THE DIFFICULTIES OF EX SITU CONSERVATION: A NATIONWIDE INVESTIGATION OF AVIAN HAEMOSPORIDIA AMONG CAPTIVE PENGUINS IN JAPAN

The Difficulties of Ex Situ Conservation: A Nationwide Investigation of Avian Haemosporidia Among Captive Penguins in Japan

Avian malaria has been a continuous problem in both wild and captive populations of penguins throughout the world.In Japan, where there are over 3000 captive penguins, avian malaria (by Plasmodium spp.) and haemoproteosis (by Haemoproteus spp.) have been sporadically detected throughout the country.However, no comprehensive studies have been carrie

Some results on common best proximity point in fuzzy metric

Suspension In this paper, we dene the concepts of commute proximally, dominate prox- imally, weakly dominate proximally and common best proximity point in fuzzy metric space (abbreviated, FM-space).We prove some common Bike Racks best proximity point and com- mon xed point theorems for dominate proximally and weakly dominate proximally map- pings i

Phylogeography of Ivory shell (Babylonia areolata) in the Gulf of Thailand revealed by COI gene structure and differentiation of shell color by ITS1 DNA

Babylonia areolata is an aquatic mollusk in the genus of the gastropod family Buccinidae.Genetic variations were observed in the 542 base pairs of the sequences from its cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) Safety Rollers gene of mtDNA.COI alignments showed that there were two monophyletic clades on the phylogenetic tree, referred as B.areolata.These

A study on the combined effects of variable viscosity and thermal conductivity on forced convection in bidisperse porous medium

This research focuses on exploring the LECITHIN flow and temperature distribution of forced convection in a channel of horizontally placed parallel plate under the existence of a bidisperse porous medium (BDPM) emphasizing the consequences of viscous dissipation.The temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and viscosity are considered while maint
