With the advent of single B-cell cloning technology, we can isolate antibodies against virtually any antigen to study the interaction of a given pathogen with the immune system and develop novel therapeutic strategies.Antibodies directed against the capsid of adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are a significant obstacle to effectively leveraging AAV as
Kinematic analysis quantifies gait abnormalities associated with lameness in broiler chickens and identifies evolutionary gait differences.
This is the first time that gait characteristics of broiler (meat) chickens have been compared with here their progenitor, jungle fowl, and the first kinematic study to report a link between broiler gait parameters and defined lameness scores.A commercial motion-capturing system recorded three-dimensional temporospatial information during walking.T
Effects of surface grafting of copper nanoparticles on the tensile and bonding properties of flax fibers
In the present work, sophie allport zebra functionalized copper nanoparticles (FCuNPs) were grafted onto flax fibers, and the effects on the tensile properties, bonding strength to an epoxy resin, as well as the properties of the flax fiber-epoxy model composites were investigated.The copper nanoparticles were synthesized at ambient temperature by
Diet of the bonnethead (Sphyrna tiburo) along the northern Gulf of Mexico and southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States
The diet of a potentially omnivorous coastal shark species, the bonnethead (Sphyrna tiburo), was examined read more in the western Atlantic along the coast of the southeastern United States.A total of 423 stomachs collected from Texas, Alabama, Florida and South Carolina were analyzed using standardized stomach content analysis methods.The diet was
A Competent and Novel Approach of Designing an Intelligent Image Retrieval System
A prominent technique used to search imperceptible images from any vast repository is denoted by Content based image retrieval (CBIR) system.The most eminent features of CBIR system are Texture, Color and Shape and in this paper these features are extracted using Local binary pattern, Color moment and Automatic segmentation process respectively.The
