HISTOPATHOLOGY AND SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF PUTATIVE GROWTH FACTORS IN RELATION TO BACTERIAL LOCALIZATION OF CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI WITHIN THE OVINE GALLBLADDER

Histopathology and Spatial Distribution of Putative Growth Factors in Relation to Bacterial Localization of Campylobacter jejuni Within the Ovine Gallbladder

Campylobacter jejuni is an important zoonotic pathogen that is the leading cause of both human foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide and ovine abortion in the United States.Previous studies have demonstrated that the gallbladder of ruminants is often positive on culture for Campylobacter sp., suggesting that this environment may serve as a

Efficient Tag Grouping RFID Anti-Collision Algorithm for Internet of Things Applications Based on Improved K-Means Clustering

Dynamic Frame Slotted ALOHA (DFSA) is a de facto algorithm in the EPC Global Class-1 Generation-2 protocol for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag collision problem.DFSA fails when the UHF RFID tag deployment becomes dense like in Internet of Things (IoT).Existing works do not provide readers prior tag estimates.Most algorithms assume a colli

A Comprehensive Review: Impacts of Extreme Temperatures Due to Climate Change on Power Grid Infrastructure and Operation

The power grid is experiencing a multi-fold transformation while the global climate evolves with record-breaking extreme temperatures during heat domes, polar vortices, and severe ice.Over the decades, these extreme temperature events have increased in frequency, duration, and intensity.The power grid infrastructure is geographically spread over th

The effect of temperature and invasive alien predator on genetic and phenotypic variation in the damselfly Ischnura elegans: cross-latitude comparison

Abstract Background Understanding and predicting how organisms respond to human-caused environmental changes has become a major concern in conservation biology.Here, we linked gene expression and phenotypic data to identify candidate genes underlying existing phenotypic trait differentiation under individual and combined environmental variables.For
