Domestic and wild felids are considered suitable hosts for the parasitic mite Sarcoptes scabiei, and sarcoptic mange is reported in several felid species in the scientific literature.However, the historic classification of Sarcoptes mites into host-specific varieties does not include S.scabiei var.felis.It is unclear whether sarcoptic mange transmi

Alternations of marine and meteoric diagenetic conditions, most probably caused by relative sea level fluctuations, are recorded in an Upper Triassic (Rhaetian) patch reef in the Calcare di Zu Formation, Lombardian Basin.Three main types of cements have been distinguished: 1)isopachous fibrous calcite cement, partially to completely filling mostly

Integrated urban models (IUMs) (aka, integrated transport/land-use models) have been developed and (sometimes) applied for more than 50 years, dating back to the early 1960s.IUMs have been criticized over this same period on both practical and theoretical grounds.At the same time, continuing and very significant technological developments have made

A two-dimensional mathematical model is presented for the laminar heat and mass transfer of an electrically-conducting, viscous and Joule (Ohmic) Frothing Cups heating fluid over an inclined radiate isothermal permeable surface in the presence of the variable thermal conductivity, thermophoresis and heat generation.The Talbot- Cheng-Scheffer-Willis

Abstract Background People who inject drugs (PWID) are at an increased risk of wound botulism, a potentially fatal acute paralytic illness.During the first 6 months of 2015, a large outbreak of wound botulism was confirmed among PWID in Scotland, which resulted in the largest outbreak in Europe to date.Methods A multidisciplinary Incident Managemen
