OLFACTORY AND SOLITARY CHEMOSENSORY CELLS: TWO DIFFERENT CHEMOSENSORY SYSTEMS IN THE NASAL CAVITY OF THE AMERICAN ALLIGATOR, ALLIGATOR MISSISSIPPIENSIS

Abstract Background The nasal cavity of all vertebrates houses multiple chemosensors, either innervated by the Ist (olfactory) or the Vth (trigeminal) cranial nerve.Various types of receptor cells are present, either SLIPPERS segregated in different compartments (e.g.in rodents) or mingled in one epithelium (e.g.fish).In addition, solitary chemosen

Abstract Background Quantification of viable microorganisms is an important step in microbiological research as well as in microbial product formulation to develop biological control products or probiotics.Often, the efficiency of the resulting product is dependent on the microbial cell density and their viability, which may decrease over time.Comm

The helical planetary transmission system (HPTS) is widely used in wind power, hydropower, and shield machine, which operating Party Pack conditions are extremely complicated, and the existence of component installation errors will result in response deviations to the theoretical design.A dynamic model for slice type bending-torsional-pendulum of t

BackgroundSmoking prevalence remains high in Malaysia.Primary care doctors have a good opportunity to motivate the smokers to quit smoking in view of the accessibility of primary healthcare clinics to the public.The objective of this study was to determine the practice of smoking cessation management among primary care doctors and its associated fa

This paper deals with the neural network identification-based model predictive heading control problem in a wave glider.First, based on a kinematic model of the wave glider subjected to external disturbance and system BOULARDI MAX uncertainty, a state space model of the wave glider is established.Then, a neural network identification-based model pr
