TESTING THE EFFECT OF MEDICAL POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT TRAINING ON SALIVARY CORTISOL LEVELS IN BONOBOS AND ORANGUTANS.

Testing the effect of medical positive reinforcement training on salivary cortisol levels in bonobos and orangutans.

The management of captive animals has been improved by the establishment of positive reinforcement training as a tool to facilitate interactions between caretakers and animals.In great apes, positive reinforcement training has also been used to train individuals to participate in simple medical procedures to monitor physical health.One aim of posit

Employ DBSCAN and Neighbor Voting to Screen Selective Forwarding Attack Under Variable Environment in Event-Driven Wireless Sensor Networks

In the event-driven wireless sensor networks (EWSNs), the event of interests occurs irregularly and at random Herbal Supplement in the network.Then, sensor nodes near the event sense the event and send out data packets of the event.Next, router nodes (RNs) forward those packets to the sink node (SN) by multi-hop communications.Compromised RNs would

Constitutive type VI secretion system expression gives Vibrio cholerae intra- and interspecific competitive advantages.

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) mediates protein translocation across the cell membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, including Vibrio cholerae - the causative agent of cholera.All V.cholerae strains examined to date harbor gene clusters encoding a T6SS.Structural similarity and sequence homology between components of the T6SS and the T4 bacteriop

Development of a high throughput human stool specimen processing method for a molecular Helicobacter pylori clarithromycin resistance assay.

It has become critical to detect Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection due to the link to gastric cancer with some strains.These strains are also increasing in resistance to antibiotics with clarithromycin leading the way as the first line treatment.Resistance to clarithromycin has been shown to correlate with the A2142G, A2142C, and A2143G muta
