Six slags from Volubilis archaeological site roman period (II-III centuries AC) and Jabal Awam ancient mine have been 2 Piece Reclining Sectional examined for their mineral and chemical compositions by a multi-technique approach (Optical and metallographical microscopies, XRD, ICP-AES and XRF).Mineralogical analyses have emphasised the occurrence o
Modulation of Gene Expression in Key Survival Pathways During Daily Torpor in the Gray Mouse Lemur, Microcebus murinus
A variety of mammals employ torpor as an energy-saving strategy in environments of marginal or severe stress either Spatulas on a daily basis during their inactive period or on a seasonal basis during prolonged multi-day hibernation.Recently, a few Madagascar lemur species have been identified as the only primates that exhibit torpor; one of these
Testing the effectiveness of an international conservation agreement: marketplace forensics and CITES caviar trade regulation.
BACKGROUND: The international wildlife trade is a key threat to biodiversity.Temporal genetic marketplace monitoring can determine if wildlife trade regulation efforts such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) are succeeding.Protected under CITES effective 1997, sturgeons and paddlefishes, the producers of black ca
Prediction of Skid Resistance Value of Glass Fiber-Reinforced Tiling Materials
This research focuses on the use of adaptive artificial neural network system for evaluating the skid Spurs resistance value (British Pendulum Number; BPN) of the glass fiber-reinforced tiling materials.During the creation of the neural model, four main factors were considered: fiber, calcium carbonate content, sand blasting, and polishing properti
