Despite the enormous amount of data available on the importance of the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota in vertebrate (especially mammals), information on the GI microbiota of seabirds remains incomplete. As with many seabirds, penguins have a unique digestive physiology that enables them to store large reserves of adipose tissue, protein, and lipids. This study used quantitative real-time poly...

Ehram is a type of clothing used in outwear by women for covering or protection from cold. As result shearing the wool sheep, cleaning it its dirt, drying laying and spinning it, ehram yarns are prepared woven on wooden shuttle handloom.

Populations of the macaroni penguin Eudyptes chrysolophus and eastern rockhopper E. filholi breeding at Marion Island (Prince Edward Islands) in sub-Antarctic Indian Ocean decreased from 1994 to 2018. We examined their diets when rearing chicks during this period. There was substantial overlap two species, with crustaceans, dominated by euphausiids Thysanoessa vicina Euphausia vallentini, makin...

Introduction The Creativity and Cognition Research Studios (C&CRS) were established for the purposes of developing new art and technology projects and to conduct research into the creative process. In the COSTART Project 1998-2003 an innovative approach to the study of technology-based art founded on practice-led research methods has been developed. The work centers on the practice of art makin...

Leather industry, one of the polluting industries because of generation of huge amount of liquid and solid wastes, also emits obnoxious smell because of degradation of proteinous material of skin and generation of gases such as NH3, H2S and CO2. Solid wastes are raw trimmings, fleshings, chrome shavings, buffing dusts and keratin wastes. Accumulation of these wastes lead to sludge problem and c...

Medical wastes include all infectious waste, hazardous (including low-level radioactive) wastes, and any other wastes that are generated from all types of health care institutions, including hospitals, clinics, doctor (including dental and veterinary) offices, and medical laboratories (42). 1 The main focus of concern has been on the portion of medical wastes that are defined as infectious, and...

The liquid wastes produced during the processing of radioactive materials at the Savannah River Site were initially stored in large underground tanks constructed of carbon steel. These liquid wastes were generated from the Purex process (for producing plutonium) and the HM process (for producing tritium). The liquid wastes were designated as high-level wastes and lowlevel wastes. As the product...
