Contagious agalactia (CA), an infectious disease of small ruminants, caused by Mycoplasma agalactiae, is responsible for severe losses to dairy sheep production with substantial socioeconomic impacts on small-scale farmers.The diagnosis of CA is still problematic, time-consuming and requires well-equipped labs for confirmation of outbreaks.Therefor

Small-strain shear modulus, Gmax, is a key evaluation index to study the dynamic characteristics of soil in geotechnical engineering.It is widely adopted to evaluate the stiffness of soft soil Womens Jackets in soil dynamic engineering.In this paper, the cyclic triaxial tests and resonance column tests were carried out to explore the variation of G

Commentary on: Chapter 15: How to Integrate Learning Design into Existing Practice.(Janssen & Hermans, Plug Top Power Supplies 2005) Abstract: Taking IMS Learning Design (LD) beyond the domain of researchers and programmers, this short paper looks at some of the challenges of mainstreaming it within institutional strategies, processes, and cultures

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an important global pathogen for which new drugs are urgently required.The ability of the organism to survive and multiply within macrophages may contribute to the lengthy Case treatment regimen with multiple drugs that are required to cure the infection.We screened the MyriaScreen II diversity library of 10,000 compou

We directly tested whether, when given the choice to ascend or descend, rodents would favor traveling downwards or upwards.The test incorporated different rodent species that dwell in different habitats and display different Wall Crock life and motor styles.Testing was performed in a three-dimensional Y-maze in which the basis was horizontal and, b
