ABSTRACT Aspergillosis is a fungal disease with high morbidity and mortality in wild and exotic bird species.The aim of this report is to describe a case of acute aspergillosis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus in a young African grey parrot (Psittacus B6 erithacus).A three-month-old male African grey parrot from a commercial breeding site presented
Abstract The mechanisms of bifurcation, a key step in thyroid development, are largely unknown.Here we find three zebrafish lines from a forward genetic screening with similar thyroid dysgenesis Bone Matrix phenotypes and identify a stop-gain mutation in hgfa and two missense mutations in met by positional cloning from these zebrafish lines.The elo
Most people struggle to understand probability which is an issue for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) researchers who need to communicate risks and uncertainties to the participants in their studies, the media and policy makers.Previous work showed that even the use of numerical values to express probabilities does not guarantee an accurate understand
In the field of rigid parallel manipulators, the Delta parallel robot is one of the most popular choices in the industry due to its ability to adapt to a wide range of applications, particularly pick-and-place tasks.In this paper, the authors present novel designs Shower Chairs of Delta-type continuum parallel manipulators with flexible bars, solvi
