EXAMINATION OF SARCOCYSTIS SPP. OF GIANT SNAKES FROM AUSTRALIA AND SOUTHEAST ASIA CONFIRMS PRESENCE OF A KNOWN PATHOGEN - SARCOCYSTIS NESBITTI.

Examination of Sarcocystis spp. of giant snakes from Australia and Southeast Asia confirms presence of a known pathogen - Sarcocystis nesbitti.

We examined Sarcocystis spp.in giant snakes from the Indo-Australian Archipelago and Australia using a combination of morphological (size of sporocyst) and molecular analyses.We amplified by PCR nuclear 18S rDNA from single sporocysts in order to detect mixed infections and unequivocally assign the retrieved sequences to the corresponding parasite

Robust Mediation Analysis: The R Package robmed

Mediation analysis is one of the most widely used statistical techniques in the social, behavioral, and medical sciences.Mediation models allow to study how an independent variable Beauty affects a dependent variable indirectly through one or more intervening variables, which are called mediators.The analysis is often carried out via a series of li

Electron Density of Adipose Tissues Determined by Phase-Contrast Computed Tomography Provides a Measure for Mitochondrial Density and Fat Content

Phase-contrast computed tomography (PCCT) is Daybed an X-ray-based imaging method measuring differences in the refractive index during tissue passage.While conventional X-ray techniques rely on the absorption of radiation due to differing tissue-specific attenuation coefficients, PCCT enables the determination of the electron density (ED).By the an

Hydrophobic coatings based on SiO2

The method of conversion, properties and usage of hydrophobic coatings on the bases of silicon dioxide is presented in the article.These Double UPH Bench (1/CN) layers are formed by use the silanes which are not react with water.What is more, these layers could provide not only great resistance to the effect of water molecules, but also better resi
