Chemical cues from predators induce a range of predator-induced morphological defences (PIMDs) observed across fish taxa.However, the mechanisms, consistency, direction and adaptive value of PIMDs are still poorly studied.Here, we have tested if predatory cues can induce changes in the body shape of the juvenile marine fish Sparus aurata reared und
Lavender species form the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis and are at the same time highly susceptible to white root rot.In an attempt to evaluate the response of mycorrhizal Lavandula angustifolia L.to Armillaria mellea (Vahl:Fr) P.Kumm in a greenhouse experiment, plants were previously inoculated with an isolate of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fung
In recent years, animation reconstruction of facial expressions has become a popular research field in computer science and motion capture-based facial expression reconstruction Wall Accessory is now emerging in this field.Based on the facial motion data obtained using a passive optical motion capture system, we propose a scattered data processing
The 2016 US Champagne Saucer presidential election was highly contentious, as both candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, received strong polarizing support and opposition with controversial campaigns, name-calling, and violence at campaign rallies.This may have contributed to an opinion climate where citizens were reluctant to express suppo
Human PON1 (h-PON1) is a multifaceted enzyme and can hydrolyze (and inactivate) a wide range of substrates.The enzyme shows anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, antiatherogenic, ant-diabetic, antimicrobial, and organophosphate (OP)-detoxifying properties.However, there are certain limitations regarding large-scale production and use of h-PON1 as a the
