Trace fossils and extended organisms: a physiological perspective
Organism-built structures have long been useful artifacts for students of evolution and systematics, because they represent a permanent record of a set of behaviors. These structures also represent an investment of energy by an organism, and to persist in the fossil record, the energetic investment in the structure must pay off for the organisms that build it, in either improved survivorship, i...
متن کاملComparative possession of Shiga toxin, intimin, enterohaemolysin and major extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) genes in Escherichia coli isolated from backyard and farmed poultry
The present work was conducted to compare the occurrence of Escherichia coli possessing virulence and ESBL genes in backyard and farmed poultry. Three hundred and sixty samples from the poultry kept in backyard system and 120 samples from the farmed birds were collected from West Bengal, India. Among the E. coli isolates of backyard poultry (O2, O10, O25, O55, O60, O106, UT), none of them posse...
متن کاملA review of the performance of zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model organism in nanotoxicological research and its differences with other animal models
Today, nanotechnology is recognized as one of the leading sciences in the world, which manipulates atoms and molecules in order to produce valuable products. Extensive use of nanomaterials in various industrial sectors has increased the possibility of their diffusion in water bodies and the environment. Therefore, the study of toxicity of these substances is considered as one of the research ne...
متن کاملEffects of Nymphaea lotus Linn. (Nymphaeaceae) extract on sperm quality and reproductive function of adult albino male rats
Introduction: Nymphea lotus Linn (N. lotus) flowers are used empirically for the treatment of male sexual disorders in Cameroon west region. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of the N. lotus on some parameters of male fertility in adult albino male rats. Methods: twenty four male rats were divided in 4 groups (n=6 each) and subjected to the following treatment: distilled water as veh...
متن کاملSimulating energy method for grout-induced crack analysis of rock structures at Chadormalu mine by extended finite element method
Fracture mechanics is a vital component involved in studying the exact behavior of rock materials. Detection and assessment of the behavior of rock joints injected by grout plays an important role in numerical modelling in rock mechanic projects. The importance of mechanisms associated with initiation and propagation of cracks due to hydraulic fracturing has led to a considerable interest in in...
