Abstract This essay discusses the organizational design of Unjani Clinics as described in Szerb, Kivleneice, and Aggarwal’s zoo case study.

The high-energy large-angle limit of the completely differential cross section for the process e+ z + e+ ef + e+ z (or for the process with all or some of the particles replaced by p-mesons) is computed for arbitrary helicities of incident and final particles. This process is interesting as a test of electrodynamics and of the statistics of the p-meson. The formula is short and perhaps suitable...

Using a broad-band recording system (150 Hz-100 kHz) the echolocation calls of the lesser short-tailed bat (Mystacina tuberculata) were recorded under three very different situations: freeflying, flying within a flight cage, and on release from the hand. Calls of bats landing and feeding on a platform in Wellington Zoo were also recorded. Both the lowest frequency and frequency of peak amplitud...

From 2002 to 2005, we collected 118 serum samples from 34 species belonging to 13 families of zoo animals in Korea and determined the prevalence of antibodies for 18 serovars of Leptospira spp. using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). Twenty-nine (25%) of the serum samples tested were positive for one or more of the serovars. There were no significant differences in relation to genders: ...

Key points • As the number of authors on scientific publications increases, ordered lists of author names are proving inadequate for the purposes of attribution and credit. • A multi-stakeholder group has produced a contributor role taxonomy for use in scientific publications. • Identifying specific contributions to published research will lead to appropriate credit, fewer author disputes, and ...

It may become advantageous to keep human-managed animals in the social network groups to which they have adapted. Data concerning the social networks of farm animal species and their ancestors are scarce but essential to establishing the importance of a natural social network for farmed animal species. Social Network Analysis (SNA) facilitates the characterization of social networking at group,...
