Abstract Background Hibernation allows animals to survive periods of resource scarcity by reducing their energy expenditure through decreased metabolism.However, hibernators become susceptible to psychrophilic pathogens if they cannot mount an efficient immune response to infection.While Nearctic bats infected with white-nose syndrome (WNS) suffer
In non-merger antitrust cases efficiencies should play a significant role when authorities decide on cases as many potentially anticompetitive practices may have pro-competition effects, according to economic theory.In many jurisdictions rule of reason or effect based legal standard is claimed to be the policy adopted Girls Backpack according to th
Stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) are among the most important pollinators of tropical forests.Peru is considered a hotspot of biodiversity of Meliponini, but many areas of this country (e.g., Peruvian Amazon) remain unexplored.We aimed to produce a first inventory of stingless bee species dwelling in humid and seasonally dry forests of nort
Graphene and its associated compounds have been identified as extraordinary structural nano-fillers that can tailor the properties of new polymer-based composites with specific functionalities.Graphene possesses perfect 2D atomic architecture and has a large surface area that enhances the bonding, with tailored functional groups on its surface with
A kinematics analysis of a new hybrid mechanical leg suitable for bipedal robots was carried out COD LIVER OIL and the gait of the robot walking on flat ground was planned.Firstly, the kinematics of the hybrid mechanical leg were analyzed and the applicable relevant models were established.Secondly, based on the preliminary motion requirements, the
