Cryptosporidium, an enteric parasite of humans and a wide range of other mammals, presents numerous challenges to the supply of safe drinking water. We performed a wildlife survey, focusing on white-tailed deer and small mammals, to assess whether they may serve as environmental sources of Cryptosporidium. A PCR-based approach that permitted genetic characterization via sequence analysis was ap...

We examined the effects of separate removal experiments of two generalist consumers, the white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) and the eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus), on nest predation rates of forest songbirds. Mice are numerically dominant at our study sites and were shown to be strong predators in other predator–prey interactions, such as those involving gypsy moths. Therefore, we hyp...

Greater prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) are a medium-sized grouse species (800–1000 g; 1.8–2.2 lbs). During spring they gather on communal breeding areas, or leks, where males display and compete for opportunities to mate. Prairie-chicken leks are also called booming grounds because males make a low-frequency, booming vocalization during their displays. Orange air sacs on the sid...

Cancer is a non-communicable disease in which cells of any organ the body grow out control. The subject our research cancer that occurs oral cavity, includes lips, inner lining lips and cheeks called buccal mucosa, teeth, gums, front tongue, floor mouth below hard palate (bony roof mouth).

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli (EFFC) is a distinct, rare, and underdiagnosed condition of unknown etiology that is characterized by well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. The pigmentation is usually on both maxillary, preauricular regions, and the cheeks. We report a case of a 12-year-old boy with EFFC that was associated with reticulated pigmentati...

Face recognition underage variation is a challenging problem. It difficult task because ageing an intrinsic variation, not like pose and illumination, which can be controlled. We propose approach to extract invariant features improve facial using components. Can over age progression improved by resizing independently each individual component? The components: eyes, mouth, nose were extracted th...
