BACKGROUND Large carnivores such as pumas are frequently killed due to conflicts with human populations involving predation on domestic herds. In Southern Brazil, traditional pasture systems, where animals feed without specific husbandry practices is typical, becoming the herds vulnerable to puma attacks. The aim of this study was to examine the conflict between local people and pumas in a Prot...

OBJECTIVE Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is one of the most aggressive human cancers and often shows resistance to multimodal therapeutic approaches. It has been shown that the transcriptional repressor Slug inhibits the chemotherapeutic agent-induced apoptosis of cancer cells. We evaluated whether targeting of Slug could augment doxorubicin (DOX)-induced apoptosis of ATC cells. We also det...

Jaguars, Panthera onca (Linnaeus, 1758), and pumas, Puma concolor 1771) are the largest felids in neotropics. Both can overlap niche axes (time, space prey), therefore potentially competing species. Segregation mechanisms presented by a low one of these facilitate coexistence. Our aim was to analyze jaguar puma temporal spatial for understanding their segregation mechanisms. Between 2015 2017, ...

Weed competes with crops for water, nutrients and light so weed infestation is one of the major threats to crop. Present investigation was aimed to asses the comparative efficacy of different herbicides for weed management in wheat crop under agro-climatic conditions of Pakistan. This experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) design with five replications. Different h...
