Although the natural hosts of avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are wild birds, multiple subtypes of AIVs have established epidemics in numerous mammals due to their cross-species spillover.Replication and evolution in intermedia mammalian hosts may facilitate AIV adaptation in humans.Because of their large population and intimacy with humans, dogs co
Investigation on Cutting Performance of Micro-Textured Cutting Tools
This paper explores the influence of micro textures on cutting performance Sweatshirt of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) tools from two aspects, that is, tool wear and machined surface roughness.By designing micro-hole textures with different forms and scales on the rake face of tools when PCBN tools turn hardened steel GCr15, and combin
Morphological and immunohistochemical characterisation of seminomas in Norwegian dogs
Abstract Background Seminomas in the dog have traditionally been assumed to resemble human spermatocytic seminomas, based on their low malignancy and high occurrence in old individuals.However, recently published studies indicate that canine seminomas can be classified as classical and spermatocytic seminomas in a similar way as in man, and CD Rece
Preliminary Experimental Results of Context-Aware Teams of Multiple Autonomous Agents Operating under Constrained Communications
This work presents and experimentally tests the framework Planters used by our context-aware, distributed team of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (SUAS) capable of operating in real time, in an autonomous fashion, and under constrained communications.Our framework relies on a three-layered approach: (1) an operational layer, where fast temporal and n
Digital Solutions for Informed Decision Making
African American (AA) men are significantly more likely to die of prostate cancer (PrCA) than other racial groups, and there is a critical need to identify strategies for providing information about PrCA screening and the importance of informed decision making (IDM).To assess whether a computer-based IDM intervention for PrCA screening would be app
