AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of predation risk on the occurrence of trophic cascades in a benthic food chain, and detect if the ecological consequences of predation risk can reverberate in patterns observed across different hierarchical Queen Bookcase Bed scales, such as prey size, prey growth efficiency and nutrient recyclin
Proper positioning of cells is essential for many aspects of development.Daughter cell positions can be specified via orienting the cell division axis during cytokinesis.Rotatory actomyosin flows during division have been implied in specifying and reorienting the cell division axis, but how general such reorientation events are, and how they are Ro
Probiotics application in aquaculture has been a common practice over the last decade whereby this microbial derivate is used in the form of single or multi-strain probiotics (MSP).Multi-strain probiotics provide more benefits to aquatic organisms as it provides synergistic effect in contrast to the use of a single-strain probiotic (SSP).The effect
IntroductionAutoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is a common and chronic autoimmune disease.Recent evidence indicates that serum metabolites and dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota are associated with AIT, with the underlying mechanism involving the apoptosis of thyroid follicular epithelial cells.Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese therapy, has demonstr
Conventional approaches to global localization and navigation mainly rely on metric maps to provide precise geometric coordinates, which may cause the problem of large-scale structural ambiguity and lack semantic information of the environment.This paper presents a scalable vision-based topological mapping and navigation method for a mobile robot t
