We report here the complete genome sequence of a goose parvovirus (GPV) strain, RC16, which was isolated from an ill goose in 2016 at Rongchang, Chongqing, China. The GPV strain RC16 isolated was passaged and identified, whose full-length genome is 5,046 nucleotides long.

4,4'-Dinitrocarbanilide (DNC) was extracted from chicken, duck, goose, and snake eggs and isolated by reversed-phase liquid chromatography. DNC was detected by ultraviolet absorbance at 347 nm and quantitated by comparison with a calibration standard. Recoveries of DNC from fortified control chicken, duck, goose, and snake egg samples were determined for DNC levels of 0.16, 10, and 16 microg/g....

The antigenic relatedness of minute virus of mice (MVM), Kilham rat virus (KR), H1 virus (H1), haemorrhagic encephalopathy of rats virus (HER), porcine parvovirus (PPV), canine parvovirus (CPV), feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), goose parvovirus (GPV) and bovine parvovirus (BPV) was studied by immunofluorescence microscopy (FA) and by serum neutralization (SN). An antigenically related group co...

In the present study, we sequenced and analysed the complete genomes of a novel duck parvovirus (NM100) isolates derived from Muscovy ducks in Fujian, Southeast China. According to the phylogenetic analysis, based on the complete genome and VP1 gene showed that novel duck parvovirus strain NM100 belong to the MDPV clusters, whereas the VP3 gene showed that strain NM100 belong to the GPV cluster...

Park managers are concerned that moose (Alces alces), caribou (Rangifer tarandus), and grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) may be avoiding areas along the 130 km road through Denali National Park as a result of high traffic volume, thus decreasing opportunities for visitors to view wildlife. A wildlife monitoring system was developed in 1996 that used 19 landscape level viewsheds, stratified into four...

Knowledge of the relationship between waterfowl hunters and harvest levels may better inform harvest management decisions. We examined frequency of different sizes of daily harvests among duck hunters, and hunters’ contributions to duck harvest in the Central Flyway from 1975–1984, 1988–1993, and 2002–2011 using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Parts Collection Survey. We stratified hunters...

requested that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) conduct another assessment of the projected impacts of extended framework dates for duck hunting. To better assess the potential impact, the Service asked the Flyway Councils to survey their respective States concerning their interests in extended framework dates in each of their duck-hunting zones. Based on this survey, which assumed ...

In this commentary, we elaborate on the necessity to choose among a wider, higher-level conceptual approach and a more concrete, skills oriented one in HCI education, as a result of HCI enlarging scope and curriculum pressures. First, the role and usefulness of more abstract topics are discussed, and second, some reflections on how to cover them in HCI education are presented.

Social interactions among multiple user groups of tank irrigation systems were studied to propose policies for sustainable management of tanks. Crop growers are the major competitors for water besides encroachers, fish and duck farmers. Existence of week property rights remained as the reason for the competition among users that subsequently led to conflicts. Conflicts aroused among user groups...
