Chytridiomycosis, caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), constitutes a major threat to many amphibian species worldwide. Predicting the and regions of highest geographical risk is critical for early detection mitigation chytrid emergence. In this study, using niche modelling approach, most conducive habitat Bd within Sri Lanka (a high-risk zone) was modelled. The distribution 69 then mo...

Two hundred and twenty-one business executives completed the Big Five NEO-RI-R (Costa & McCrae, 1992; an inventory of normal personality), the Hogan Development Survey (HDS) (Hogan & Hogan, 1997; an inventory of career derailing tendencies) and the Motives, Values and Preferences Inventory (MVPI) (Hogan & Hogan, 1999; an inventory of ten core occupational values). Correlational and regression a...

The Collaborative Cross (CC) is a renewable mouse resource that mimics the genetic diversity in humans. The recombinant inbred intercrosses (RIX) generated from CC recombinant inbred (RI) lines share similar genetic structures to those of F(2) individuals. In contrast to F(2) mice, genotypes of RIX can be inferred from the genotypes of their RI parents and can be produced repeatedly. Also, RIX ...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of ractopamine (RAC) and steroidal implant treatments on performance, carcass traits, blood metabolites, and lipogenic enzyme activity in feedlot cattle. In Exp. 1, yearling steers (n = 486; initial BW = 305 kg) were used in a 3 × 3 factorial arrangement of RAC doses of 0 (R0), 100 (R100), or 200 (R200) mg·steer(-1)·d(-1) fed for 28 d and impla...

background and aims. although salivary gland tumors are not very common, early diagnosis and treatment is crucial because of their proximity to vital organs, and therefore, determining the efficacy of new imaging procedures becomes important. this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and color doppler ultrasonography parameters in the diagnosis and differenti...
