COMPARISON OF SPERMOPHILUS DAURICUS GASTROINTESTINAL PHENOTYPIC FLEXIBILITY BETWEEN HIBERNATING AND NON-HIBERNATING SEASONS

Comparison of Spermophilus dauricus gastrointestinal phenotypic flexibility between hibernating and non-hibernating seasons

Traits of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are phenotypically flexible and seem to reflect the ecological features of animals.The Daurian ground squirrel (Spermophilus dauricus) is a typical fat-storing, hibernating animal.However, information on seasonal GI plasticity in this species is limited.The aim of the present study was to characterize the m

Do partial AZFc deletions affect the sperm retrieval rate in non-mosaic Klinefelter patients undergoing microdissection testicular sperm extraction?

Abstract Background The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic factors for sperm retrieval and determine if Y chromosome Modesty Panels deletion is associated with deleterious effects on spermatogenesis in non-mosaic Klinefelter patients.Whether Y chromosome deletion determines the sperm retrieval rate in non-mosaic Klinefelter patient

Feature Extraction Technique Using Weighted Histogram Analysis Method (WHAM) for Herbs Discrimination Based on Gas Chromatography Signal

Herbs discrimination by investigating volatile compound using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) is a common method adopted by botanists and scientists.Based on this common method, usually botanists and scientists would only focus on the major volatile compound in order to determine the species of the herbs.However, it is difficult to diff
