This paper describes work being conducted at the Louisiana State University Robotics Research Laboratory towards the development of legged robot walking algorithms for unstructured environments. This work is associated with the Robo-Tiger project whose goal is the construction of a life-size robotic tiger mascot with the physical attributes of a real tiger. The focus of this research is on robo...

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an inherited commonly reported in cats, but rarely big cats. It associated with formation of cysts the kidneys. This article describes clinical, pathology and immunohistochemistry findings PKD a Siberian hybrid tiger. A 16-year-old female captive tiger showed inappetence, weight loss, polyuria, polydipsia. Within six months, its body hydration status were prog...

Blastomycosis was diagnosed in six nondomestic felids from eastern Tennessee, including two Asian lions (Panthera leo persicus), one African lion (Panthera leo), one Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris), one cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), and one snow leopard (Panthera uncia). Clinical signs included lethargy, anorexia, weight loss, dyspnea, sneezing. ataxia, and paresis. Variable nonspecific changes ...

male guinea pigs show high susceptibility to burkholderia mallei and have been used as animal models in glanders studies. the purpose of our study was to elucidate glanders comparative pathogenesis in guinea pigs. we present here the histological changes and bacterial isolation that develop over time in guinea pigs inoculated intraperitoneally (ip) with two strain of b. mallei. ten male guinea ...

The effects of chitosan (2%) coating combined with green tea extract (GTE) (1%) on the quality of tiger-tooth croaker (Otolithes ruber) fillets including chemical, microbiological, texture, color and sensory properties during 16 days of refrigerated storage was investigated. The color changes were significantly retared, and the texture parameteres and sensory scores were significantly improved ...

mercury levels in hepatopancreas, muscle and exoskeleton tissues of male and female green tiger prawn, p.semisulcatus, from the persian gulf were compared. significantly higher levels (p

Tiger Shark is a scalable, parallel file system designed to support interactive multimedia applications, particularly large-scale ones such as interactive television (ITV). Tiger Shark runs under the IBM AIX@ operating system, on machines ranging from RS/6000'" desktop workstations to the SP2@ parallel supercomputer. In addition to supporting continuous-time data, Tiger Shark provides scalabili...
