Recurrent myelitis is one of the predominant characteristics in patients with neuromyelitis optica (NMO).While paresis, visual loss, sensory deficits, and bladder dysfunction are well known symptoms in NMO patients, pain has been recognized only recently as another key symptom of the disease.Although spinal cord inflammation is a defining aspect of
Using mixed-species bird flocks as an example, we model the payoffs for two types of species from participating in multi-species animal groups.Salliers feed on mobile prey, are good sentinels and do not affect prey capture rates of gleaners; gleaners feed on prey on substrates and can enhance the prey capture rate of salliers by flushing prey, but
This letter describes the output power enhancement of the GaN-based flip-chip light-emitting diodes Bureau (FC LED) featuring conical structures fabricated by etching a self-assembled monolayer SiO2 spheres as the hard mask.By roughening the surface of FC LED components, it increases structural size of the Mobile Accessories components and elevates
Abstract Background International standard panels of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have replaced microsatellites in several species for parentage assessment and assignment (PA) purposes.However, such a resource is still lacking in goats.The application of a cheap tool for PA would help the management of goat populations by improving the re
Abstract Background Precise data on quantitative kinetics of blood feeding of fleas, particularly immediately after contact with the host, are essential for understanding dynamics of flea-borne disease Bodysuits transmission and for evaluating flea control strategies.Standard methods used are inadequate for studies that simulate early events after
