conclusions the present investigation supports the use of the methanolic extract of a. maurorum as an antiviral drug in folk and modern medicine. this activity may justify its use as a source of natural compounds to control fmdv in infected animals. background foot and mouth disease (fmd) is an infectious disease of cloven-hoofed animals that has adverse economic impacts. given the prevalence o...

Spatial awareness is important in domains where safety hinges on human operators keeping track of the relative locations of objects in the environment. While a variety of subjective and judgment-based measures have been used to evaluate spatial awareness, none have probed all three of its levels: (1) identification of environmental objects, (2) their current locations relative to the operator, ...

Swordtail fish (Poeciliidae: genus Xiphophorus) are a paradigmatic case of sexual selection by sensory exploitation. Female preference for males with a conspicuous "sword" ornament is ancestral, suggesting that male morphology has evolved in response to a preexisting bias. The perceptual mechanisms underlying female mate choice have not been identified, complicating efforts to understand the se...

As the launching of a worm can have disastrous effects on the Internet in just minutes, it is essential to automatically and reliably detect worms in their early stages. In contrast to content-based approaches, in this paper we study the feasibility of a behavior-based solution through our SWORD framework. As SWORD does not inspect the payload of traffic, it is resilient against polymorphic wor...

The possession of a conspicuous extension of colored ventral rays of the caudal fin in male fish of swordtails (genus Xiphophorus) is a prominent example for a trait that evolved by sexual selection. To understand the evolutionary history of this so-called sword molecularly, it is of interest to unravel the developmental pathways responsible for extended growth of sword rays during development ...
