Based on a previously published exposure-effect model of Electroencephalography (EEG)-awakening reactions (AWR) due to nightly church bell noise events, as well as on geocoded building and population data, we estimated the total number of the church bell noise induced awakenings on the population of the Canton of Zurich, in Switzerland.The calculat
Pleiotropy arises when a locus influences multiple traits.Rich GWAS findings of various traits in the past decade reveal many examples of this phenomenon, suggesting the wide existence of pleiotropic effects.What underlies this phenomenon is the biological connection among seemingly unrelated traits/diseases.Characterizing the molecular mechanisms
Endophytic bacteria from three arboreal species native to the Amazon (Carapa guianenses, Ceiba pentandra, and Swietenia macrophylla), were isolated and identified, through partial sequencing of the 16S rRNA encoding gene.From these, 16 isolates were obtained, although, when compared to sequences deposited in GenBank, only seven la rams crop top hel
Abstract Background We present a case of beak trauma not previously been reported in a blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna) and its successful conservative treatment.Several cases of fractures affecting the mandibular, maxillary and maxillofacial bones and pterygo-palatine dislocations, which have been studied using traditional radiology and CT; ho
Bifurcations in dynamical systems characterize qualitative changes in the system behavior.Therefore, their detection is important because they can signal the transition from normal system operation to read more imminent failure.In an experimental setting, this transition could lead to incorrect data or damage to the entire experiment.While standard
