The "goose necku deformity as seen in left ventriculogrruas in the endocardial cushion defect persists after surgical treatment in whkh the subaodc deficiency of the venMcular septum is built up with prosthetic material and the natural mitral valve is replaced by a prosthesis. Anatomic studies indicate that the diaphragmatic (inflow) aspect of the left ventricle and the venMcuhu septum are shor...

This paper presents results from a multidisciplinary study of a negotiation process between farmers and wildlife authorities which led to an agricultural subsidy scheme to alleviate conflicts between agriculture and geese in Norway. The Svalbard-breeding population of pink-footed geese Anser brachyrhynchus has increased considerably over the last decades and conflicts with farmers have escalate...

Abstract Geese are one of the most important poultry around world. For origin geese, current generally accepted hypothesis is that European domestic geese were originated from greylag goose (Anser anser), and Chinese have two origins, breeds which swan cygnoides), Yili geese. In order to explain demographic history we selected 14 Europe China wild populations goose, whole genome resequencing da...

Cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1) plays a crucial role in the synthesis of cholic acid and cholesterol catabolism. In this study, Cyp7a1 expression in goose liver was identified for the first time using differential display reverse transcription PCR. This study used real-time PCR and quantified the transcript levels of the cyp7a1 gene under different feeding conditions. In overfeeding, cyp7a1...

Many Social Network Services (SNSs) such as Facebook and MySpace rely on a web server that enables the communication between users. As a consequence, SNSs’ users require Internet access to participate and interact with their contacts, a service that is not usually available in rural and developing areas. In this paper we introduce Goose, a distributed SNS for developing regions which provides s...

We present a historical account of the story behind the famous hawk/goose experiments of Lorenz and Tinbergen in a wider context of cognitive ethology. We discuss their significance, for ethological experimentation in general, and specifically for understanding innate constraints on cognition. As examples of the continuing significance of the hawk/goose paradigm of selective habituation, we dis...

High-speed and reliable mechanism is required to support peer-to-peer communications for implementing distributed functions in Substation Automation System (SAS). This paper presents the practical implementation and testing of protection scheme based on high-speed peer-to-peer communication using GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) message model in a laboratory setup. An analysis o...
