a wide range of energies, several evaluation activities are ongoin

IntroductionFrom late 2014 through 2015, Scott County, Indiana faced an HIV outbreak triggered by opioid abuse and transition to injection drug use.Investigating the origins, risk factors, and responses related to this outbreak is critical to inform future surveillance, interventions, and policymaking.In response, this retrospective infoveillance s
