Visceral urate deposition (visceral gout) is a common finding during post-mortem examination of poultry. Rare cases of visceral gout may occur in wild birds. A rare case of visceral urate deposition in a little bittern (Ixobrychus minutus) is reported here. In May 2013, carcass of a little bittern was submitted for necropsy to the Clinic of Poultry Diseases (Faculty of Veterinary Medic...

We argue that the holographic dual to little string theories at finite temperature suffers from a Gregory-Laflamme like instability, providing an alternative explanation to the results of hep-th/0012258.

‘‘Little languages’’ are programming languages or data description languages that are specialized to a particular problem domain. In the last decade, little languages have emerged to support a multitude of tasks ranging from complex statistical calculations to the construction of lexical parsers. Meanwhile, in the last half decade, a multitude of computer-controlled sound synthesis devices have...

This attractive insect is but one of the ~25,000 arthropod species likely to live in this 6000-hectare forest, confi rming the formidable diversity of arthropods, which appears to be 300 times that of mammals in...

Physical cues influence social judgments of others. For example, shorter individuals are evaluated less positively than taller individuals. Here, we demonstrate that height also impacts one of the most consequential intergroup judgments—attributions of humanity—and explore whether this effect is modulated by the tendency to value hierarchy maintenance. In Study 1, the shorter participants perce...

We investigate combinatorial lowness properties of sets of natural numbers (reals). The real A is super-low if A′ ≤tt ∅′, and A is jump-traceable if the values of {e}A(e) can be effectively approximated in a sense to be specified. We investigate those properties, in particular showing that super-lowness and jump-traceability coincide within the r.e. sets but none of the properties implies the o...
